Traditional online age verification methods, while effective, can be repetitive, time-consuming, and costly. That is why Ondato has released OnAge, a reusable and safe age verification method, fit for any company that brings significant benefits to both businesses and consumers.
What is OnAge?
Combining anonymity and security, OnAge minimises the need for repeat verification, reducing the costs of compliance. This method does not store any personally identifiable information, which keeps your customers anonymous while ensuring they are the appropriate age.
How does OnAge Reusable Age Verification Work?
Verify Age
Customers confirm their age by taking a selfie. Our system uses facial age estimation and analyses biometric data to place users in an accurate age category.
Maintain anonymity
Using unique internet consumer identification technology, the system only remembers the fact of whether the customer is old enough.
PIN code
Customers create 4-digit PIN codes, which will allow them to access the site for a time period chosen by you.
Authentication with PIN
Customers can input the PIN code to access age-restricted content by using the results of the previous age verification.
Repeat verification
Customers repeat age verification after the time period you set to ensure this method stays secure.
Why OnAge?
Complete Anonymity: Unlike many other age verification solutions, OnAge remembers the fact of whether a user is old enough to access a service without keeping any personally identifiable data, making the process secure and private.
Lowered Operational Costs: By reusing a verified age status, businesses save on verification costs. Ondato’s reusable age verification technology allows for one-time verification that covers a set period, drastically reducing costs.
Streamlined Processes: Reusable verification reduces the workload for staff or automated systems, allowing businesses to allocate resources more efficiently. This can be especially beneficial for e-commerce sites, subscription-based platforms, or digital services that experience high traffic.
Reduced Friction: OnAge removes the friction from repeat verification by employing reusable digital identity credentials, making it easier for users to interact with the platform while still respecting age limitations without the need for any additional downloads. It can also be easily integrated into existing systems for any company.
Customisable Time Frames: Service providers can set the duration of the reusable verification based on their needs. For example, a streaming service might require users to reverify their age every six months, while an e-commerce platform may set a shorter verification period to comply with regional regulations.
Adherence to Industry Standards: OnAg was built with compliance in mind, meeting the requirements of international data protection and age-restriction regulations like GDPR, COPPA, and AVMSD. This ensures that businesses can easily navigate complex legal landscapes while prioritising user protection during the onboarding process.
The Future of Age Verification is OnAge
OnAge will reshape the way businesses approach age-restricted content and services, bringing benefits that extend beyond just compliance. It enhances user convenience, strengthens data privacy, reduces costs, and offers a flexible solution that businesses can adapt to their needs. As technology advances, reusable age verification will likely become the industry standard, empowering businesses to safeguard young audiences while creating an engaging, privacy-respecting experience for all users. With Ondato, you can transform your processes today.
