(website registration). Usage of the application requires a password to be set up after receiving an e-mail notification about the profile registration and the usage of the websites requires a password to be set up or direct access is available with one-time code requested and sent to the registered phone number (via SMS) or e-mail address. Thereafter, the product information contents of the websites – the website(s) affected by the registration(s) – will be available to registered consumers. The device buyer consumer with the help of the seller or the PM representative during the device purchase at the national tobacco shop / or consumers who already own a device can register personally in the point of sale of the device even after the purchase  with the help of PM representatives in national tobacco shops selling the device, both new buyers and existing device owners can visit www.iqos.com or after it through our Customer Care via video chat. Consumers who do not yet have a device (interested consumers) can complete their registration through our toll-free Customer Service via video chat, on the website www.iqos.com, or with the help of PM representatives in tobacco shops where the representatives or trained tobacco shop staff of designated national tobacco shops are present in person. Consumers interested in nicotine pouches may register on www.zyn.com website or in national tobacco shops where PM representatives are present. If an intender consumer interested in nicotine pouches has an existing registration on the www.iqos.com
 website, such consumer may complete their registration on the www.zyn.com
 website with the assistance of the IQOS Customer Service, with appropriate identification and authentication. If the use of the automated, facialrecognitionbased ageverification technology and application, as detailed below, does not permit the completion of the registration, the Data Subject may request assistance from the Controller’s customer service. In such a case, age verification shall be carried out via a video call with customer service, during which the Data Subject shall present his or her identity documents for inspection. Some personal data have to be provided for registration, which we process in accordance with our Privacy Notice and with the "Protection of your data" section in these Terms and Conditions of Use. It is important that users should provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information when setting up their profile with registration. The registered user agree to ensure that the provided data will always be accurate, complete and up-to-date and to inform Philip Morris Hungary Ltd. of any changes therein by modifying profile information in any of the websites or via Customer Care.


Only adult smokers and users of nicotine-containing products are authorized to register and use the websites who live in Hungary and have made a statement of being over 18 years old.

Additional conditions of registration include the acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Use, acknowledgement of having noted of the Privacy Notice and – for consumers with a device – statement about the given device Club membership and participation in market research, while for consumers without a device and intender consumers interested in nicotine pouches – a statement as to whether they request information about the characteristics, use and effects of the products by electronic mail.

 

If the user does not meet the above requirements, they may neither register nor access the websites.

Philip Morris Hungary Ltd. reserves the right to conduct the activities below of registered users with a device

•  in case of claim for replacement check with a personal / physical inspection that the device is defective and the cause of the defect,

•  limits the number of devices that can be registered to the profile, - either in general or for specific consumers- or draws the consumer's attention to the possibility of the restriction if the number of device registrations to the consumer profile has exceeded the average number of registered devices to consumers.

 

Registered users shall manage their user name and password enabling login to the website(s) confidentially and inaccessibly to others and if any suspicion arise that these were acquired by an unauthorized person, they shall immediately notify Philip Morris Hungary Ltd. by sending an e-mail to PMHU.GDPR@pmi.com.

 

Registered users are responsible for all activities conducted in their profiles, whether or not they are aware of them. If a consumer registers on both the device‑related and the nicotine‑pouch‑related websites, only one profile is created; during the later registration, the System automatically uses the existing profile created during the earlier registration. The user may access both websites using the same login credentials (including the password) through any of the available login methods.

 

Registered users are not to use either the password or the profile of another person. They may not attempt to make any unauthorized access to the websites. In the event that they attempt to do so, or assist others in doing so, or if they distribute any guidance, software or devices to that end, the profile will be closed.

 

It is possible to transfer the device(s) assigned to the profile of an existing registered user to another profile, this can be initiated by any party interested in the transfer, via the websites related to heating devices or Customer Service.

 

If the registered user passed away and the heir wants to register the device under their own name, it can be done based on the instructions of the Customer Service and by filling out the document "Declaration for the registration of the device of the owner of a deceased heating device".

 

If users exchange their device (or parts of them) with someone, Customer Service can provide assistance in exchanging the devices by having one or both parties fill in the "Consent to transfer of data" document, so Customer Service can release the contact information of the user who gave the consent to the other party.

