I might be cooked for letting these guys have my personal info, PLEASE DON'T EVER DO THE VERIFICATION, YOU MIGHT GET LEAKED!

Honestly f the whole staff and existence of persona,its unfortunate the real rating for persona,0 stars, does not exist.It pains me to even put a single star on this dog excretion of a service. This service is greatly frustrating, from dropping pixel quality and unnecessary redo's,

They need your ID and leak it... I don't trust this company since they leaked Roblox and Discord ID people to/or selling it or something but I don't trust this company anymore don't give your ID to someone company you don't know how safe they are. Thank you.

I had a very frustrating experience with Persona while trying to verify my LinkedIn account. The verification process is unreliable and poorly designed.

I tried multiple times using a high-quality phone and a stable internet connection, but the system kept failing to capture my information properly. Even when attempting to upload my ID manually, the platform repeatedly showed an error message saying the attachment couldn't be uploaded.

For a company that handles identity verification, this level of technical instability is unacceptable. The system feels buggy, inconsistent, and not user-friendly at all.

What makes it worse is the lack of clear guidance or proper support when something goes wrong. Users are left stuck in a loop with no practical solution.

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. A verification platform should make identity confirmation easier and more reliable, not create unnecessary frustration for users.

Didnt do shit for me i took 6 pictures of my id whit difrent lightings and even phones and nothing worked and i didnt get any emails about it

Got me suspended from a freelancing gig because they were "unable to verify my identity" despite taking clear pictures of my ID in a well lit room

Very poor system and its sad that companies use you guys when there are WAY better alternatives out there.

Linkedin now use this co to verify ID's.
Unfortunately withpersona's app based process is useless and can't match your face to any official documents. Now can't log into LinkedIn

I was asked to verify my Linked in with this app that i never heard before. Not approved by official authorities and no idea where this info is going. This is a scam app for collecting personal data from id documents hiding behind the curtain of a large social media platform.

Recently exposed for saving your face id and sending it to the us government to monitor.

I regret giving my id to these jerks!

Im prob gonna be a victim of identity fraud because of these guys, I want them to be sued over this

Super simple process. Picture of passport and selfie. Took longer to get up and get my passport than to finish the process. The company requesting identity verification showed pending review and completed their part of the process in about 10 hours.

I tried several times to let a camera scan my drivers license, but it never worked!
Also I just wanted to upload & sell my art on etsy.com - and I really dont find it accebtable that they want
- CPR,
- CVR,
- birthday
- face scan
- passport / drivers license
- facial recognition scan
ALL that just for upload MY artwork to a portal for selling MY artwork!

It puts me and all others into HUGE security risk when ALL vital and highly personal data is kept into the same website and database! And even a thirdparty!
Even CPR and PayPal has been hacked!
So this Persona.com must be every HACKERS PARADISE!

Incompetence at it's best. This service never works

I was asked to verify my identity via WithPersona for an important account, but the verification kept failing and now I’m locked out of the service with no resolution. Support just redirects to generic guides and doesn’t fix anything.

I've tried to verify my identity for both OLG and Wealth Simple -- My own identity cards for OLG had been rejected last time I tried -- and this time for Wealth Simple the software has been unresponsive / buggy -- I am against digital I.D. verification because an over-cautious A.I. can destroy your livelihood --

Persona, is leaking consumers data of kids thats young, chatgpt can store your face in there model (Sora 2) sometimes and persona is making ram expensive. Persona Registered as an company on this date {02 November 2023} as ico says, when its clearly leaking data rick song is an bad person, we dont mind stuff like that but, please remove your service :D

[ENGLISH]
short summary:
Persona ("withpersona") is a US company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It is an established provider of identity and age verification services used by large companies and ranked as a leader in industry analyses (Gartner, Forrester). Nevertheless, there are significant data protection risks for German users because biometric data is transferred to the US.

Legal domicile of Persona
According to publicly available company data:
- Persona Identities, Inc.
- Headquarters: San Francisco, California, US
- Additional company address in San Jose, California
This means that Persona is subject to US law, in particular the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) – but not the GDPR, except through contractual assurances.

🔐 How trustworthy is Persona?
✔️ Positive indicators
- Established company (founded in 2018) with strong growth and over $400 million in funding.
- Used by major tech companies (e.g. OpenAI, Coursera, Instacart, Twilio).
- Leading ratings in Gartner and Forrester for identity verification solutions.
- Specialises in fraud prevention, including detection of deepfakes and biometric spoofs.
⚠️ Risks & critical points
The following points are particularly important for you as a user in Germany (Hamburg):
- Biometric data is transferred to the USA.
→ According to EU law, the USA is considered an unsafe third country (no full level of data protection as in the EU).
- You have little control over how long biometric data is stored and who can access it.
- Access by US authorities is legally possible (Patriot Act / CLOUD Act).
- You are dependent on the data protection agreement that the service provider (not Persona itself) has concluded with Persona.

- Du bist abhängig vom Datenschutzvertrag, den der Dienstanbieter (nicht Persona selbst) mit Persona geschlossen hat.

Only an uniformed, lazy, and incompetent company would choose Persona for identification verification. It fails to do the one task that it exists for, verification. Since the WEF is taking over the world and driving everyone to Digital ID I understand the companies are forced to choose a verification platform, but this is not the one for you. If you are looking at Persona, RUN!
