sgID employs a zero knowledge protocol, and does not store any of your data that passes through our servers. Even in the case of a data breach, your data will never be compromised. It remains safely in your phone, in your control.

Your NRIC number is used all the time to verify yourself, but providing it to so many third parties makes you vulnerable. sgID creates a unique identifier for every business you authenticate with. This makes it harder to track you activity across businesses.

Instead of sharing your identity wholesale with your physical NRIC, sgID enables you to choose only information you wish to share with businesses. You remain in control of your data, as any unnecessary information can be deselected.

The average person could share their NRIC at least once a month - visitor registrations, lucky draw sign ups, identity verification, etc. Stay in control of your data, and keep track of when and with whom you shared your information.
