Biometric Data Policy

We never sell it, and we destroy it on a published schedule.

When you choose to blend a face into a card, Gift Pong’s AI analyzes the geometry of the face in a photo you upload. That facial geometry may be a biometric identifier (or “biometric information”) under laws such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 740 ILCS 14), the Texas CUBI Act, and Washington’s biometric law. This is our written policy governing that data.

What we collect

Facial-geometry features derived from a photo you upload, used solely to render the blended card you asked for. We do not build a searchable face database, identify strangers, or use your face to train AI models.

Consent first

We collect or analyze facial geometry only after you give informed consent at the point of upload — you are told, in writing, that biometric data is being collected, the specific purpose (rendering your AI card/animation), and how long it is kept, and you affirmatively agree before any geometry is computed.

Purpose — and only that purpose

We use facial geometry for exactly one thing: generating and letting you view or re-share the Gift Pong card you created. Nothing else.

We never sell it

We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric data, and we do not disclose it except to the processors strictly necessary to render your card (e.g. the image-generation and safety-moderation services listed in our Privacy Policy), none of whom may sell or repurpose it.

Retention & destruction schedule

We retain facial geometry only as long as needed to create and let you view/re-share your card. We permanently destroy it at the earliest of:

  • when the purpose for collecting it has been satisfied;
  • on your deletion request (account or photo deletion); or
  • within three (3) years of your last interaction with Gift Pong.

One narrow exception: if specific content is subject to a legal preservation duty (for example, material reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline, which we must preserve for one year under federal law), that specific item is preserved for the required period and then destroyed.

Your control

You can delete your photos and your account anytime from your settings, or by emailing support@giftpong.com. Deletion removes your stored photos and any associated facial geometry.

Adults only (18+)

Gift Pong is for adults 18 and older. We verify date of birth at signup and do not knowingly collect biometric data from minors. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.
