This policy is for people in Washington and Nevada. Their laws treat some biometric information as “consumer health data”. It explains the consumer health data Latency LLC (“Yapp”) collects, why, who it’s shared with, and how to use your rights.
Contents
What we collect
Biometric information made during Yapp’s age and face checks: frames of your selfie video and the face measurements calculated from them, and, for adults and Parent Portal users, the face on a photo ID. We don’t collect any other health data.
Why we collect it
Only to check your age, check that you’re a real person who is there at that moment, place you in the right age group, and check that your profile photo or ID shows you. We never use it for advertising, marketing, profiling, or to recognize you anywhere else.
Where it comes from
From you, through your device’s camera, during a check.
Who we share it with
- k-ID, our processor, which does the checks for us and may use the information only for that.
- Nobody else, except where the law requires it (for example, a valid court order).
We don’t sell consumer health data, and we don’t share it with affiliates.
How long we keep it
We delete the video, the ID images and the face measurements as soon as the check is finished, and within 10 minutes at most. A selfie you agree to provide for a human review of an appeal is deleted when the review is done, and within 30 days at most. We keep only the result of the check, which is not health data.
Your consent
We ask for your consent before we collect it. We will ask for separate consent before sharing it for any reason other than the check. We won’t.
Your rights
You can:
- ask whether we collect, share or hold your consumer health data,
- get a copy of it,
- get a list of everyone we shared it with, with their contact details,
- withdraw your consent,
- ask us to delete it.
Because we delete it within minutes, the answer will usually be that we don’t hold any. To ask, use Settings > Help and contact > Privacy in the app, or email privacy@joinyapp.app. We answer within 45 days. If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying with “Appeal” in the subject; we answer appeals within 45 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can contact the Washington or Nevada attorney general.
