PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY USING THE IPROOV HARNESS APP (“HARNESS” OR THE “APP”), YOU ARE AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH IS LEGALLY BINDING. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THEM, AND BY DOING SO, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE HARNESS APP.

When you see these capitalised words used as you read through these Terms, they have the meanings provided in this Clause 2. Any capitalised term not defined in this Clause 2 will have the meaning provided elsewhere in this Agreement:

  • App or Harness: The iProov Harness mobile application designed for internal testing, training, and debugging purposes.
  • User: An authorised employee, contractor, or affiliate of iProov who accesses or uses the Harness App.
  • Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person as defined under applicable data protection laws.
  • Session Token: A secure token generated upon login to enable persistent access without reauthentication.
  • Acceptable Use Policy: The set of rules governing permitted and prohibited activities when using the App.

How the App Works 

2.1 The Harness App is a mobile application developed by iProov to facilitate internal testing, training data collection, and debugging of biometric technologies, including fingerprint biometrics.

2.2 The App is designed to enable authorised users to install and use Harness on their personal or work-provided devices without direct supervision. This self-service model allows users to participate in biometric data collection activities remotely, including from their homes, thereby supporting broader and more scalable testing initiatives.

2.3 The App collects fingerprint data from users for internal purposes. Its functionality  is specifically adapted for the collection and analysis of fingerprint data.

2.4 Data collected through the App is processed exclusively for internal operational purposes, including the development, improvement, and evaluation of biometric models and algorithms. Data is not used for production authentication or live deployment purposes.

2.5 Authentication into the App is separate from the biometric testing functionality. Authentication is solely to verify that the user is an authorised  iProov personnel and to ensure secure access to the App’s environment.

Eligibility and Access Control 

3.1 Access to the App is strictly limited to authorised users acting on behalf of iProov who possess valid @iproov.com Google Account credentials.

3.2 Access is conditional upon successful authentication through Firebase Authentication. Upon first use, you are required to authenticate using your iProov credentials.

3.3 Following successful authentication, a secure session token will be maintained to permit continued access without repeated login, subject to periodic validation of your active session.

3.4 Harness will verify the validity of your session each time the App is opened. If your session becomes invalidated, or if your user account is deactivated or removed from iProov’s systems, your access to the App will be revoked immediately, and you will be logged out.

3.5 Local development (“debug”) builds are exempt from mandatory authentication requirements to facilitate efficient development workflows.

3.6 Upon first use, you will be presented with an HTML page containing these Terms. You must affirmatively accept these Terms to access and use the App. If you decline to accept these Terms, you will be denied access.

3.7 By accepting and continuing to use the App, you consent to these Terms and to the collection, use, and processing of your data as described herein.

4.2 You must not attempt to bypass, disable, or otherwise interfere with any authentication mechanisms, security measures, or access controls implemented in relation to the App.

4.3 If this Agreement does not specifically grant you permission to undertake an action or to use the App in a particular way, then you are expressly prohibited from doing so.

4.4 Any use of the App beyond the permissions expressly set out in this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to iProov.

User Identification and Pseudonymisation

5.1 For existing users, Harness maintains a mapping between users’ @iproov.com email addresses and their HiBob User IDs in order to support operational, debugging, and monitoring requirements.

5.2 For new users, Harness automatically generates a randomised six-character alphanumeric User ID for pseudonymisation purposes.

5.3 Although users may have the technical ability to update their User ID through the App’s interface, it is strongly advised that you do not modify your pre-assigned User ID.

5.4 In the event that you update your User ID to a value that is unlinked from your original assigned identifier, you acknowledge and accept that iProov may no longer be able to identify your data, and consequently may be unable to facilitate the exercise of your data protection rights, including rights of access, rectification, or erasure.
