About This Opt-Out Process
Opting out of Onfido's data collection requires following a medium-level process that typically takes 15-20 minutes. The process may involve navigating privacy settings, submitting formal requests, and following up to verify data deletion. Under GDPR and CCPA, companies are legally required to honor valid opt-out and deletion requests within specified timeframes (typically 30-45 days).
