Fika uses selfie verification to confirm that every member is a real person and is 18 years of age or older. You take a live selfie with your camera in the Fika app. An automated check running on Fika’s own servers confirms that the photo contains a face, and a member of Fika’s team then reviews it.
The automated check only detects whether a face is present. Fika does not create, extract, or store a facial geometry measurement, faceprint, or other biometric template from your selfie, and does not use facial recognition to identify you.
Your verification selfie is collected for one purpose only: to verify your identity and confirm you are over 18. It is not used for advertising, profiling, training AI models, or any purpose other than membership verification. Fika does not sell it or share it for marketing.
Verification selfies are checked on Fika’s own systems and reviewed by Fika’s own team. Fika does not send your selfie to a third-party verification service or AI provider. Our cloud hosting providers store data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
Your verification selfie is stored securely for as long as your account is active. It is deleted when you delete your account. See our Delete Account page.
