X, formerly known as Twitter, will collect biometric data on its users, such as a photograph of their face, in an update to its privacy policy.
People signed up to its subscription service, X Premium, can choose to provide a selfie and photo ID for verification.
The policy also states X may collect employment and educational history.

There has been speculation that X may want to offer recruitment services.
In May, X Corp acquired a tech recruiting service called Laskie, according to reports. It was the first take over of a company since Elon Musk bought Twitter, as it was then known, last year for $44bn (£34.7bn)
The new privacy policy will come into force 29 September.
It states: “We may collect and use your personal information (such as your employment history, educational history, employment preferences, skills and abilities, job search activity and engagement, and so on) to recommend potential jobs for you, to share with potential employers when you apply for a job, to enable employers to find potential candidates, and to show you more relevant advertising.”
Liberty Vittert, professor of the practice of data science at Washington University in St Louis, said the move is in line with X’s attempt to establish “more targeted and individual experiences for users” and rival platforms such as LinkedIn.
