External service and privacy This extension connects to Checkify (https://checkify.me) over HTTPS to connect your site and run verification sessions. It sends site domain, install public key, Pass ID, and verification session data. The site uses an HttpOnly cookie (checkify_state_id) and short-lived browser sessionStorage for QR state. Checkify may be free, trial, or paid depending on your plan. Passport images, selfies, and raw date of birth are not stored on your Joomla site.
