SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Persona announced that the German Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz, KJM) has positively evaluated Persona's age verification system (AVS). Based on this assessment, organizations can confidently use Persona's end to end identity platform to comply with the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors (JMStV).

The KJM has defined specific criteria that age verification systems must meet, and evaluated Persona as an overall concept of reliable age verification. The overall concept includes government ID and NFC verifications, selfie age estimation, and Reusable Personas to enable repeated age verifications across different services.

Persona also offers granular privacy controls and a customizable end-user experience. With Persona, organizations can implement a robust, streamlined age assurance system to prevent minors from accessing restricted content while also protecting their data.
