Privacy-Preserving Age Verification Gateway
0
Verify user age for regulatory compliance without collecting IDs, biometrics, or personal data.

The Problem
New laws like KOSA, the UK Online Safety Act, and state-level mandates are forcing platforms to verify user ages, but current solutions require collecting government IDs, facial scans, or credit cards. This creates massive privacy risks, security breach exposure, and erodes online anonymity for both adults and minors.
Potential Solution
A zero-knowledge age verification API that platforms can integrate to confirm a user meets an age threshold without storing or transmitting personal identity documents. Using cryptographic attestation, device-level age signals, and privacy-preserving protocols, the gateway returns only a pass/fail age check—never retaining biometric data, IDs, or birthdates on its servers.
Why Now?
A wave of age verification legislation (KOSA, UK Online Safety Act, California AB-1043, FTC COPPA incentives, state-level OS mandates) is creating urgent compliance demand across thousands of platforms, while public backlash against ID-based verification is intensifying the need for privacy-first alternatives.
