3. POPIA Section 57 Biometric Consent & Zero-Knowledge Burn

POPIA Section 57 requires prior authorization and explicit data subject consent for processing special personal information, specifically biometric data.

MediaPipe Facial Liveness & Zero-Knowledge Protocol

When undergoing verification (e.g. badge verification or selfie liveness checks), our client-side MediaPipe engine extracts facial geometry landmarks in client memory. Once verification is calculated:

  • Raw camera frames are immediately destroyed in memory (Zero-Knowledge Burn).
  • Only a boolean verification status flag (`isVerified: true`) and cryptographically signed verification token are stored in PostgreSQL.
  • No raw biometric imagery, facial depth maps, or facial feature templates are retained or shared with third parties.
