Built on user trust, protected by design.

Privacy built in. Security guaranteed.

Age Layer prioritises user data protection at every step—from redacted ID uploads to human-reviewed decisions and minimal data retention.

Why IT Matters

Modern age verification sticks users with invasive data collection or heavy-handed profiling—often unnecessarily.

Regulators like the European Data Protection Board require that age assurance systems balance child protection with fundamental rights

Age Layer aligns with privacy-first mandates: we verify age or identity, without unnecessary data or tracking.

Our Privacy-First Design Principles

1

Redacted ID upload

Users can black out name, address, or ID number—only face and date of birth are required. This protects privacy while preserving functionality.

2

Human-reviewed verification

Verification is always checked by trained agents—not AI alone. This ensures contextual decisions, reduced bias, and auditability.

3

Minimal data retention

IDs, images, and biometric data are deleted post-verification. Logs only record verification events, not full personal data.

4

No profiling, no tracking

We don’t track behavioural data or embed third-party scripts. Your platforms see only a verification outcome or passcode—nothing else.

Regulatory Compliance & Auditability

GDPR & UK data privacy alignment

Automatic data deletion, user rights respected, minimal PII.

Proportional & fair design

No forced identity creation or persistent profiling

Audit-ready quality Control

Human-reviewed logs are defensible in compliance audits or investigations.

Privacy-preserving future compatibility

Age Layer is designed to adapt to initiatives like EU’s age-verification blueprints and zero-knowledge proof mechanisms
