Data Protection Analyst

Yoti is a digital identity company that makes it safer for people to prove who they are or how old they are. We started in 2014 by empowering people with a free, reusable Digital ID app that minimises the data they share with businesses. We now provide verification solutions globally, spanning identity verification, age verification, facial age estimation, eSignatures and AI services. We’re committed to making the digital world safer for everyone. Our seven ethical principles guide how we do business and we’re held accountable by our Guardian Council. With a key focus on social purpose, we’re always looking for new ways to explore what (digital) identity means globally.
