1. PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE

This Identity Verification and Fraud Prevention Notice (“Notice”) explains how Saconde, LLC and its applicable affiliates, brands, subsidiaries, service providers, and representatives, collectively referred to as “Saconde,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” may verify identities, authenticate transactions, detect and prevent fraud, protect users and property, comply with applicable laws, and maintain the security and integrity of our services.

This Notice applies when you access, visit, or use:

Saconde deals in luxury goods and other potentially high-value merchandise. Identity verification and fraud-prevention measures are therefore important to protect customers, sellers, consignors, employees, payment providers, shipping partners, property owners, law-enforcement interests, and Saconde from identity theft, account takeover, counterfeit goods, payment fraud, stolen property, unauthorized transactions, chargebacks, money laundering, sanctions violations, shipment diversion, and other unlawful or abusive activity.

This Notice supplements, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Buyer Terms, Seller Terms, Consignment Terms, Payment and Payout Terms, Biometric Login Notice and Consent, Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy, Cookie Policy, and other applicable disclosures and agreements.

2. WHEN WE MAY VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY

We may request or perform identity verification before, during, or after an interaction or transaction, including when you:

We may repeat identity verification when information changes, when a transaction presents elevated risk, when verification results are inconclusive, or when reasonably necessary to protect users, merchandise, funds, systems, or legal rights.

3. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT OR USE

Depending on the transaction, risk level, service used, and applicable law, we may collect, receive, generate, compare, or use the following categories of information.

3.1 Basic Identification Information

This may include:

3.2 Government-Issued Identification

We may request or review:

We may request images of the front and back of an identification document. We may also ask you to present the original document in person.

You should not send identification documents through an unapproved communication channel unless instructed to do so by an authorized Saconde representative.

3.3 Selfie, Photograph, Video, or Liveness Information

We may request:

Where a process involves facial geometry, face templates, voiceprints, fingerprints, eye scans, or other information legally treated as biometric information or a biometric identifier, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable biometric privacy law and our separate Biometric Login Notice and Consent and Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy.

We will request legally required notice or consent before collecting or using biometric information when applicable.

3.4 Financial and Payment Verification Information

We may collect or verify:

Complete payment-card information may be collected and processed directly by our payment processors rather than stored by Saconde.

3.5 Transaction and Merchandise Information

We may use:

3.6 Device, Network, and Online Activity Information

When you use our website or mobile applications, we or our service providers may collect or generate:

Our use of cookies, SDKs, pixels, and similar technologies is further described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

3.7 Communications and Customer-Service Information

We may review and use:

3.8 Physical-Security and In-Store Information

At our retail, showroom, office, or other physical locations, we may use:

Where facial recognition, facial geometry, or another biometric-identification technology is used, Saconde will provide any notice, signage, consent, and additional disclosures required by applicable law.

3.9 Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from:

We do not obtain a consumer report for a purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act unless we have a legally permissible purpose and provide any legally required notices.

4. HOW WE VERIFY IDENTITY

Depending on the circumstances, we may use one or more of the following methods:

We may use automated tools to identify inconsistencies, assign risk indicators, detect suspicious patterns, or recommend additional review. Automated tools may be used together with human review.

Unless permitted by applicable law, we do not rely solely on automated processing to make a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect concerning an individual.

5. FRAUD AND SECURITY RISKS WE MAY EVALUATE

We may evaluate whether activity presents signs of:

A risk indicator does not necessarily mean that fraud has occurred. We may seek additional information, conduct manual review, or take precautionary action while an issue is investigated.

6. PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE USE VERIFICATION AND FRAUD-PREVENTION INFORMATION

We may use the information described in this Notice to:

7. LEGAL BASES AND NECESSITY OF PROCESSING

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, we may process identity-verification and fraud-prevention information because:

Where applicable law requires consent, separate notice, or authorization for a particular category of information or processing activity, Saconde will seek that consent or authorization before engaging in the activity.

8. AUTOMATED FRAUD DETECTION AND HUMAN REVIEW

Saconde and its service providers may use rules, models, algorithms, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or other automated systems to evaluate identity and fraud risk.

These tools may consider factors such as:

Automated systems may generate a score, flag, recommendation, or request for additional verification. A flag or score is not necessarily a determination that fraud occurred.

Where appropriate, you may request human review of a verification or fraud-related decision by contacting hello@saconde.com. We may require additional information to authenticate the request and protect the account or transaction.

Human review may not be available where prohibited by law, where disclosure would compromise security or fraud-prevention systems, or where Saconde is legally required to take a particular action.

9. ACTIONS WE MAY TAKE

If identity cannot be verified, information is inconsistent, or fraud or other unlawful activity is suspected, we may, to the extent permitted by law:

To protect users and prevent evasion, we may be unable to disclose specific fraud indicators, security methods, vendor rules, risk scores, investigative information, or the precise reason for a particular restriction.

10. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DISCLOSURES

We may disclose identity-verification and fraud-prevention information to service providers and other parties that perform services on our behalf or assist with a transaction, including:

These parties may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services, complete a transaction, comply with law, or protect legal rights. Service providers may process information under their own privacy notices where they act independently rather than solely on Saconde’s behalf.

We may also disclose information:

11. SALE, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

Saconde does not sell government-issued identification documents, identification-document images, account credentials, financial account information, biometric information, or fraud-investigation records for monetary consideration.

Saconde does not disclose such information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising unless expressly disclosed and permitted by applicable law.

Certain state privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly. Saconde’s broader data practices, including any rights to opt out of covered advertising or data disclosures, are described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Fraud-prevention disclosures to service providers, payment processors, security providers, carriers, insurers, government agencies, or other parties for verification, security, legal compliance, or transaction completion are generally not made for advertising purposes.

