Badoo's photo verification now states biometric data is collected and offers manual verification instead
The verification section now says facial-recognition analysis involves collecting biometric data, and that users can ask for manual verification if they don't want facial recognition or biometric collection. Several sentences about when verification may be required, including asking for a phone number, were removed. The rest is mostly rewording.
Won back
- Option to request manual verification instead of facial recognition or biometric data collection
- Explicit disclosure that photo verification involves collecting biometric data
