Persona ID Verification & Surveillance

Would YOU trust Persona with YOUR personal information?

Persona is sketchy as hell as a business. It's run out of a coworking space in a sketchy SF neighborhood (Mission and 6th St., if you know), and there's literally zero information about the team or it's board on their website.

Ironic that a company dedicated to collecting highly sensitive personal information ostensibly for "know your customer" purposes doesn't have any interest in itself disclosing the people behind the company.

Maybe it's there, but not easy to find. "About Us" section has zero info, just some nice puffy language about the company's goals and such. Read the myriad "privacy" policies and disclosures and you will know exactly NOTHING about limitations and how data is kept.

There again, just lots of puffery, circular language and plentiful "might" and "can include" and "primarily" language that ultimately says nothing capable of reliance. Oh, and the "what we disclose" section might as well say "we will do with your data what we choose" because the description covers such a wide range of "instances".

HARD NO for me.
