Terms & Conditions for Business Customers

Effective on October 2026

These Terms and Conditions for Business Customers (“Agreement”) govern the provision of age-verification and/or age-estimation services (the “Services”) by Age Verification Technology, S.L. (“AgeGO”, “we”, “us”, “our”) to operators of online services or platforms that offer age-restricted content (the “Business Customers” or “you”).

The Services are rendered based on information submitted by end users of your service (the “End Users”) to AgeGO, with the sole purpose of generating a verification outcome regarding whether an End User is 18 years of age or over.

The Services are intended to help you comply with applicable legal or industry obligations regarding access control to age-restricted content. AgeGO acts exclusively as a technical service provider. The decision to grant or deny access remains at all times with the Business Customer.

Please read this Agreement carefully before contracting the Services.

  • Cross-Site Verification: means the optional feature within the Services that allows an End User who has been successfully verified on one AgeGO-enabled site (the “originating site”) to be automatically recognised as verified on another AgeGO-enabled site (the “destination site”) through the issuance and server-side validation of an Ag_token, without requiring the End User to repeat the verification.
  • Ag_token or Cross-Site Verification Token: means the short-lived, single-use verification token generated by AgeGO and passed as a URL parameter to enable Cross-Site Verification.

CLAUSES

1. OBJECT.

1.1 Under this Agreement, AgeGO shall provide the age verification and/or age estimation services to the Business Customer, confirming that an End User sent by the Business Customer is 18 years of age or older, based on AgeGO’s Age Verification Solutions.

1.2 AgeGO acts solely as a service provider and data processor on behalf of the Business Customer. AgeGO does not have access to or control over the accuracy or truthfulness of the End User Data. The End User is solely responsible for the accuracy and validity of the data provided. The Business Customer acknowledges that AgeGO shall not be held liable for any claims, damages, or losses arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent End User Data provided by the End User. Should AgeGO become aware of any false or misleading information, it will take reasonable steps to remove or rectify it upon notification. The Business Customer agrees to indemnify and hold AgeGO harmless from any liability related to the End User Data, including compliance with applicable data protection laws such as GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA.

3.2 Expiration of Sales Order: A Sales Order will expire at the end of the agreed term if the Sales Order has a term specified that differs from the term outlined in this Agreement.

4. THE SERVICES.

4.1 AgeGO recognizes that different regulations require website operators to verify the age of users before granting access to certain content or services.

4.2 The Service provided by AgeGO includes the following:

4.2.2 The age-verification data used in the methods included within AgeGO are designed to be confidential and cannot be reasonably known by anyone other than the End User, except in the case of theft or fraudulent use of data or identification documents.

4.2.3 The inclusion of safeguards that authenticate age-verification data, with measures to prevent fraudulent use by non-human operators, including the use of algorithms.

4.3 The Age-Verification Solutions provided through AgeGO’s Service are designed and implemented with the following principles in mind:

4.3.2 The Service is user-friendly and easily usable by the End User.

4.3.3 Clear information is provided to the End User regarding the data protection policies, ensuring transparency in how their data is processed.

4.3.4 The Service is used solely for the purpose of verifying the End User’s age.

4.4 The Services are provided to the Business Customer on a non-exclusive basis. Therefore, the Business Customer is not allowed to license, sub-license, resell, or otherwise commercialize the Service to third parties.

4.5 The provision of the Service shall begin on the Service Start Date and continue for the duration of the Term as specified in the Sales Order, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

4.6 Subject to the Business Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, AgeGO grants the Business Customer a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

- access and use the Widget; and

- install and use the Service.

This license is granted solely in connection with the Service and, unless otherwise agreed, is limited to the Business Customer’s internal use for providing services directly to End Users.

4.7 The Business Customer shall not attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Service or Widget. Specifically, the Business Customer shall not:

4.7.1 Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or attempt to reconstruct any source code, algorithms, design structures, or any other proprietary information related to the Widget or the Service.

4.7.2 Remove any copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary markings from the Widget or the Service.

4.7.3 Modify, enhance, or create derivative works of the Widget or the Service.

4.7.4 Resell, lease, sublicense, assign, distribute, or transfer the Widget or Service in any form, either in whole or in part.

4.7.5 Use the Widget or Service to develop or distribute any competing software product or service.

4.7.6 Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without prior written consent from AgeGO.

4.8 The Business Customer acknowledges that AgeGO does not monitor the content transmitted through the Service and is not responsible for the content of any communications or data transmitted by End Users. The Business Customer agrees to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws.

