Our policy towards children

More information

7.1 Our Wizz Service is not directed at persons under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that your child or another user has provided us with personal information, without your consent, then please contact us using the details below so that we can take steps to remove such information and terminate any account your child has created with us.

‍7.2 When you create an account on the Wizz Service, we need to age estimate you based on your facial image. This is so that we can make sure to comply with applicable laws and regulation notably but not limited to regulations related to underaged users. To do this we collect a selfie from you as part of your account creation. We share only your selfie with Yoti who acts as a data processor for Wizz and only acts under our instructions and on our behalf. We share nothing else with Yoti and they will have no way of linking your selfie to any other data about you. Yoti processes this data in its UK based servers and returns an estimated age result to us. Yoti deletes your selfie immediately once the age estimation is completed and does not use your selfie or estimated age for any other purpose at all. Please see Yoti’s US Biometrics Policy for more information.

At this stage, and for safety reasons, Wizz will keep a copy of the face image. This face image might only be used to verify the user’s account and Wizz will never use the image for other purposes. Wizz will only store an image but no biometrics data.

When Yoti is unable to determine the age of a user accurately enough, we use our fallback provider Sumsub for age esimation.

Thanks to this age assessment, users are classified by cluster, and matched with people having appropriate age.

7.3 Wizz moderates all written content that is sent to the app, even before it is received by your contact. To do this, Wizz uses Besedo.

We also assure the quality of the service providers with Webhelp, through a platform made available by Wizz. 17 people are employed to monitor reported conversations or profiles. They only use the data for the purpose requested by Wizz, only following a written instruction from Wizz, and Wizz retains all responsibility. In addition, Webhelp encrypts the data, makes it anonymous so it can’t be linked back to our users, and destroys the data once the action has been taken, while keeping a file of its actions on the data for commercial purpose.

7.4 Wizz also ensures that users can themselves report any content or behavior that is inappropriate or does not comply with our Terms. Because of this, users can report harmful users, or advertisements. Wizz analyzes each report and thanks to a trust index, bans users or not.

7.5 All advertisements and content of third parties advertising on the application are made to be suitable for minors, i.e. having no reference to underwears, alcoholic beverages and tobacco, dating, drugs and supplements, “get rich quick”, finance, politics, religion, reference to sex, sensationalism, sexual & reproductive health, significant skin exposure, social casino games, weight loss, gambling & betting and everything related to cosmetic procedures and body modifications.
