Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. We process everything locally in your browser.

Last updated: January 20, 2025

Privacy by Design

AgeGate is built on a foundation of privacy. Our technology processes age verification entirely within your web browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or images.

When verification is complete, we only send a simple token to the service provider indicating whether you are over 18. Nothing else leaves your device.

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how IQGP Ltd ("we", "us", or "our"), operating under the trading name AgeGate, handles information when you use our age verification services. This policy applies to all our services, including AgeGate AI, Self Verify, and future Email Age services.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) as implemented in Cyprus, and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

3. We Do Not Collect Personal Data

Unlike traditional age verification services, AgeGate does not collect, store, or process any personal data on our servers. Specifically:

  • We do not store facial images or biometric data
  • We do not collect names, addresses, or contact information
  • We do not track or profile users
  • We do not create user accounts or profiles

The only information transmitted is a verification token indicating whether the age verification was successful (over 18) or not.

4. All Processing Happens in Your Browser

Our innovative technology performs all age verification processing locally within your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. This means:

  • Camera images never leave your device
  • Age estimation happens entirely on your device
  • No server-side processing of personal data occurs
  • Once verification is complete, all temporary data is automatically deleted

Technical Note: Our AI models are compressed and optimized to run efficiently in your browser. This client-side approach ensures your privacy while delivering accurate results.

5. Cookie Policy

We use minimal cookies solely for essential functionality. We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies will require you to verify your age each time you visit a partner site.

6. Third Parties and Partner Sites

When you complete age verification:

  • We send only a verification token to the requesting site
  • This token contains no personal information
  • Partner sites have their own privacy policies
  • We do not share any data with third parties for marketing

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

Since we don't collect personal data, there is no data to access.

Right to Rectification

Not applicable as we don't store personal data.

Right to Erasure

Not applicable as we don't store personal data.

Right to Object

You can choose not to use our services at any time.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus or the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.

8. Security Measures

Although we don't store personal data, we implement robust security measures:

  • All communications use HTTPS encryption
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Secure token generation and validation
  • ISO 27001 compliant practices

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is designed to verify whether users are over 18. We do not knowingly process any data about children. If a user is determined to be under 18, the verification fails and no data is stored.

10. International Use

While IQGP Ltd is registered in Cyprus and complies with EU data protection laws, our services are available globally. Since all processing happens in your browser, your data never crosses international borders.

We maintain registrations with:

  • • Cyprus Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection
  • • UK Information Commissioner's Office (Registration: C1489334)

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice through our partner sites.
