We treat privacy of our cardholders very seriously. The card and age verification process is robust. If we find a match, we display page valid for 2 minutes with cardholder image, age and card expiry date (if any). After 2 minutes the page is deleted. To check a card again you need to enter card details or scan a QR code after which a new results page is created.
