## Data Collection Purposes in Veriff Mobile SDKs

Veriff, by the nature of the product, works with lot of personal data. In order to increase the data points around personal data to make more accurate decisions and eliminate the bad actors, we also collect some device data for identifying fraudulent attempts. Google and Apple require you to declare the details that are collected to inform the end-user better.

## Storing verification media on your side

For businesses which are regulated by various KYC and AML laws and rules, storing proof of the end-user's verification is often a requirement. While Veriff stores and holds the end-user's media (photos and videos), it might also be **mandatory and more convenient for the you to store this media internally.**

### **Downloading the photo and video files**

1. You need to get the `sessionId` of a session you want to download the media for
  1. This can be found from the [decision webhook](/v1/docs/decision-webhook) (`verification.id` parameter), which is automatically sent after a decision has been made for a verification session
2. With the `sessionId`, make a request to [GET /sessions/{sessionId}/media](https://veriff-dev-documentation.document360.io/apidocs/v1sessionsidmedia-2)[↗] endpoint
3. From there, you will find a `mediaId` for every media file we have stored
4. With the `mediaId`-s, you can make a request to [GET /media/{mediaId}](https://veriff-dev-documentation.document360.io/apidocs/v1mediaid-1)[↗] endpoint to get the media file in `.jpeg` or `.mp4` format.

> [!NOTE]
> A separate request will have to be made for each media file