12. BIOMETRIC INFORMATION

Some identity-verification, login, or in-person security processes may involve information that is defined as biometric information, a biometric identifier, or biometric data under applicable law.

Biometric information may include, depending on the technology used and applicable law:

Where Saconde collects or receives biometric information:

Use of a selfie or photograph does not always result in the creation or collection of biometric information. Whether information is biometric depends on how the information is processed and the applicable legal definition.

Additional information appears in Saconde’s Biometric Login Notice and Consent and Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy.

13. SECURITY SAFEGUARDS

Saconde uses administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect identity-verification and fraud-prevention information.

Depending on the nature of the information and system, safeguards may include:

No security measure, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords, access codes, devices, and account credentials and for promptly notifying Saconde of suspected unauthorized activity.

14. DATA MINIMIZATION

Saconde seeks to collect identity-verification information that is reasonably necessary and proportionate to:

The amount and type of information requested may vary based on the value, nature, location, history, and risk of a transaction.

Where reasonably feasible, we may use verification results, tokens, masked information, or pass/fail indicators instead of retaining a complete identification document or raw verification data.

15. RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION

We retain identity-verification and fraud-prevention information only for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this Notice, including to:

Retention periods may vary based on:

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will delete, destroy, de-identify, or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices, unless continued retention is legally permitted or required.

Backup copies may remain for a limited period until overwritten or deleted through normal system processes, subject to access restrictions and applicable law.

Biometric information is retained and destroyed according to our separate Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy and applicable biometric privacy laws.

16. ACCURACY AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree to provide accurate, current, complete, and non-misleading information.

You must not:

Providing false information or attempting to evade verification may result in transaction cancellation, account suspension, withholding or recovery of funds where legally authorized, rejection of merchandise, reporting to law enforcement, or other legal action.

17. CHILDREN AND MINORS

Saconde’s services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect identity-verification information from children under 13 through our online services without legally required parental consent.

Individuals under the age of majority may not independently enter transactions, sell or consign merchandise, establish payout accounts, or submit government identification unless permitted by Saconde’s terms and applicable law and, where required, with authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

Saconde may request age or identity information when reasonably necessary to enforce age restrictions, protect minors, or comply with law.

18. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on your state of residence and whether an applicable privacy law covers Saconde or the particular processing activity, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

These rights are subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may retain or continue to process information when reasonably necessary to:

We may deny or limit a request where fulfilling it would compromise the security of an account, reveal confidential fraud-prevention methods, interfere with an investigation, create a risk of identity theft, or violate applicable law.

Additional state-specific disclosures and instructions for exercising privacy rights appear in our Privacy Policy.

19. HOW TO SUBMIT A PRIVACY OR VERIFICATION REQUEST

To submit a request concerning identity-verification or fraud-prevention information, contact:

Email: hello@saconde.com

Your request should include:

Do not email a complete Social Security number, complete payment-card number, account password, or unrequested copy of a government-issued identification document.

Before responding, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and authority. Verification may require information already associated with your account or transaction. We will use information submitted for verification only for verification, security, fraud-prevention, legal-compliance, and request-processing purposes.

Where permitted by law, you may use an authorized agent. We may require proof of the agent’s authority and may separately verify your identity.

20. APPEALS

Where applicable state law provides a right to appeal our decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by emailing hello@saconde.com with the subject line:

Privacy Request Appeal

Your appeal should explain the decision you are appealing and provide any information you believe should be reconsidered.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Where required, our response will provide information about how to contact the appropriate state attorney general or privacy regulator.

21. IDENTITY THEFT OR UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY

Contact Saconde promptly at hello@saconde.com if you believe:

We may temporarily restrict an account or transaction while investigating.

You may also report identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission through IdentityTheft.gov and report suspected fraud through ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You may wish to contact your financial institution, payment-card issuer, local law-enforcement agency, and the major consumer-reporting agencies where appropriate.

Be cautious of persons who:

Verify suspicious communications by contacting hello@saconde.com through contact information published on our official website.

23. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LEGAL REQUESTS

Saconde may preserve and disclose information when we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to:

Government and law-enforcement requests should be directed to hello@saconde.com and should include sufficient legal authority, agency contact information, and information identifying the relevant account, person, merchandise, or transaction.

Nothing in this Notice requires Saconde to provide information where disclosure is prohibited by law, legally privileged, technically infeasible, unduly burdensome, or inconsistent with the legal process provided.

24. NEW YORK CITY RETAIL AND BIOMETRIC NOTICE

Saconde’s retail/showroom location is located in New York City.

If Saconde collects, retains, converts, stores, or shares customer biometric identifier information at a New York City commercial establishment, Saconde will post the signage required by applicable New York City law near customer entrances and comply with applicable restrictions on the sale, lease, trade, sharing for value, or other profiting from biometric identifier information.

A general security camera that records ordinary video does not necessarily collect biometric identifier information. Biometric laws may apply when technology analyzes biological characteristics to identify or verify an individual.

Any biometric technology used for identity verification, customer identification, or access control will be addressed through the applicable biometric notice, consent process, signage, and retention policy.

25. CALIFORNIA NOTICE

Identity-verification information may constitute personal information or sensitive personal information under California law, including government identifiers, account credentials, financial account information, precise geolocation, message contents, and biometric information processed to identify a consumer.

Saconde does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit unless disclosed in our Privacy Policy and applicable notices.

Any rights concerning automated decision-making technology will be provided according to the effective dates, scope, and requirements of applicable California law and regulations.

The updated Notice will state a revised effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before materially different processing begins.
