<p>One of those vendors will collect biometric information from you, such as measurements of your facial geometry. To that end, the vendor asks you to upload a selfie and a picture of your governmental identification. Then, it will extract facial measurements from those uploaded photographs. From there, it will compare the facial measurements of your selfie with those of your photograph on your governmental identification. This will help it determine whether those measurements sufficiently match. To prevent fraud, the vendor will also process your photographs to detect whether the person pictured in the selfie is likely alive.</p>
