Persona Selfie Age Estimation found to meet the ACCS technical requirements for age estimation technologies

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Persona announced that the Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) has certified Persona Selfie Age Estimation meets the requirements for an effective age estimation solution. Through their independent testing process, ACCS found that Persona Selfie Age Estimation reliably estimated 98% of 18 year olds as under 25. This certification reinforces the company's position as a leader in age assurance and identity solutions around the world.

Age assurance is critical to ensure online safety for minors. Regulations like the UK's Online Safety Act call for more stringent age assurance to protect minors from harmful experiences. The Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) evaluates age assurance solutions, providing confidence that certified solutions can be used to comply with stringent regulatory requirements.

In addition to ACCS-certified Selfie Age Estimation, Persona's age assurance suite includes government ID and database verifications, 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 protecting their data.

"Effective age assurance requires accurate assurance methods like Selfie Age Estimation. The ACCS certification – in addition to our configurable privacy controls and user-experience optimizations – underscores our commitment to protecting vulnerable users while helping organizations meet their compliance obligations," said Rick Song, CEO of Persona.
