Solutions/Data privacy compliance

Onboard customers without collecting the data that creates liability

T3 Identity issues privacy-preserving credentials at onboarding, with no PII stored, no data residency exposure, and no breach surface to manage.

The problem

Your compliance program is growing the estate it's supposed to protect

Every new customer relationship adds another record. GDPR, CCPA, and their equivalents attach liability to holding personal data at all, not just to mishandling it.

Holding PII is the risk, not just mishandling it

The prevailing assumption is that data risk is about security practices. But the liability begins the moment data is collected. Every record held is a potential breach, a data subject request, a residency obligation.

Right-to-erasure is expensive when data is everywhere

When a customer requests erasure under GDPR, the response requires finding every copy of their data across every system it touched. Organizations that minimized collection at onboarding have shorter, cheaper, more defensible responses.

Data residency requirements multiply with scale

As organizations expand into new jurisdictions, each new market adds rules about where customer data can be held. Reducing what's collected at onboarding reduces what needs to be localized.

The solution

Remove liabilities from your data estate

Zero-PII onboarding: verified without storing

T3 Identity converts identity verification into a credential held by the customer. No PII is retained in T3's infrastructure after issuance. The organization completes the verification; the customer holds the record.

Right-to-erasure without the complexity

When a customer requests erasure, there is no T3-held record to find, scope, and delete. The credential lives with the credential subject. Erasure requests resolve at the architecture level rather than through a data deletion workflow.

No data residency requirements to navigate

T3 holds no customer data, so there is no T3-held PII subject to residency requirements. Cross-border operations that previously required data localization strategies are straightforward because there is nothing to localize.

Minimal breach surface by design

The most effective way to avoid a personal data breach is to not hold the data. T3's zero-storage architecture reduces the PII an organization holds at onboarding to the minimum necessary, in many cases to zero.

Features

The tools that power zero-PII onboarding

T3 Identity handles credential issuance, pseudonymous recognition, and lifecycle management, with no underlying PII retained.

The verification happens, but nothing is stored

T3 Identity converts identity checks into W3C Verifiable Credentials held by the customer. T3 stores no PII after issuance. GDPR data subject rights — access, erasure, portability — resolve at the architecture level because there is no T3-held record to produce.

Built on open standards

Zero-data identity infrastructure

GDPR-compliant by architecture

T3 holds no PII. Data subject access requests, right-to-erasure obligations, and data residency requirements resolve at the infrastructure level. There is no T3-held record to produce or delete in response.

W3C Verifiable Credentials

Credentials follow the W3C VC data model. Any accepting system running OpenID for VCs can verify them with no proprietary network membership or bilateral data-sharing agreement required.

Quantum-resistant signing

Credentials are signed using FIPS 204 post-quantum cryptography. Identity credentials remain cryptographically valid against future threats, including attacks targeting compliance records.

For developers

Integrate zero-PII credential issuance into your onboarding stack

T3 wraps your existing KYC provider. Issue credentials from checks you already run — your onboarding flow stays unchanged, your PII exposure doesn't.

Security & compliance

Identity verification happens through KYC providers or existing onboarding flows. T3's role is to convert the verified output into a portable credential. After issuance, T3 holds only the public cryptographic parameters needed to verify the credential. The underlying PII is not retained.
Because T3 holds no PII, there is no T3-held record to produce in response to a Subject Access Request. The credential lives with the credential subject. Organizations that adopt T3's architecture eliminate the T3-related component of their SAR response workflow entirely.
Yes. T3 integrates via standard APIs and is compatible with major KYC providers and identity platforms. Integration does not require replacing existing onboarding flows. T3 sits as a credential issuance layer on top of your current verification stack.
Because T3 holds no PII, data residency requirements don't apply to T3's infrastructure. Organizations operating in multiple jurisdictions — EU, Singapore, UAE, US — with different residency rules do not need to maintain separate T3 infrastructure per jurisdiction.
