Security and privacy built into biometric payments

Biometric payments require more than face matching. Payface combines identity checks, liveness detection, encryption, and data handling controls.

How Payface protects biometric payments

Liveness detection

Passive liveness checks help detect presentation attacks using photos, screens, or masks. Fortface liveness has passed iBeta Level 1 and Level 2 PAD testing.

Anti-injection and deepfake defense

Additional security layers help detect capture injection and synthetic content. Available controls depend on the integration.

Encrypted templates

Biometric templates represent facial characteristics for matching and are encrypted at rest and in transit.

Consent-first enrollment

Shoppers choose whether to enroll and receive information about how their biometric data will be collected, used, and retained.

Data retention and deletion

Retention periods and deletion processes are described in the applicable biometric data notice and privacy policy.

Deployed in retail

Payface's retail deployment data includes 218 stores and 1,340 checkout lanes in operation as of 2026.
