Biometric retention schedule: We permanently destroy any biometric identifiers and biometric information when the initial purpose for collecting them has been satisfied, or within 3 years of your last interaction with our services, whichever occurs first, unless a longer period is required by law or a valid legal process. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric data, and we disclose it only to our verification provider acting on our behalf, with your consent, or where required by law.

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website/app but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality like videos may become unavailable or you would be required to enter your login details every time you visit the website/app as we would not be able to remember that you had logged in previously.

Advertising Cookies
These cookies collect information over time about your online activity on the website/app and other online services to make online advertisements more relevant and effective to you. This is known as interest-based advertising. They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers.

These third party service providers may set their own cookies on your web browser. Third party service providers control many of the performance and functionality, advertising, marketing and analytics cookies described above. We do not control the use of these third party cookies as cookies can only be accessed by the third party that originally set them.

Humainz® Data Retention Policy
Effective Date: May 16, 2025 | Last Updated: October 10, 2026
Services covered
These policies apply to the services operated by Humainz, Inc., including the Humainz® app and website and the Waimz™ app and website (waimz.com), a brand of Humainz, Inc. Where a section applies to only one service, we say so.
We collect certain information as you use Humainz®. Our Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how we use and share it, and how you can control your information. This page describes how long we hold on to different types of information and why.
As mentioned in our Privacy Policy, we require the information that enables us to create your account, provide our services, meet our commitments to our users, and satisfy our legal requirements. The rest is optional.
We retain personal information for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which we collected it. In general, this means that we retain your personal data for as long as you have an active Humainz® account. Some information you can delete directly from the services. We may also retain information for a certain period of time for specific purposes as described below.
Information you can delete directly from the services
You may edit or erase content that you post within Humainz®. For example:
- You can edit or delete any message you have sent or content you have posted if you still have access to the chat, event or community where you posted it.
- You can edit or delete an event or community you created, or that you have permission to manage.
Once you delete content, it will no longer be available to other users (though it may take some time to clear cached uploads). Deleted content will also be deleted from Humainz®'s systems, but we may retain content longer if we have a legal obligation to preserve it as described below. We may keep content that was reported or removed for safety reasons as described under 'Data Retention and Deletion Practices'.
Information retained until your account is deleted
We keep some data for the life of your Humainz® account. This includes information about how you use Humainz®, which helps us understand how users interact with our services, what features or products users may want, or how to improve our services. This also includes information like your username, email, and phone number. Some of that information may be kept for longer periods for specific purposes, as described below. You can delete your account at any time, and if your account is inactive for two years, we may delete it for you.
Retention periods for specific purposes
Business and legal requirements may mean that we need to retain certain information for set periods of time, some of which may extend beyond the deletion of your account. For each type of information, we set these data retention periods based on the reason for its collection:
- Age verification. If you submit an ID for an age verification appeal, we will delete it within sixty days after the age appeal ticket is closed.
- Identity & photo verification. Verification images and any related biometric data are deleted once verification is complete. In all cases, biometric identifiers and biometric information are permanently destroyed when the purpose of collection has been satisfied or within 3 years of your last interaction with our services, whichever occurs first, unless a longer period is required by law.
- Backups. Our database backups are stored for 60-120 days upon which they are deleted.
- Compliance with our legal obligations. We may need to retain certain information for longer periods to comply with legal requirements. For example, when you purchase something through Humainz®, we need to retain information related to that transaction for specific periods for tax and accounting purposes.
Data Retention and Deletion Practices
To meet our safety and security commitments, we retain certain information (including email addresses and phone numbers) for 180 days after deletion for trust and safety purposes. If a user has been reported or flagged for violations of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, we may retain this information for up to seven years. This information helps us keep Humainz® secure, prevent fraud, or prevent bad actors from creating new accounts or otherwise engaging in behavior that violates our policies.
To exercise or defend legal claims, when you contact Humainz, Inc. directly (such as for customer support inquiries and requests to access your information), we retain related information for up to seven years from the closure of your request in case of a dispute or to exercise or defend our legal rights.
Continuity of our service
If you delete your account, we continue to retain and display the content you shared with other users, but that content is no longer tied to your account. We do this in order to ensure that other users continue to have access to the content shared with them. If you want to delete specific content, please do so before you delete your account.
What happens when you delete your account
When you delete your account, we will typically first put your account on hold for 15 to 30 days so that it can be recovered in case it was deleted unintentionally. Once that period expires, we begin the process of deleting identifying information and anonymizing or aggregating other information. Most of this happens quickly (unless the information is subject to a longer retention period as described above), but it can take up to 45 days to delete identifying information from backups. We retain aggregated and anonymized information, which is information that no longer enables us to identify you and is no longer tied to you as an individual.
Your rights
If you are located in the EU, the UK, or another place with similar laws, you have the following specific rights that you can exercise through the Humainz® app directly or by contacting us at privacy@humainz.com:
- Right of access to your personal data
- Right to rectify your personal data if they are incorrect
- Right to erase your personal data
- Right to limit the processing of your personal data
- Right to the portability of your personal data
- Right to object to the processing of your personal data
- Right to withdraw consent
- Right to complain to a data-protection authority
Be aware that the exercising of certain rights may provoke the deletion of your account.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about data retention or our deletion practices, or if you wish to exercise control over your information, please reach out to privacy@humainz.com.
