| Fact | Idswyft | Stripe Identity |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Idswyft is an open-source identity verification API for developers. | Stripe Identity programmatically confirms the identity of global users to help prevent fraud while minimizing friction for legitimate customers. |
| Security and privacy | Official materials state configurable retention, GDPR and CCPA handling, HTTPS-only communication, audit logs and face-embedding removal before persistence. | Stripe stores verification data on behalf of businesses so it does not touch their systems, and supports programmatic deletion and restricted API keys. |
