Optic?ID & Privacy

Optic?ID is designed to protect your information.


Optic?ID Authenticates You Using Infrared Cameras

Optic?ID can be used to unlock your Apple?Vision?Pro. Using infrared cameras, Optic?ID determines whether the person wearing Apple?Vision?Pro is the enrolled user. Other uses of Optic?ID include making payments with Apple?Pay, making purchases within the App?Store, and authenticating within apps.

Optic?ID data — including mathematical representations of your iris — are encrypted and protected with a key available only to the Secure Enclave. This data will be refined and updated as you use Optic?ID to improve your experience, including when you successfully authenticate.

Optic?ID data does not leave your device and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else.

You Have Control Over Optic?ID

If you choose to enrol in Optic?ID, you can control how it is used or disable it at any time. For example, if you don’t want to use Optic?ID to unlock your Apple?Vision?Pro, go to Settings > Optic?ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then tap to turn off Vision?Pro Unlock. To disable Optic?ID, go to Settings > Optic?ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then tap Reset Optic?ID. Doing so will delete Optic?ID data, including mathematical representations of your iris, from your device. If you choose to erase or reset your device, all Optic?ID data will be deleted.

Optic?ID and Apps

Within supported apps, you can authenticate using Optic?ID. Apps are notified only as to whether the authentication is successful. Apps can’t access Optic?ID data.

Continuous Authentication

Once you have authenticated using Optic?ID, you will remain authenticated until you remove the device, so you can take actions such as using Apple?Pay without reauthenticating.

At all times, information collected by Apple will be treated in accordance with Apple?s Privacy?Policy, which can be found at www.05589.cn/au/privacy
