Privacy Policy

  1. ABOUT US
  2. What is AgePass?
    AgePass is an anonymous online age-verification consumer product built using zero knowledge proof and blockchain technologies. Our blockchain is a private blockchain that acts as the repository of encrypted credentials that represent age-verified consumers.
    AgePass requests you perform an age-authentication check with trusted third-parties (through a choice of options – see below) and once validated, our software allows you, using your browser, to create an anonymous ‘root’ access AgePass that is able to generate one-time use proof-of-age tokens when you visit websites that require you to prove your age. By giving users the ability to generate their own ‘valid’ one-time use proof-of-age tokens, our customers can be confident that neither we, nor any of the websites that use our technology, nor our partners, are able to track their activity using our technology.
    Bottom line:
    we do not collect your information (unless you give up your anonymity and contact us directly – see below) and we have no way of tracking information about how, where and when, you use your AgePass verification credentials.
    Neither the Websites, the App nor our services are intended for anyone under eighteen (18) and we do not knowingly collect any data relating to individuals under eighteen (18).

      App
      ), together the

  3. DATA WE COLLECT AND DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT
  4. What we do not collect
    We do not collect any personal information about you when you use AgePass.
    As explained above, where we use a third party to help verify your age the only information we receive from the third party is a “pass/fail” based on whether you are eighteen (18) years or older. We do not receive, nor have any right to receive, any other information about you from these third parties which you may have provided to them during the age verification process. Once we have received confirmation that a user is eighteen (18) years or older, the user’s browser generates a unique AgePass age credential from Access Key and user-chosen PIN +SALT. We know the AgePass anonymous age credentials that are valid, but we do not know the user Access Key or PIN. We also do not know, and have no means of knowing, the identity of the person who uses an AgePass or their Access Key or PIN.
    Our Platforms do not collect any personal information about you.
    Specifically:
    • IP information
      : When accessing any website, your web browser automatically sends your Internet Protocol (IP) address. While most companies log or store this information, we take affirmative steps to not retain any user IP information.
    • User agent information
      : When accessing any website, your web browser also sends “user agent” information detailing the type of software initiating the request. We do not retain or use any user agent information.
    • Browser fingerprinting
      : We do not use any browser fingerprinting that can identify a single user. We do utilise client-side encrypted ‘group’ browser generated fingerprinting data to help manage security and fraud risks on our platform by getting client’s browsers to re-authenticate their credentials periodically.
    • Cookies
      : Our Platforms do not use cookies or store information associated with cookies
    • Web beacons
      : Our Platforms do not use web beacons and we do not store any information associated with web beacons.
    • Analytics information
      : Our Platforms do not use or store information about its users for purposes of analyzing their online activity.
    What we do collect
    We only collect the anonymised encrypted age-verification credentials after a successful age verification check. This credential identifies the age verification provider but NOT the individual who was verified; this cannot personally identify user.
    If you choose to give up your anonymity by contacting us directly and providing us with your details, we collect your personal information to deal with your query.
    We have designed our age verification service to safeguard the privacy and anonymity of users of AgePass. However, if you choose to contact us and lose your anonymity, we collect the information you actively submit to us (for example via use of our customer contact form or via offline communications such as post).
    We collect and use aggregated (non-identifiable) usage data about the Platforms
    for example, to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform feature, but this is not personally identifiable.
  5. OUR THIRD PARTY PARTNERS
  6. As explained above, AgePass requests you perform an age-authentication check with trusted third-parties. Accordingly, the Platform links to third-party websites and applications. These third parties verify your age directly and, if successful, we will issue an AgePass. The third party involved depends on the age verification method you select through our Platforms.
    Where we use a third party to help verify your age the only information we receive from the third party is a “pass/fail” based on whether you are eighteen (18) years or older. We cannot access and have no right to access any other information about you from these third parties.
    Our Third Party Partners by Age Verification Method
    We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements and practices. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies and statements of the above third parties before selecting your age verification method.
  7. USING INFORMATION
  8. We process any information you choose to provide us with as necessary to respond to your query. Our legal grounds are the performance of our contract with you and our legitimate interests, as indicated above. We will also process information where required to do so by law or to comply with a legal obligation.
  9. SHARING INFORMATION
  10. If you provide us with your personal information, we may share it within our group of companies, including AV_Card LLC, to the extent necessary to deal with the matter.
    Our servers are hosted on Amazon Web Services in the UK. We also use other service providers who provide IT and system administration services. We may use professional advisors (e.g. lawyers, accountants, auditors etc.) and we may share information with regulators or other governmental or legal authorities where required.
    If we sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets, we share information with the purchaser of that business/those assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use any information in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.
  11. SHARING INFORMATION
  12. If you provide us with your personal information, we will only retain it for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your query and satisfy any legal or reporting requirements. We may retain your information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
  13. TRANSFERRING INFORMATION
  14. If you provide us with your personal information, we may share it with our personnel in the United States and within our group of companies, including AV_Card LLC, to the extent necessary to deal with the matter. We are certified to the Privacy Shield, which gives personal information the same protection it has in Europe. Please see below.
    To the extent our service providers are based outside the EEA and receive personal information, we ensure the transfer is either (a) to a country deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission, (b) pursuant to specific contracts approved by the European Commission, or (c) for transfers to the US, pursuant to that third party’s certification to the Privacy Shield.

  15. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
  16. You are always entitled to exercise your legal rights. However, please note that due to the nature of AgePass, the anonymity it provides, and the fact that we do not collect your personal information, the information you disclose to us if you contact us directly will almost always be only information which we have about you.

    • Request access to your personal information.