4.9 The Business Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the Service or the Widget, and to protect any End User Data it has access to. The Business Customer will also ensure that all authorized users refrain from disclosing, duplicating, or reproducing the Widget or Service, except as permitted under this Agreement.

4.10 The Business Customer may permit its Affiliates to use AgeGO’s Services, provided that:

4.10.1 Such Affiliates use the Widget and the Services solely for their own internal operations and not for the benefit of any third party;

4.10.2 The Business Customer remains fully responsible and liable to AgeGO for any use of the Widget and the Services by its Affiliates, including compliance with this Agreement; and

4.10.3 AgeGO may, at any time and upon reasonable request, require the Business Customer to identify or confirm which Affiliates are using the Widget and the Services.

4.11 AgeGO may suspend the Services, with prompt notice, where use poses a security, legal, or compliance risk, or breaches this Agreement or applicable law.

4.12 Cross-Site Verification (Ag_token). The Services include the optional Cross-Site Verification feature, as defined above and further described in Annex 1 (DPA), Section 11. The feature operates through a Verified Link, as defined above, validated server-side by AgeGO. The feature is enabled by default for each site and may be disabled per site at the Business Customer’s request. Further technical details are set out in AgeGO’s integration documentation, available at https://docs.agego.com/cross-site-verification (s’ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) (or any successor URL), as updated from time to time.

4.13 Business Customer obligations for Cross-Site Verification. The data protection obligations of the Business Customer and of AgeGO in connection with this feature — including the categories of data involved, the applicable retention periods, and each party’s role and duties as controller and processor — are set out in Annex 1 (DPA), Section 11, and shall prevail in case of any inconsistency with this Clause 4.13. Without prejudice to those obligations, the Business Customer remains solely responsible for maintaining its own lawful basis for age verification on its site and for any regulatory consequences arising from its decision to enable this feature.

4.14 Suspension or discontinuation. AgeGO may suspend, restrict or discontinue the Cross-Site Verification feature at any time, including on a per-jurisdiction or per-site basis, where required by applicable law, regulatory guidance or supervisory authority instruction. AgeGO shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Business Customer promptly of any such suspension or discontinuation.

5. AVAILABILITY OF AGE-VERIFICATION SOLUTIONS.

5.1 AgeGO, through Third-Party Providers, offers a range of Age-Verification Solutions as part of its Services. These solutions may include, but are not limited to, document-based identity verification, biometric analysis, liveness detection, digital wallets, and other configurable technical tools. The list of available Age-Verification Solutions is regularly maintained and updated, which can be accessed here.

5.2 Depending on the applicable jurisdiction, the Liveness Detection technology used to ensure the integrity of the process may be provided directly by AgeGO or through a Third-Party Provider. All other components, data analysis, and technical results (including, but not limited to, age estimation, face matching, or document validation) are provided exclusively by specialized Third-Party Providers.

5.3 AgeGO reserves the right to add, modify, or discontinue any of the Age-Verification Solutions at its sole discretion, with or without prior notice. While AgeGO will make reasonable efforts to notify the Business Customer of significant changes, it is the responsibility of the Business Customer to stay informed about any updates or modifications.

5.4 Responsibility for Selection and Use of Age-Verification Solutions: The Business Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for selecting, enabling, and using the Age-Verification Solutions provided by AgeGO in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

5.4.1 AgeGO provides its Age-Verification Solutions in accordance with recognized industry standards and best practices, including relevant technical criteria, such as compliance with biometric verification, liveness detection, document validation, and other identity assurance technologies. These solutions are designed with a focus on accuracy, robustness, and compliance. However, it is the Business Customer’s responsibility to assess whether the Age-Verification Solutions are suitable and compliant with the regulatory framework applicable to their specific operational context.

5.4.2 Ongoing Compliance Responsibility: The Business Customer is responsible for regularly reviewing and updating the Age-Verification Solutions it uses to ensure compliance with evolving laws and regulations. AgeGO shall not be held liable for any non-compliance, penalties, or enforcement actions resulting from the Business Customer’s failure to implement and maintain the appropriate Age-Verification Solutions.

5.5 Optional Features Modifying the Default Verification Flow. AgeGO may make available optional features that modify the default end-user verification flow, including features that allow End Users to dismiss the age-verification modal prior to completing verification and return to the Business Customer’s site (each, an “Optional Flow Feature”).