 

Protection of your data

 

We handle the personal data provided by you in the manner described below in our Privacy Policy and in these Terms of Use.

 

Please note that if a registered user deletes the registered profile (which can be done after login to the profile on the websites or through our Customer Care following the necessary identification) Philip Morris Hungary Ltd. does not retain the data or statements needed for creating the profile and the data generated in the course of using the websites, so it will not be able to provide such information retroactively after deletion. The personal data related to the registered user's profile will be deleted within 30 days from the profile deletion from all our systems. The profile will be deleted even if neither the registered e-mail address nor the mobile phone number belong to the owner of the profile. If you have registered on both websites but wish to terminate your registration for only one of them, this can be done exclusively through Customer Service. In such a case, your profile and your registration for the other website will remain active. It is important to understand that if you delete your profile by logging into either website, this action will terminate your registration on both websites, meaning you will no longer be able to access either website or use any services associated with registration. If you only want to disconnect one of your devices from your profile, only do so and do not delete your registration or profile, in this case your registration and profile will remain.

 

The profile deletion is the consumer’s responsibility if the consumer is no longer a smoker.

 

Other data processing activities related to the consumer, such as business analytical activities, complaints, warranty claim protocols, telephone conversations with customer service, telephone conversations with support and feedback teams, and personal data handled in the context of a personal customer support expert visit are handled, stored and then deleted in accordance with the provisions of the detailed Privacy Policy below.

 

The profile of the registered user is deleted by Philip Morris Hungary Ltd. – except in the following cases – only at the request of the user:

 

•  in case of buyback of the registered device – if the user does not register another device – the profile will be deleted after 3 months;

•  or if the registered users (in the case of a user registered to the heating device related websites with or without heating device CLUB membership) do not log in the website(s) (in the case of a user registered only to one of the websites the website they are registered or if the user is registered to more than one websites to all of the websites they are registered) for 3 years, do not contact our Customer Service team or our customer support experts, do not update their profile, the user registered on the heating device related website(s) do not register device to their profile, and the user (regardless of category) do not open any e-mails sent by us, then after 3 inactive years - even if we tried to contact the user in the meantime - the profile will be deleted.

•  If the adult registered consumer already has a profile with device registration as per point II.A.1.1. a), but does not actually use the device, but requests the creation of a profile without device registration as per point II.A.1.1.b), then in this case the profile as per point II.A.1.1. a) will be deleted.

 

The registered users accept that automatic messages will be sent to the registered e-mail address and will be received by them to ensure the proper provision of information about several steps in relation with their registered device and the rights and obligations related to registration and/or the handling of their user profile (like registration, new password creation, personal data modification, cancellation, etc.), in order to ensure appropriate information regarding the operation of the System and the rights and obligations related to registration.

 

The registered users accept that other technical emails what promotes the proper use of the devices (for example the importance of software update), or notifications regarding changes to these Terms and Conditions of Use or warranty conditions, or notifications concerning the availability of website access associated with supplementary registration (i.e. on a new website) will be sent them to their registered email address .

1. General purpose of data processing

The purpose of data processing is

a) For consumers with a device, product information on the website, warranty services, and additional services related to the right of withdrawal upon customer and product registration, while

b) For consumers without a device, product information on the website upon customer registration, including information on programs that may be announced by PM for consumers registered under this "b)" point on the website or other legally available channels, and the purchase of devices at a reduced price according to the information, as well as feedback from the consumer

this contract is to be fulfilled by the Data Controller for the Data Subjects.

