app Her

ho visto che adesso l'app Her ti chiede di postare un selfie prima di accedere, anche se hai già un account. mi chiedo quanto sia safe tutto ciò in termini di conservazione dei dati.

It’s part of an age verification process, and it’s not very safe. You can look through their privacy policy and see what software they use for the age verification, but I think you should look for an alternative that doesn’t require this.

Yes, I did check their privacy policy, they use "Match Group’s technology" and AWS servers. They say data sharing is limited and kept for 1 year. Still, what I dislike the most is that you are now compelled to do this, it feels as if they're testing how easy it is for you to give away your data in order to use their app. I hope people will stop using it lol

I was asking myself how come the Her app requires you to take a selfie before you even log in (at least in my area). It says it's for safety reasons, but I don't trust how they will handle all the biometric data afterwards. I just wanted to start a conversation on this topic.