5.5.1 The Business Customer may only enable an Optional Flow Feature if: (i) its platform has content that is genuinely accessible to all users without any legal age restriction under applicable law — for the avoidance of doubt, platforms whose entire service requires mandatory age verification regardless of content type do not qualify; and (ii) the Business Customer independently controls the technical mechanisms that prevent dismissed End Users from accessing any age-restricted content.

5.5.2 By enabling an Optional Flow Feature, the Business Customer represents and warrants that: (i) the conditions in Clause 5.5.1 are satisfied at the time of activation and on an ongoing basis; (ii) it has independently assessed whether enabling such feature is permitted under the laws of all jurisdictions in which it operates or from which it receives material End User traffic; and (iii) the in-platform acknowledgment completed at the time of activation constitutes a binding confirmation of the foregoing representations, forming part of this Agreement.

5.5.3 AgeGO accepts no liability for any regulatory sanctions, enforcement actions, third-party claims, fines, or other losses arising from the Business Customer’s decision to enable or configure an Optional Flow Feature. The provisions of Clauses 11.1 and 11.3 apply in full to any claims arising from its use.

6. FEES.

6.1 The Business Customer shall pay AgeGO the Fees as outlined in the Sales Order and this Agreement. All payments will be non-refundable, non-cancellable, and irrevocable, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the Sales Order, the Fees will be payable in Euros.

6.2 Invoices will be made available to the Business Customer via the Dashboard. The Business Customer is responsible for ensuring that payments are made promptly.

6.3 The amounts due to AgeGO under this Agreement do not include bank fees, transfer fees, taxes, duties, or similar charges. If AgeGO is required to pay any such fees or taxes, including but not limited to sales, use, property, VAT, withholding, customs duties, or other fees related to the Services, these will be billed to and paid by the Business Customer.

6.4 Fees Payment and Credit Management: Unless otherwise agreed, Fees are generally prepaid. If the Business Customer seeks to increase its credit limit, it must follow the instructions provided in the Payments section of the Dashboard.

6.5 Late Payments: All overdue payments will accrue interest at a rate of at least 2% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is higher. Interest will accrue from the due date until the outstanding amount is paid in full.

6.6 Collection of Overdue Payments: The Business Customer agrees to reimburse AgeGO for any costs incurred in the collection of overdue payments, including but not limited to legal fees, court costs, collection agency fees, and attorneys’ fees.

7. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES.

7.1 The Business Customer undertakes to:

7.1.1 Hold harmless AgeGO, its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any liabilities, losses, damages, claims, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any third-party claim:

  • that a third party has suffered injury, damage, or loss resulting from the Business Customer’s or an End User’s actions;
  • that the Business Customer or any End User has used the Service in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement or applicable laws.

7.1.5 Treat all information obtained from AgeGO as confidential, and ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws, applying appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of End Users and their Personal Data.

7.1.6 Not provide, transfer, or make available the Service (or any application interface made available by AgeGO) to any third party, nor make the Service available to any third party, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.

7.1.7 Not bypass or attempt to bypass any security measures or access control mechanisms implemented by AgeGO to protect the Service.

7.1.8 Not resell, distribute, or otherwise transfer for financial consideration any information provided by AgeGO, including data, reports, or any other outputs from the Service.

7.2.2 Grant the Business Customer access to aggregated, anonymized data via the Dashboard, including metrics such as the number of verifications, successful verifications, number of accesses, and incurred fees, without providing identifiable End User data.

7.2.3 Provide the Business Customer with the Dashboard and Reporting features of the Widget, where the Business Customer can monitor key service metrics, including account balance, number of verifications attempted, number of verifications completed, daily access statistics, and other relevant data.

8. TERMINATION; CANCELLATION.

8.1 AgeGO may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause. AgeGO will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Business Customer via email of such termination or cancellation within a reasonable timeframe. However, AgeGO shall not be liable for any damages, loss of business, or other consequences resulting from the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

8.2 Termination for Breach: If either Party fails to fulfill a material obligation under this Agreement, the non-breaching Party has the right to terminate this Agreement with fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the breaching Party. This termination right is without prejudice to the non-breaching Party’s right to claim damages for any losses or harm caused by the breach.

8.3 Effect of Termination: Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Business Customer must cease using the AgeGO platform and services, including the Widget, and return or destroy any proprietary information of AgeGO. The termination shall not affect any rights or obligations that have accrued before the termination date.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY.

9.1 Both Parties agree to keep confidential all information disclosed by the other Party that is marked or identified as confidential, or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. Neither Party shall disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party, except as necessary for the performance of this Agreement or as required by law.