2. Data Subjects of data processing

Data Subjects of data processing are

 

a)      Consumers who have a device and who choose

•  for product information on the website and

•  for the warranty and related services related to the purchase of the device and

•  for the possibility of exercising the right of withdrawal (buyback) in the case of an undamaged, complete device

 

to register their device in the System or in the national tobacco shop personally, or the purchased device, or through the Controller's customer service via video chat.
The Data Subject previously registered under point b) below becomes a Data Subject under this point, and the provisions applicable to Data Subjects under this point become applicable to them at the time when a device is subsequently registered for their profile.

b) Consumers without a heating device who decide to:

 

•  Utilize the product information service on the website, which becomes immediately available upon registration, including information on programs that may be announced by PM for consumers registered under this point II.A.1.1.b) on the website or other legally available channels, and the possibility of purchasing devices at a reduced price according to the information, as well as providing feedback from the consumer.
•  Additionally, to enable the Data Subject to utilize the services and exercise the rights referred to in point II.A.1.2. a) automatically upon possible device registration following registration, they register themselves and possibly their device either on the website, in person at a national tobacco shop, or with the help of the Data Controller's customer service via video call. In this case, the subsequent device registration can also be completed by the consumer on the website.

For the purposes of applying this privacy policy, an individual is also considered to be according to point II.A.1.2. a) Data Subject who purchases the device for another individual and also registers the profile with his or her own data in the ways specified above.

Mobile phone number
The mobile phone number is used for several purposes.

On the other hand, if the Data Subject requests the replacement of the device, the Controller will perform a (remote) inspection of the product with regard to registration and in case of a favourable assessment of the warranty claim, the Controller will send an SMS containing the replacement code to the Data Subject's mobile phone number. The consumer will also receive a unique identification code via SMS before performing operations requiring consumer identification. Instead of entering the password the registered consumer can request a one-time verification code to enter the profile on the website, the code will be sent via SMS to the registered mobile phone number.


Simultaneously with registration, a user profile is automatically created for the Data Subject in the System which profile allows the Data Subject to view the product information content available only to registered Data Subjects on the website. The mobile number (or e-mail address) is required in addition to the password generated by the Data Subject and known only to the Data Subject in order for the Data Subject to access the website and view product information content.

Title II.A.21.


Data processing activities related to facial recognition-based age verification

 

 

Description and overview of the data processing activity

Description and overview of the data processing activity

The age verification process applied by the Data Controller in the course of the data subject’s registration on the website is as follows:

 

Successful registration on the website is conditional upon the satisfactory completion of the age verification procedure. The age verification constitutes a legal obligation incumbent upon the Data Controller. The purpose of this process is to ensure that any data subject who has not attained the age of 18 is prevented from successfully registering in the System and, consequently, from obtaining product-related information via the website.

 

The age verification procedure is initiated by an automated process. Following the Data Subject’s initiation of registration on the website, the Data Controller, as a first step, engages the automated, facial age-estimation technology and application developed by the data processor (Yoti Ltd.) for the purpose of verifying the Data Subject’s age on the basis of an electronic facial image (e.g., a “selfie”) captured by means of an image-recording device. This artificial intelligence–based solution operates a neural network trained to analyze an individual’s facial image and to estimate and verify the person’s age without the need for physical identity document verification or human intervention.

 

The accuracy rate of the application’s age verification varies between 96.31% and 99.96%, depending on the age group to which the individual depicted in the image belongs. In the event that the Data Subject considers that the application has erroneously estimated their age to be below the threshold required for registration, thereby preventing the Data Controller and its System from permitting successful registration, the Data Subject may request the assistance of the Data Controller’s customer support service. In such cases, age verification shall subsequently be carried out by the customer support service via a live video connection, during which the Data Subject shall present their identification documents for the purpose of verifying their age.

 

The technology has been designed in compliance with the principle of “data protection by design” as set out in Article 25 of the GDPR.

The application does not enable the identification of a natural person and is not suitable for drawing any further inferences or generating additional information relating to the user.

The solution ensures data minimization, as the estimation of age requires solely a single facial image.

 

The image captured is not stored on the Data Controller’s local device, rather, it is transmitted via an encrypted data connection (TLS 1.2) to the data processor’s back-end system, which is currently located in the United Kingdom.

Upon completion of the automated age verification process, the image is immediately and permanently deleted, and no further processing, disclosure, reuse, or sale of the data takes place. The application does not store, share, reuse, or otherwise make the facial image accessible to the Data Controller, the data processor, or their respective employees. Similarly, neither the facial image nor any data contained in the identification document is recorded during the customer service–assisted, manual age verification procedure.

