Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Age Challenge ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website and AI-powered age detection service at agechecker.app.

By accessing or using Age Challenge, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account Information: Name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), and other details you provide when registering or updating your profile.
• Billing Information: Limited payment-related information handled via our payment providers (such as Stripe), including billing address and transaction identifiers. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
• Photos You Upload: Images you submit for age analysis. These photos are processed by our AI systems to detect apparent age. We store processed results temporarily to display challenge comparisons.
• Age Challenge Data: When you create or participate in age challenges, we store the detected age, challenge links, and comparison results.
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with Age Challenge, such as pages visited, features used, challenges created, and time spent in different parts of the product.
• Device and Log Information: Technical details about the device and connection you use to access Age Challenge, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and basic log information (timestamps, request paths, error messages).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

• Providing the age detection and challenge comparison features
• Processing payments, managing subscriptions, and delivering credits
• Running AI age analysis using third-party image processing services
• Storing and displaying challenge results to you and your challenge participants
• Improving and monitoring the performance, stability, and security of Age Challenge
• Understanding feature usage so we can prioritize improvements and fix issues
• Communicating with you about updates, security notices, and support-related matters
• Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, abuse, or technical problems

We do not sell your personal information.

Photo Data and AI Processing

When you upload a photo for age detection:

• The photo is sent to our AI processing service for age analysis
• We may temporarily cache processed images to display results
• Photos uploaded for challenges are stored to enable the comparison feature
• Challenge photos are accessible via unique, private challenge links
• We do not use your photos to train AI models

You can delete your account and associated data by contacting us.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services and AI Providers

To operate Age Challenge, we rely on third-party vendors and service providers, for example:

• Cloud infrastructure and storage providers that host our application and store data
• Payment processors (such as Stripe) that handle subscription billing and payments
• AI image processing providers that analyze photos to detect apparent age
• Analytics and monitoring tools that help us understand product usage and reliability
• Customer support or communication tools used to respond to your requests

These third parties only receive the information necessary to perform their services for us and are obligated not to use it for other purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to provide Age Challenge, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

• Challenge data is retained for 30 days after the last activity
• Account data is retained until you request deletion
• Processed images may be cached temporarily for performance

If you close your account, we may retain certain information for a period of time where required or permitted by law, or for legitimate business purposes (for example, record-keeping and fraud prevention).

Your Choices

You can:

• Access and update certain account information from your profile or settings page
• Delete challenges you have created
• Adjust email preferences by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails
• Request account deletion by contacting us

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights regarding your personal data under applicable law. You can reach out to us if you wish to exercise those rights, and we will respond as required by law.
