With the advent of privacy legislation in nearly every jurisdiction, the legal and reputational risks of unethical or insecure data practices are unfortunately often being driven by cost-benefit motivations instead of diligent and ethical practices for collecting, storing, sharing and using personally identifiable information (PII).
Attain Insight Intrinsic is a unique technology that enables organizations to anonymize user identity information, including everything from driver’s licenses to facial recognition biometric data. Anonymized data is low risk from a security perspective because it cannot be ‘decoded’ or linked back to any specific individual, meaning that an individual’s privacy has been protected.
Intrinsic protects privacy with Search-Preserving Anonymization (SPAn) – a Biometric Privacy Enhancing Technology (B-PET) that transforms data in a one-way process. By removing all Personally Identifiable information (PII), SPAn eliminates regulatory and custodial burdens while preserving the ability to securely search and match biometric identifiers. This anonymized data can be used for a number of important functions:
Attain Insight Intrinsic provides anonymity for both biometric and non-biometric data.
Intrinsic’s Search-Preserving Anonymization enables organizations to:
This capability, offered only by Attain Insight, can assist with intelligence collection, public safety, anti-fraud practices, improved government programming and citizen privacy protection.
Note: Intrinsic’s new anonymization component, announced in 2024, is the only solution in a new and distinct class of Biometric Privacy Enhancing Technologies (B-PETs) called Search-Preserving Anonymization (SPAn) that significantly reduces regulatory and custodial responsibilities by removing PII while still enabling searching and matching against biometric datasets. SPAn is compliant with privacy policies in most countries and jurisdictions, including Canada, USA, UK, Australia, member countries of the European Union, and New Zealand.
Attain Insight is a member of the Biometrics Institute, supporting the responsible, ethical, and privacy-preserving use of biometric technologies worldwide.
