Welcome to ProntoID. This Privacy Policy explains how ProntoID, a service by Brooks & Keitt Sarl ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner.
Our registered address is Place du Midi 30, 1950 Sion, Switzerland.
We collect information to provide and improve our Service. The type of information we collect depends on how you interact with us.
If you are redirected to ProntoID by a third-party platform specifically for an age verification session — for example, to confirm that you are old enough to view age-restricted content — we apply strict data minimization principles:
Privacy Guarantee: The initiating third-party platform receives only a secure confirmation flag (e.g., "Verified" or "Not Verified"). We do not return, share, or transmit your name, address, date of birth, or ID images to that platform. Upon completion of the check, all verification data is immediately deleted from our active systems.
This section applies only to age checks on people accessing content. It does not apply to the verification of people who appear in content, which exists to create a compliance record and is therefore handled differently: those records are retained rather than deleted, and more information is shared with the platform. See Section 3 and Section 7.
When you complete a KYP verification at the request of another user (the "Requester"), we apply the same data minimization and privacy principles. We do not share your raw identification documents, specific date of birth, home address, or biometric data with the Requester. By completing a KYP verification, you explicitly consent to sharing the verification status — and only the status — with the Requester.
Not everyone whose data we hold gave it to us themselves. A photographer, studio, or agency may submit your identification document and a model release relating to you, so that a platform can meet its legal obligation to show that everyone appearing in content was an adult and consented. If that describes you, this section is for you. We refer to you here as the Subject.
If you think we hold a record about you, there is a page that walks you through it. Records about you explains how to contact us, how we confirm who you are before discussing any record, what we can do, and what we are obliged to keep. If what you want is content taken down, that page also explains why you should start with the platform rather than with us.
We may hold the identification document submitted for you, the date of birth it states, your name, the model release relating to you, the verification outcome, and any contact details provided for you. We did not obtain this from you: we received it from the person who submitted it, usually the photographer or creator who produced the content.
Where the submission relates to content published on a platform, we may provide that platform with the verification outcome, audit metadata, the reference for the model release record, and a watermarked copy of the photograph taken from your identification document. The platform uses that photograph to check that the person appearing in the content is the person who was verified. The watermark is applied so the copy cannot be reused or presented as an identification document. We do not provide your identification document itself to the platform.
The person who submits documents about you is required, under our Terms and Conditions, to have told you that they would do so. Where contact details are provided for you, we may contact you directly to tell you that a record exists, to let you see it, and to offer you the opportunity to complete verification yourself.
We are not always given contact details, and for material relating to older photographic sessions any details we do hold may no longer work. Where contacting you directly is not possible, this Policy serves as the notice we would otherwise have sent you, and remains available to you at any time.
You have the same rights as anyone else whose data we hold, set out in Section 8. You do not need a ProntoID account to exercise them, and you do not need the agreement of the person who submitted the documents.
If you tell us that documents relating to you were submitted without your agreement, or you withdraw your consent, we may suspend or withdraw the record and inform any platform to which it was provided. We will act on your request regardless of the wishes of the person who submitted the documents.
Some records are held because a law requires them to be kept, and in those cases we may not be able to delete them immediately even at your request. Where that applies, we will tell you what is being kept, why, and for how long, and we will restrict the record so it is used only for that purpose. This does not prevent the content itself being removed from the platform, which is a separate matter you can raise with the platform directly or through us.
To contact us about a record relating to you, email info@prontoid.com. Our Records about you page sets out what to include, how we confirm your identity, and what happens next.
ProntoID is established in Switzerland and processes personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). Where we offer services to people in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, or process data on behalf of clients established there, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation also apply. This section sets out the basis on which we process each category of data.
Some of the data we handle is sensitive: biometric data used to identify a person, identification documents, and records connected to the production of adult content, which may reveal information about a person's sex life. Under the GDPR this is special category data under Article 9, and under the FADP it is sensitive personal data. We process it only where a specific additional condition applies, set out below.
Where verification and model release records are created so that a platform can demonstrate that everyone appearing in an item of content was an adult and consented, we rely on the following.
If you withdraw your consent we stop relying on it. We will suspend or withdraw the record and inform any platform it was provided to. Where a specific legal obligation or a live legal claim requires part of the record to be kept, we will tell you exactly what is being kept and why, and we will restrict it to that purpose alone.
Where a photographer, studio, or agency submits documents relating to you, the consent we rely on was given by you to them, and they warrant to us that they have it. We are relying on a consent we did not collect ourselves, so we treat any indication from you that it was not given, or is withdrawn, as decisive: see Section 3. We also rely on our legitimate interest in holding a record that allows a person appearing in content to be identified and protected.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we assess whether our interest is overridden by your interests, rights, and freedoms, and we record that assessment. You have the right to object to processing carried out on this basis, and we will stop unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds that override your objection, or the processing is needed for legal claims. To object, contact us at info@prontoid.com.
You can ask us at any time which basis applies to a particular record we hold about you, and we will tell you.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, and strict access controls. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we continuously update our security practices to maintain the highest possible standard.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention policies differ sharply depending on why the data was collected, and the distinction matters:
Where a record is subject to a retention obligation, we restrict access to it rather than delete it: it is held for the compliance purpose alone and is not used for any other purpose. Retaining a record does not keep the related content published: those are separate, and Records about you explains what you can still ask for in that situation.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@prontoid.com. You do not need a ProntoID account to make a request, and you do not need to give a reason. If your request concerns a record submitted about you by a photographer, studio, or agency, see Records about you for how the process works.
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, or country where data protection laws may differ. As a Swiss company, we comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and are aligned with the principles of the GDPR. We ensure that any international transfers are conducted with appropriate safeguards in place.
Our Service is intended for and directed to individuals 18 years of age or older. A primary function of our Service is to verify that individuals meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly create accounts for, market to, or otherwise solicit information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We may update our 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. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact our Privacy Officer:
If you are contacting us about a record that a photographer, studio, or agency submitted about you, please read Records about you first — it explains what to include in your email and how we confirm your identity before discussing any record.
