Privately Blog: Expertise in Age Verification and Online Child Safety

We are seeing significant progress in the UK with AgeAI, our automated and accurate facial age estimation solution. We've agreed a partnership with the action group Our Vape Advocacy to provide a version of AgeAI to its UK members.

Privately is helping build an "age-aware" Internet that helps online and offline services deliver age appropriate experiences, and protect children and other vulnerable groups from online harms. AI-based age estimation solutions provide the key technology that enables businesses to action these objectives.

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase vapes in the UK. Of course, that doesn’t mean that many under-18s try to do so, and some of those do so successfully.
