Here’s the information directly from the FAQ as of right now:
Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?
A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.
So, I looked at age verification - it was made clear photos were on device only and never transmitted.
If this turns out to be false, then the legal fallout would be apocalyptic.

That sounds like the video stays on your device but the photos do not.
Big company lies again what a big surprise
Yeah, but those methods of verification weren’t the subject of this breach, this was some manual bullshit done through Zendesk.
Where is that small print? It should be archived before Discord tries to change it.
