Biometric Data Consent and Policy (BDCP)

1. What is the significance of this consent?

Certain laws require us to provide you notice and obtain your consent to use your Biometric Data. This means that you have agreed that we can collect, use and disclose your Biometric Data as described in this Consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at contact@clapperapp.com. If you withdraw consent, we will not analyze your uploaded media for these purposes, and we may instead ask you to verify your age or identity by another method, or may be unable to continue providing the Services to you. Withdrawal does not affect anything done before you withdrew.

Biometric Data is a form of information related to your biometric characteristics which may be used to identify you. Common examples include fingerprints, voiceprints, scans of a hand, facial geometry recognition, and iris or retina recognition. There are various state laws that define Biometric Data including "biometric identifiers" and "biometric information" as defined under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, "biometric identifiers" under the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, "biometric identifiers" under the Washington Biometric Information Law, and "biometric information" under the California Consumer Privacy Act. We will apply the definition and comply with the requirements of the applicable state law in which you are resident.
For purposes of this Consent, the term Biometric Data includes the information we describe in Section 4 below.

Where we have reason to believe that a user may not meet our minimum age requirement, and in connection with account reviews, we may use automated technology to analyze uploaded media, in order to estimate their age or to verify their identity. That analysis may involve a scan of facial geometry, which some state laws treat as Biometric Data.

We use your Biometric Data as follows:
1. To estimate age and confirm that a user meets our minimum age requirement;
2. To verify a user’s identity in connection with an account review;
3. To comply with legal obligations or comply with a request from law enforcement or government entities where not prohibited by law.

We do not disclose your Biometric Data, except to any service provider that performs the analysis on our behalf under contract, and as required by law or in response to valid legal process.

No, we do not sell, lease, or trade your Biometric Data to any third parties or derive any profit from the sale, lease, or trade of your Biometric Data.

We permanently destroy the facial geometry generated by any such analysis within 24 hours of the analysis being completed. In any event, we permanently destroy Biometric Data when the initial purpose for collecting it has been satisfied, or within three years of your last interaction with Clapper, whichever occurs first. You may also request deletion of your Biometric Data at any time by contacting us at contact@clapperapp.com, and we will act on that request promptly.

Yes, you can submit a request to access, correct, or delete your Biometric Data by contacting us at contact@clapperapp.com. We will respond to the request promptly within the time frame and in the form required by applicable law.

Clapper will store your Biometric Data safely and securely in accordance with applicable law. Clapper uses a reasonable care standard in accordance with industry standards to protect your Biometric Data against unauthorized access, accidental change or deletion, and hacking attempts. For example, we encrypt Biometric Data both in transit and at rest when being used in connection with the Services. Further, when working with Biometric Data, Clapper employees are instructed: (i) to ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended for any period of time; (ii) that Biometric Data should never be shared informally; (iii) Biometric Data should not be sent by email; and (iv) Biometric Data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically.

We reserve the right to change or modify this Biometric Consent at any time. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page. Such changes are binding on you if you continue to use the Service after such notice is provided, except if you are resident in a state that requires you to affirmatively agree to the changes, in which case we will provide you the opportunity to do so before the changes take effect.

No. Beauty effects are processed locally on your device, are not transmitted to Clapper or any third party, and are not retained. That processing is described in our Privacy Policy and is not subject to this Consent.