9.2 Disclosure under Legal or Regulatory Requirement: In certain circumstances, AgeGO may be required to disclose information regarding the Service, End Users’ Data, or any other information provided by the Business Customer or the End User due to a legal order from a court or administrative authority. AgeGO is fully entitled to disclose such information upon receiving a lawful request from an authority that it reasonably deems competent. AgeGO will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Business Customer of such disclosure, to the extent permitted by law, unless the law prohibits such notice.

9.3 Obligations Upon Termination: Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information received from the other Party, and shall not retain any copies of such information, except to the extent required by law or for internal compliance purposes.

10. DATA PROTECTION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE.

10.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the context of the Services:

  • The Business Customer acts as the data controller, determining the purposes and means of processing of End User Data.
  • AgeGO acts as the data processor, processing End User Data solely on behalf of the Business Customer and in accordance with this Agreement and the Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) attached as Annex 1.

10.2 AgeGO collects and processes End User Data as described in its Privacy Policy, which is accepted by the End Users before initiating the age verification process. AgeGO applies data minimization, pseudonymization, and anonymization measures to the maximum extent possible, ensuring that only the information strictly necessary to perform age verification is processed.

10.3 The information shared with the Business Customer is limited to the Verification Result (i.e., a binary or equivalent outcome such as “18 or over”, “under 18”, or “unable to verify”). Such a result is provided in a standardized and anonymized format via a callback URL, without any identifiers or links to an individual, ensuring that the Business Customer only receives non-personal data necessary to determine access eligibility.

10.4 This structure ensures compliance with the principles of privacy by design, privacy by default, and data minimization under applicable laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, and other relevant privacy regulations. Both Parties remain responsible for implementing adequate safeguards and handling data in accordance with their respective legal obligations.

10.5 Any processing of personal data relating to the Business Customer’s personnel or authorized users (including administrators, technical integrators, or support contacts), or any data generated during the Business Customer’s use of the Services, shall be carried out by AgeGO as an independent data controller. Such data may include identification details (name, surname, contact information, role, credentials), usage data (logs, configuration actions, technical interactions), and communications for support purposes. The processing is carried out for service administration, technical support, account management, billing, compliance, and security, on the legal bases of performance of the Agreement, compliance with legal obligations, and AgeGO’s legitimate interests in maintaining and improving the Services. Personal data shall be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil these purposes and to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Data subjects are entitled to exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, as well as to complain to the competent data protection authority, by contacting AgeGO at privacy@agego.com.

10.6 Cross-Site Verification. The Cross-Site Verification feature described in clause 4.12 forms part of the Services. The controller / processor relationship set out in clause 10.1 and in the DPA (Annex 1) applies to that feature in full: the Business Customer remains the data controller, and AgeGO remains the data processor acting on the Business Customer’s documented instructions under Article 28 GDPR (and equivalent provisions of the UK GDPR). The specific processing operations generated by that feature are described in Annex 1 (DPA), Section 11.

10.7 Where an End User chooses to create and/or access an AgeGO account, AgeGO acts as an independent data controller (and not as the Business Customer’s data processor) in relation to the account-related data processed for that purpose. Such processing is governed by AgeGO’s Privacy Policy.

11. INDEMNIFICATION. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

11.1 Indemnification: The Business Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AgeGO, its officers, directors, shareholders, successors, affiliates, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any claims, costs, demands, liabilities, expenses, losses, damages, and attorney’s fees arising out of any claim or lawsuit, including but not limited to those for defamation (libel or slander), copyright infringement, trademark violation, and any other claims resulting from:

11.1.1 The granting or denial of access to the Business Customer’s website and/or services to the End User;

11.1.2 The proper rendering of services by the Business Customer to the End User;

11.1.3 The breach of this Agreement by the Business Customer in relation to the End User; and/or

11.1.4 Any other issue arising from the contractual relationship between the Business Customer and the End User.

11.2 Indemnification for Legal Fees: The Business Customer also agrees to indemnify AgeGO for any legal fees incurred by AgeGO in investigating, defending, or enforcing its rights under this Agreement, provided that AgeGO acts reasonably in relation to such matters and to the extent such fees and expenses arise out of the Business Customer’s breach of this Agreement, negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, this obligation shall not extend to costs incurred solely in investigating a potential claim, unless such investigation demonstrates a substantiated breach by the Business Customer.

