Rights
This section provides additional information for individuals located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland ("you") in connection with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
Our Role.
When you use our age verification Services on a Merchant’s website, the Merchant is the business that is primarily responsible for your personal data. We act as a technology intermediary, providing the verification service on behalf of the Merchant to help them meet their legal compliance obligations.
We process your personal data on the following bases:
Your Data Protection Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. Subject to legal and contractual limitations, you may have the right to:
As we provide this service on behalf of the Merchant, we recommend that you direct any request to exercise your data protection rights to the Merchant from whose website you initiated the verification. However, you may also contact us at privacy@agechecker.net, and we will assist you as appropriate and cooperate with the relevant Merchant to address your request.
Automated Decision-Making.
Our Service involves automated processing to verify your age, which may constitute automated decision-making. You have the right to obtain human intervention upon request, to express your point of view, and to contest a decision by contacting us at privacy@agechecker.net.
International Data Transfers.
Our Services are operated in the United States. When you use our Services from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your personal data is transferred to, stored, and processed on our servers in the U.S. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By using our Services, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in the United States.
Lodging a Complaint.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe our processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.
We collect information in two ways, directly from your input into the Platform, and automatically through the Service.
We may collect and store any personal information you enter on our website or provide to us in some other manner. This includes identifying information, such as name, address, email address, and telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information). If you contact us for support, we will keep an internal record of what support was given. From time-to-time, we may provide you with the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys. If you choose to participate, we may request certain personal information from you. Participation in these contests or surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
We collect non-personally identifiable information automatically for the primary purpose of customizing the Platform and Service, understanding how they are used, and preventing misuse.
For example, when you use access the Platform, we automatically record information from your device, its software, and your activity using the Platform. This may include, but is not limited to the date and time of your access to the Platform, your device’s internet protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, the web page visited before you came to our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, system configuration information, metadata concerning files included in the Information submitted to us, and other interactions with the Platform.
Some devices allow applications to access real-time location-based information (for example, GPS or sensor data from your device that may provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers). We do not collect such information from your mobile device at any time as of the date this policy went into effect, but may do so in the future with your consent to improve the Service. Some of the information we collect from a device, for example IP address, can sometimes be used to approximate a device’s location. Finally, some browsers share your location information (either the location registered with your account or gleaned from other geo-location methods) with sites you visit and we may obtain location information about you in this way. If you do not wish us to receive this information, please configure your browser not to share it.
We also use “cookies” to collect information and improve the Service. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your device. We may use “persistent cookies” to recognize you for future access to the Platform. We may use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Platform, to better understand how you interact with the Platform and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Platform. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of the Platform or the Services.
We may use information that we collect about you to (a) deliver the Services, and manage the Platform and our business, (b) manage your account and provide you with customer support, (c) perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our products, services, or content, or products, services or content offered by others, (d) communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you either from us or other third parties, (e) develop and display content and advertising tailored to your interests on our site and other sites, including providing our advertisements to you when you visit other sites, (f) perform ad tracking and website or mobile application analytics, (g) enforce or exercise any rights in our terms and conditions, and (h) perform functions as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
We may use financial information or payment method information to process payment for the Services you use, enroll you in the discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
In all circumstances, we may perform the functions described above directly or use a third party vendor to perform these functions on our behalf who will be obligated to use your personal information only to perform services for us and only in conformance with this privacy policy.
We do not share your personal information with others except as indicated below or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt out of having your personal information shared.
We may share information, including personal information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, ad tracking and analytics, supporting our website functionality, and supporting surveys and other features offered through the Platform. We may also share your name, contact information and credit card information with our service providers who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes and are required to use the information in conformance with this privacy policy.
When you click-through on third-party offers featured on the Platform, we may share personal information with the businesses with which we partner to offer you the applicable products or services. When you elect to engage in a particular merchant's offer or program, you authorize us to provide your email address and other information to that third party. To opt-out of cookies that may be set by third party data partners, please go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices. We may share your information with a third party application or a third-party merchant services provider or other reseller with your consent, for example when you choose to access the Platform through such an application or are provided with access to the Platform through such a third-party merchant services firm. We are not responsible for what those parties do with your information, so you should make sure you trust those third parties and that they have privacy policies acceptable to you.
Automatically collected non-personally identifiable information may be aggregated and disclosed without restriction. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of the Service with the press, in our marketing materials or with our business partners. We may collate or connect non-personally identifiable information with your personal information, in which case the resulting personally identifiable information will be treated as personal information.
We may disclose to outside parties Information you submit and other information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with applicable Law; (b) protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of us or our customers and users; (d) to protect our property rights; or (e) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations. If we provide your information to a law enforcement agency as set forth above, we will remove encryption before providing it.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any change in control or use of your Information or if either become subject to a different privacy policy. We will also notify you of choices you may have regarding the information.
If you have an account with us, you have the ability to review and update your personal information online by logging into your account and editing your account profile. More information about how to contact us is provided below. If you have an account with us, you also may close your account at any time through the Platform. After you close your account, you will not be able to sign in to the Platform or access any of your personal information. If you close your account, we may still retain (a) any non-personally identifiable information, and (b) certain personal information associated with your account, if retention is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse or enforce the Terms of Use. Information stored in routine backups may also be retained for the period those backups are retained in the ordinary course of business.
You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of the Platform and Services because that information may be required in order for you to register as a customer, purchase Services, obtain customer support, or initiate other transactions.
When you register on the Platform site, you consent to receive email messages from us. You may modify this consent later by visiting the "My Account" page associated with your account. At any time you can choose to no longer receive commercial or promotional emails from us by visiting the "My Account" page associated with your account. You also will be given the opportunity, in any commercial email that we send to you, to opt out of receiving such messages in the future. It may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request. We may send you transactional and relationship emails, such as service announcements, administrative notices, and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. Please note that changing information in your account, or otherwise opting out of receipt of promotional email communications, will only affect future activities or communications from us . If we have already provided your information to a third party (such as a service provider) before you have changed your preferences or updated your information, you may have to change you preferences directly with that third party.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Platform and Services.
We use reasonable methods, consistent with industry practices, to protect the confidentiality of your information, including administrative, physical and technical methods. Information you submit to or receive from our Service is sent using an encrypted TLS (SSL) connection.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
Our website may include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of this policy. If you submit information to any of those websites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
The Service is not directed or available to persons under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has submitted Information in violation of our policies and has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at help@agechecker.net. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with Information, we will take steps to delete that Information from our records, subject to any retention reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse or enforce the Agreement.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If this Privacy Policy is modified, we will update this page and the revision date.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our customers who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. Requests may be made only once a year and are free of charge. Under Section 1798.83, we currently do not share any personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
