courtme.ai: Biometric Data Notice & Consent

Effective Date: 2026-07-13 Last Updated: 2026-07-07 Entity: courtme.ai, Inc. (Delaware C-Corporation; principal place of business: Austin, TX) Contact: privacy@courtme.ai


1. What this notice covers

To keep courtme safe and confirm that people are who they say they are, we verify your identity by comparing a selfie you take to the photo on the government ID you submit. To do this, our identity-verification provider generates a mathematical representation of your facial geometry (a "face template") and compares the two images to produce a match / no-match result.

This face template is a "biometric identifier" (a scan of face geometry). This notice explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and how we destroy it - and asks for your consent before we begin.

We do not use face recognition to identify you in photos generally, to tag you, to build a face database, to track you, or to serve advertising.

2. What we collect

  • A face template (facial geometry) derived from your verification selfie.
  • A face template or comparison data derived from your government-ID photo, for the sole purpose of the one-to-one comparison.
  • The result of the comparison (match / no-match / verification status).

3. Why we collect it (purpose)

Solely to:

  • Verify you are a real, unique person and are 18 or older;
  • Deter fake profiles, impersonation, and ban evasion; and
  • Support safety and fraud prevention.

We do not use your biometric data for any other purpose, and we never use it to train, evaluate, or improve any AI model.

4. Who processes and receives it

  • Amazon Web Services - Amazon Rekognition performs the face comparison as our service provider (subprocessor), under contract, solely for the purpose above.
  • Stripe (Stripe Identity) may perform or support government-ID verification.
  • We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from your biometric data, and we do not disclose it except: (a) to the providers above to perform verification; (b) with your consent; or (c) as required by law or valid legal process.

5. Retention and destruction schedule

  • We do not persist the face template. Face templates are used transiently to produce the match result and are destroyed immediately after the verification decision is returned.
  • We retain only the verification result/status (e.g., "verified," "18+ confirmed"), not the underlying biometric template.
  • In all cases, any biometric identifier or biometric information is permanently destroyed no later than the earlier of (a) the date the purpose for collection is satisfied, or (b) one (1) year after your last interaction with courtme - consistent with BIPA's destruction-schedule requirement.
  • Our service providers are contractually required to destroy biometric data on the same or a shorter schedule.

6. Your consent

Before we capture or generate any biometric data, we ask you to review this notice and provide your affirmative, written consent (an electronic "I agree," which is a valid written release). You are not required to consent - but because identity verification is required to use courtme, if you do not consent you will not be able to complete verification or use the service.

You may withdraw consent for future biometric processing by emailing privacy@courtme.ai. Withdrawal does not affect verification already completed, and may require you to re-verify or may end your ability to use courtme.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, or restrict biometric and other personal data. See our Privacy Policy Sections 7–9. Illinois and Texas residents have specific protections under BIPA and CUBI; contact privacy@courtme.ai to exercise them.

8. Consent statement (shown at the verification step)

Biometric consent. To verify your identity, courtme and its provider (Amazon Rekognition) will scan your face geometry from your selfie and government ID, compare them, and then immediately delete the facial scans, keeping only the verification result. courtme will never use this data to train AI, sell it, or use it for anything other than verifying your identity and age. Biometric data is destroyed at the latest within one year. You can read the full [Biometric Data Notice] and our [Privacy Policy].

☐ I have read the Biometric Data Notice and consent to courtme collecting and using my facial-geometry data as described.