11.3 Limitation of Liability: Under no circumstances will AgeGO be liable to the Business Customer or any third party for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from the use of the Service, regardless of the legal theory (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), and even if AgeGO has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profits, data loss, or business interruption, regardless of the cause.

11.4 Disclaimer of Warranties: The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. AgeGO does not warrant that any content, information, or results provided through the Service are accurate, reliable, or error-free, or that access to the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from viruses, errors, or defects.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

12.1 Ownership: Unless otherwise stated, AgeGO is the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in the Service, including but not limited to the software, content, and materials published on the platform. These works are protected by copyright laws and international treaties, and all such rights are reserved.

12.2 No Ownership Transfer: The use of AgeGO’s products and services does not grant the Business Customer any ownership rights over the intellectual property associated with these products or services, nor does it transfer any rights to the content or materials accessed through the Service.

12.3 Protection of AgeGO’s Intellectual Property: AgeGO, its services, and any content provided by AgeGO are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other proprietary rights, as well as applicable international laws and security measures that protect digital content. The Business Customer agrees not to interfere with or infringe upon these intellectual property rights and will not circumvent any security or anti-piracy measures designed to prevent the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or use of the content.

12.4 Restrictions on Use of Trademarks: The Business Customer may not use any of AgeGO’s trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other proprietary identifiers without the prior written consent of AgeGO.

13. MODIFICATION.

13.1 AgeGO reserves the right to amend the provisions of this Agreement that are minor in scope or nature, and may do so without providing reasons, provided that such modifications do not alter the fundamental terms of this Agreement. Any modified provisions will be made available to the Business Customer via the AgeGO website, and the updated Agreement will govern the relationship between the Parties from the date of publication.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

14.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

14.2 For any matter related to the interpretation or execution of this Agreement, the Parties hereby expressly waive any right to submit to any other courts that may have jurisdiction over the subject matter, and agree to submit to the exclusive competence and jurisdiction of the courts of the City of Barcelona.

14.3 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Before submitting any dispute to the courts, the Parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiations or through alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, if mutually agreed upon by both Parties.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

ANNEX 1 – DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT (DPA)

This Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) forms an integral part of the Terms and Conditions for Business Customers (the “Agreement”) between the Business Customer (the “Data Controller”) and Age Verification Technology, S.L. (“AgeGO”, the “Data Processor”).

1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, the CCPA/CPRA, and any other applicable privacy regulations.

1.2 “Processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Data, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure, or deletion.

1.3 “Data Controller” means the Business Customer, which determines the purposes and means of the Processing of Personal Data.

1.4 “Data Processor” means AgeGO, which processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller in accordance with this DPA and the Agreement.

1.5 “End User Data” means any Personal Data submitted by End Users in the context of the age verification process.

1.6 “Subprocessor” means any third party engaged by AgeGO to process Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller.

1.7 “Anonymization” means the process of irreversibly rendering Personal Data anonymous, so that it can no longer be linked to any individual.

1.8 “Pseudonymization” means the replacement of identifying fields with pseudonyms, so data cannot be attributed to a specific individual without separate, securely stored information.

1.9 “Verification Result” means the anonymized outcome of the verification process (e.g., “18 or over”, “under 18”, “unable to verify”), communicated by AgeGO to the Data Controller, without revealing any underlying Personal Data.

2. SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PROCESSING

2.1 Purpose: AgeGO processes Personal Data solely for the provision of age verification services under the Agreement.

2.2 Scope: Processing may include identity-related data (biometrics, name, date of birth, ID document details, images, or other verification inputs).

2.3 Categories of Data Subjects: End Users of the Data Controller who submit Personal Data for verification.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

3.1 AgeGO’s Obligations as Data Processor

AgeGO shall:

3.1.1 Process Personal Data only on documented instructions from the Data Controller.

3.1.2 Implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, including pseudonymization, anonymization, encryption, access controls, and data minimization.

9. LIABILITY

9.1 Each Party shall be liable for its own breaches of this DPA or applicable data protection laws.

9.2 AgeGO’s liability shall be limited to breaches of its express obligations under this DPA, subject to the overall liability caps set out in the Agreement.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

10.1 This DPA is governed by the laws of Spain.

10.2 The courts of Barcelona shall have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory rights under applicable data protection laws.

11. ADDITIONAL PROCESSING UNDER THE CROSS-SITE VERIFICATION (AG_TOKEN) FEATURE

This Section 11 describes the additional processing operations carried out by AgeGO as a data processor of the Business Customer under the Cross-Site Verification feature. It supplements, and is governed by, the remainder of this DPA.

