14. Age Verification

In order to protect minors and comply with legal obligations applicable to access to adult content, Hinatou uses the AgeGO age verification service.

Where age verification is required, the user is redirected to, or uses, AgeGO's secure interface to confirm that they have reached the required minimum age.

Depending on the verification method selected, age verification may be performed using facial age estimation, an identity document, a payment card or a digital identity.

The data required for this verification is processed by AgeGO and/or its verification providers. Hinatou does not have access to the photographs, identity documents, payment card details or other data used to verify the user's age.

Hinatou only receives the technical information required to determine whether the age verification has been successfully completed and to retain proof that an age verification check has taken place.

According to AgeGO, identity documents, facial images and payment card data used during the verification process are not permanently retained. Such data is deleted once the verification process has been completed, in accordance with the policies applicable to the service and its providers.

When the verification is successful, Hinatou may retain the user's verification status, the date of verification and a technical identifier or verification token in order to avoid unnecessary repeat verifications and to demonstrate that an age verification check has been carried out.

This information is used exclusively to:

For more information about the processing carried out directly by AgeGO, please refer to AgeGO's Privacy Policy available on its official website.