 

Although the automated age verification process involves the processing of a facial image, the technology does not qualify as biometric data processing within the meaning of the GDPR, as it is neither suitable for the unique identification or authentication of natural persons nor deployed for such purposes. The sole purpose of the processing is the probabilistic estimation of age, which does not entail identification. This interpretation has also been confirmed by the United Kingdom’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

The operation of the application and the associated data processing practices are subject to regular review independent external audits conducted in accordance with the SOC 2 and PAS 1296 standards.

 

The signed agreements concluded with the data processor, together with their respective annexes, contain detailed provisions governing data protection, confidentiality, incident management, and liability.

The data processor has submitted its ISO/IEC 27001 certification and its SOC 2 Type 2 report, which substantiate, with respect to the data processor, compliance with applicable information security and data protection requirements.

The privacy notice relating to the automated age verification application provided by Yoti Ltd. is available here, and detailed information in English regarding the Yoti age verification application may be accessed here.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details set out in point 2. of General Part, preferably via the e-mail address specified therein.

1. General purpose of data processing

In accordance with the provisions of Government Decree No. 43/2025 (III. 13.) on the special rules for the description and presentation of certain products sold in tobacco shops (with particular regard to Section 5(1) and Section 8(3)), it must be ensured that individuals under the age of 18 cannot successfully register on the website, and that any product description process, presentation, display method, or any fact, data, or information derived from it does not become accessible to minors or other unauthorized persons.

2. Data Subjects of data processing

Data Subjects initiating registration on the website.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The execution of data processing is based on the legal basis defined in Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, i.e., the consent given by the Data Subject.

Data processing activities related to facial recognition-based age verification

 

 

Description and overview of the data processing activity

Description and overview of the data processing activity

The age verification process applied by the Data Controller in the course of the data subject’s registration on the website is as follows:

 

Successful registration on the website is conditional upon the satisfactory completion of the age verification procedure. The age verification constitutes a legal obligation incumbent upon the Data Controller. The purpose of this process is to ensure that any data subject who has not attained the age of 18 is prevented from successfully registering in the System and, consequently, from obtaining product-related information via the website.

 

The age verification procedure is initiated by an automated process. Following the Data Subject’s initiation of registration on the website, the Data Controller, as a first step, engages the automated, facial age-estimation technology and application developed by the data processor (Yoti Ltd.) for the purpose of verifying the Data Subject’s age on the basis of an electronic facial image (e.g., a “selfie”) captured by means of an image-recording device. This artificial intelligence–based solution operates a neural network trained to analyze an individual’s facial image and to estimate and verify the person’s age without the need for physical identity document verification or human intervention.

 

The accuracy rate of the application’s age verification varies between 96.31% and 99.96%, depending on the age group to which the individual depicted in the image belongs. In the event that the Data Subject considers that the application has erroneously estimated their age to be below the threshold required for registration, thereby preventing the Data Controller and its System from permitting successful registration, the Data Subject may request the assistance of the Data Controller’s customer support service. In such cases, age verification shall subsequently be carried out by the customer support service via a live video connection, during which the Data Subject shall present their identification documents for the purpose of verifying their age.

 

The technology has been designed in compliance with the principle of “data protection by design” as set out in Article 25 of the GDPR.

The application does not enable the identification of a natural person and is not suitable for drawing any further inferences or generating additional information relating to the user.

The solution ensures data minimization, as the estimation of age requires solely a single facial image.

 

The image captured is not stored on the Data Controller’s local device, rather, it is transmitted via an encrypted data connection (TLS 1.2) to the data processor’s back-end system, which is currently located in the United Kingdom.

Upon completion of the automated age verification process, the image is immediately and permanently deleted, and no further processing, disclosure, reuse, or sale of the data takes place. The application does not store, share, reuse, or otherwise make the facial image accessible to the Data Controller, the data processor, or their respective employees. Similarly, neither the facial image nor any data contained in the identification document is recorded during the customer service–assisted, manual age verification procedure.

 

Although the automated age verification process involves the processing of a facial image, the technology does not qualify as biometric data processing within the meaning of the GDPR, as it is neither suitable for the unique identification or authentication of natural persons nor deployed for such purposes.
