UK ETA Consulting

Identification and Passport Collection Policy

At ETA UK Reg (Boardwalk Services Inc.), the collection of government-issued identification, including passports and driver’s licenses, is a strictly regulated process designed to verify user identity and ensure compliance with applicable legal standards. We require these documents solely for the purposes of identity verification (KYC), fraud prevention, and to fulfill specific service requirements such as facilitating the UK ETA processing service with gov.uk. By providing your identification, you allow us to validate the authenticity of your credentials against global databases, ensuring a secure environment for all users and preventing unauthorized use of our services.

We treat your sensitive personal documentation with the highest level of security and confidentiality. All identification files and passport data are transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and are stored using industry-standard AES-256 encryption on isolated, secure servers. Access to these documents is strictly limited to authorized personnel who have undergone rigorous privacy training and is only granted on a "need-to-know" basis. We do not sell, trade, or share your identification documents with third-party marketing agencies; sharing occurs only with verified partners necessary to complete your transaction or when legally compelled by law enforcement authorities.

Your identification documents are retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill the specific purpose for which they were collected, or as required by applicable record-keeping laws and regulations. Once the retention period expires or the verification process is complete—and legal obligations are met—your data is securely purged from our systems using permanent deletion protocols that render the files unrecoverable. We are committed to transparency regarding your data; should you have questions regarding the specific handling or status of your identification documents, you may contact our Data Protection Officer using the Contact Us link on the website.
