Biometric Information

We employ third-party service providers to help verify your identity and age and to check background records and the authenticity of identification documents you provide using facial recognition technology. The facial recognition technology creates a mathematical representation of your face and detects facial features from the live scan of your face, your selfie, and the government-issued ID you submit or previously submitted to Us. This mathematical representation, which is considered biometric information/identifier/data under the laws of certain states and countries, is not shared by Our service providers with Us, and is deleted by Our service providers 7 days after its creation. Information derived from this mathematical representation, which may be considered biometric information/identifier/data under the laws of certain states and countries, is shared by Our service providers with Us as further described below.

We may disclose your biometric information, face scan, selfie, and government-issued ID (including any government-issued ID or selfie you previously submitted to Us) with members of Our corporate group, and with third-party service providers. These entities may be located in jurisdictions that do not offer the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. We (and/or any of these entities) may perform facial recognition and Process your biometric information from your face scan, selfie, and any government-issued ID for the above purposes.

Biometric information shared by Our service providers with Us will be stored for as long as you have an account. We will delete your biometric information within three (3) years of you deleting your account or withdrawing your consent, subject to any legal obligations We might have.

You will be asked to provide your consent to biometric Processing. You may withdraw your consent to this Processing at any time by using the links below. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any Processing or disclosure that occurred prior to the withdrawal.

Please note that this section titled "Biometric Information" applies to relevant Users who wish to upload content onto Our Website but does not apply to identifiers Processed by Our third-party age verification service providers solely for the purpose of granting you access to Our Website in order to view the Content found thereon.
