1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a request to capture an image of an eye of a user facing a camera of a user device, wherein the user device is in communication with a server via an encrypted bi-directional communication link and the server is configured to anonymize data communicated thereto from the user device;
receiving, by the processor, in response to the receiving the request, an authorization to activate the camera of the user device;
detecting a type of the user device as one of a portable user device or a non-portable user device;
determining a zoom level of the camera based on a pre-set zoom level corresponding to the type of the user device, wherein the pre-set zoom level corresponding to the non-portable user device is greater than the pre-set zoom level corresponding to the portable user device;
capturing, via the camera, the image of the eye of the user using the determined zoom level for the camera; and
transmitting, via the user device, the data including the captured image of the eye to the server via the encrypted bi-directional communication link.
