Online Minor Safety Through Risk-based Decisions, Delivered in Seconds
A pop-up screen that asks if a website visitor is over 18 does not qualify as age verification and is no longer enough to prove due diligence. The regulations surrounding age-restricted commerce — especially in customer-not-present environments — are complex and continually changing.
If your business involves age-restricted products, it's vitally important to keep those products and services intended for adults out of the reach of underage children.Jumio extracts the date of birth from a variety of government-issued IDs, which can be used to calculate the current age of the person creating the account or making an online purchase.
Jumio requires a valid government-issued ID and a selfie, which is a powerful deterrent to minors, who prefer not to use their own likeness if they’re trying to use a parent’s ID to make an online purchase.
Given the rise of spoofing (the act of using a photo, video or a different substitute for an authorized person's face), Jumio employs state-of-the-art liveness detection to ensure the person creating the account or making an online purchase is physically present.
When the user logs in or makes an online purchase, the user takes a fresh selfie and a new biometric template is created, which is then compared to the original template. It's fast, reliable and helps provide peace of mind that the person is why they claim to be and of legal age. It can also be deployed in-store.
