Age-appropriate experiences for every user

We help platforms determine the age of their users, so they can create safe and compliant online spaces.

Safer online environments

Whether you're blocking under-18s from restricted content or unlocking age-appropriate features, our age checks safeguard your users and keep you compliant with global legislation - without disrupting the experience for legitimate users.

Privacy-by-design

Verify user age without ever seeing their personal data. Using a variety of methods - including email-based age checks, a method we pioneered - we share a simple yes/no with your platform, and nothing else.
Why Verifymy

Why platforms trust Verifymy

Knowing the age of your users is no longer optional. We combine deep regulatory expertise, the lowest-friction technology on the market, and a consultative partnership to help you stay compliant without sacrificing conversions.

Deep safeguarding and regulatory expertise

We've spent years navigating the world's most complex age assurance and safeguarding requirements, across the sectors where the stakes - and the scrutiny - are highest.

Insight grounded in real regulatory relationships, not a generic playbook.

The lowest-friction technology

Age assurance should protect your users and your business, without compromising either.

Always innovating, we invented email-based age checks, and we continue to build technology that meets regulatory requirements while keeping the user experience seamless.

A partner, not just a provider

We work alongside you, offering direct access to real expertise rather than a support queue.

The right solution depends on your user journeys, demographics and regions, so we tailor ours to your needs as the regulatory landscape continues to shift.
How it works

Background checks or age gate

Age checks can be deployed seamlessly in the background using data already collected by a platform, or presented as an age gate when additional information is needed.

Background age checks

Use data already captured at account creation or within a transaction, while the user experiences no interruption. 

Methods include: Email-based age checks, Mobile phone number, Credit bureau check

Age gate

Users choose their preferred method and provide additional information needed to prove their age.

Methods include: Email-based age checks, Facial age estimation, Identity document and face scan, Credit card, Mobile phone number
Deployment scenarios

Four ways to deploy background age checks
