Gartner states, “By 2027, 90% of online vendors providing age-restricted products and offerings will have implemented age verification and consent tracking to comply with new online data privacy and security regulations.”
Protecting Minors
Age verification safeguards minors from unauthorized access, cyberbullying, and contact with online predators.
Compliance with Laws
Aligns with regulatory frameworks, surpassing basic legal requirements to ensure a safer online environment.
Beyond Simple Checks
The era of the mere checkbox for age confirmation is over; recent laws and litigation risks demand more sophisticated methods.
KYC and Age Verification
Essential for a safer digital space, these processes go beyond regulatory needs to protect users of all ages.
Shared Responsibility
As digital community members, platforms and businesses must work together to secure our online spaces.
