How is my Photo Verification Information used?

"Photo Verification" is an optional process, and your facial information will be retained after the initial verification so that we can continue to provide you with the "Photo Verification" service when you change and update your profile photos in the future. Therefore, facial data will be retained during the validity of your account and will be deleted from our system within 30 days after the account is closed, or automatically deleted after your account has been inactive for 2 years.
In order to complete "photo verification", we will store and use your facial data and screenshots in Amazon Web Services (AWS) programs. This information and screenshots will be deleted from AWS programs within the timeframe described in "What information is retained after verification is complete?" below.

What is Verification?

When you verify, you can prove that the photo on your profile is you. After successful verification, verification information will appear on your file to show others that you have completed "photo verification."

Photo verification is a great way to help prove to potential matches that you are who you are in the photos. In order to ensure that users are not misled or confused as to whether the match has passed "Photo Verification", users are not allowed to retain the match after deleting their facial data (thereby deactivating "Photo Verification"), but must use the normal, unverified account is restarted. This requirement is to prevent abuse of the Photo Verification Stamp and ensure that other users can be sure that the match actually has a Photo Verification account.
