Home > Company > Why Age Layer

Purpose-built for age assurance in real-world, regulated niches.

Not built for everyone. Built for what matters.

Age Layer was designed from day one to meet the specific needs of industries that don’t fit the mainstream mold. If you operate in a high-risk, high-regulation, or age-sensitive space — we’re your people.

Our Purpose

We believe privacy-respecting age and identity verification shouldn’t be reserved for giant enterprises or mass-market social apps.

Platforms in adult entertainment, gambling, Web3, or alternative communities face stricter rules, deeper scrutiny — and fewer vendors willing to support them.

Age Layer exists to serve you.

Built For Edge Cases

We know the challenges our clients face:

Age Layer doesn’t flinch. Our system is built to offer compliant, defensible verification across the exact use cases most platforms avoid mentioning.

What Makes Us Different

Human-reviewed verification

Precision and context matter — especially in sensitive spaces

Redaction support

Users control their data; you stay compliant without overreach

Reusable passcodes

Avoid repeated checks while maintaining trust

No profiling

We verify age or identity, not behaviour or interests

Friendly to non-mainstream use cases

We won’t drop you just because your niche isn’t “brand-safe”

We Believe in...

Born From Experience

Age Layer evolved from AgeSmart — a human-reviewed verification service built in Portugal for the adult space. We’ve grown from that base to serve other regulated and privacy-critical platforms, always keeping the same philosophy:

Keep it human
Keep it private
Keep it compliant

Ready to work with a partner who actually understands your space?

Age Layer is here for the industries others overlook — with compliant, privacy-preserving solutions that actually work.
