Age estimation explained

Age estimation determines age based on behavioural characteristics or physical features, using minimal personal data to estimate a user’s age to a high degree of accuracy. Designed with data minimisation and privacy-by-design principles, innovative age estimation methods provide a low-friction, privacy-preserving and inclusive alternative to more traditional age verification methods.