11.1 Purpose. To enable an End User who has been verified by AgeGO on one AgeGO-enabled site (Site A) to be automatically recognised as verified on another AgeGO-enabled site (Site B), so that both Business Customers can meet their respective age-verification obligations under applicable law without requiring the End User to repeat the verification.

11.2 Nature of the processing. The processing consists of: (i) issuing an Ag_token in the background on the originating site (prefetched during page load, with on-click generation as fallback); (ii) appending the Ag_token to the destination URL at the moment of the End User’s click; (iii) validating the Ag_token server-side on request from the destination site; and (iv) enforcing single-use and short expiry of the Ag_token.

11.3 Categories of Personal Data. The processing involves: the Ag_token; an identifier derived from the verified session on Site A but is a separate, newly signed credential with its own short expiry and one-time identifier (linked to the End User’s AgeGO Account, if any, and otherwise not linked to their Account); timestamps of the issuance and validation events; the identifiers of the originating and destination sites; and the outcome of the validation. The processing does not involve and shall not be used to process any Biometric Data, identity document, financial data, digital ID data or other Sensitive Personal Data. No content viewed by the End User on either site is processed.

11.4 Categories of Data Subjects. End Users of the Business Customer who have been age-verified through AgeGO on an AgeGO-enabled site.

11.5 Duration and retention. The Ag_token is valid for a very short period (typically no more than five (5) minutes from issuance) and is invalidated immediately upon validation. Application logs relating to token issuance and validation are retained by AgeGO for approximately seven (7) days and then deleted; these logs do not include any identifier of the End User, save for error logs and 5%-sampled timing telemetry retained for the same period for service-reliability purposes. Separately, AgeGO retains statistics events relating to the validation phase referenced in Clause 11.3 (issuance, validation, session and access outcomes), without a fixed deletion schedule. Where such an event is linked to an End User’s AgeGO Account, that link persists for as long as the Account remains active; upon deletion of the Account, the associated email address and/or the passkey’s public key and credential ID are deleted, and the retained events can no longer be attributed to the End User.

11.6 Documented instructions. The enablement of the Cross-Site Verification feature by the Business Customer, together with the acceptance of the Agreement and of this DPA, constitutes the Business Customer’s documented instructions to AgeGO under Article 28(3)(a) GDPR for the operations described in this Section 11.

11.7 Processor obligations. AgeGO shall:
(a) process the Personal Data described in Section 11.3 only for the purpose set out in Section 11.1 and only in accordance with the Business Customer’s documented instructions;
(b) not reuse the issuance, validation or destination-site information for AgeGO’s own purposes, including but not limited to aggregated analytics for AgeGO’s own benefit, product development, benchmarking or commercial exploitation, beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the Services;
(c) treat the information linking the originating and destination sites of each Ag_token as Confidential Information of both Business Customers and not disclose it except to the extent strictly necessary to provide the Services or as required by law;
(d) enforce single-use and short expiry (as set out in Section 11.5) technically at the server level;
(e) apply the technical and organisational measures described in Appendix 1 to the processing under this Section 11;
(f) notify the Business Customer of any personal data breach affecting the processing under this Section 11 in accordance with clause 5.2 of this DPA;
(g) suspend or disable the feature promptly upon the Business Customer’s reasonable request, or where required by applicable law or supervisory-authority instruction.

11.8 Business Customer obligations. The Business Customer shall:
(a) inform End Users in its own privacy notice of the use of the feature and of AgeGO’s role as data processor;
(b) maintain its own lawful basis for the underlying age verification on its site, typically compliance with a legal obligation to which it is subject;
(c) preserve the Verified Link (and the Ag_token it contains) through any intermediate redirects that the Business Customer controls, and apply reasonable technical measures to avoid logging, archiving or transmitting the Ag_token to third parties beyond what is strictly necessary to validate it and to take the access decision;
(d) cooperate with AgeGO in the handling of supervisory-authority inquiries, End User rights requests and personal data breach notifications relating to the processing under this Section 11.

11.9 International transfers. Where the processing under this Section 11 entails transfers of Personal Data outside the EEA or the United Kingdom, the parties shall rely on the appropriate transfer mechanism (Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, UK IDTA or equivalent), as set out in clause 3.1.7 of this DPA.

11.10 Liability. Each party remains liable for the harm caused by its own processing under this Section 11. The liability caps of the Agreement apply in full to this Section 11.
