Minors Exclusion Policy and COPPA Compliance

1. Service Scope and Target Audience

AgeVerif.com is a service owned and operated by PlanetSeason. The AgeVerif.com Services are designed exclusively for users aged eighteen (18) years or older.

This service is intended for platforms requiring age verification to access content or services restricted to adults.

AgeVerif does not market, promote, or offer its services to users under eighteen (18) years of age and, in compliance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), does not target children under thirteen (13) years of age.

2. Data Collection Practices

No personal data or persistent identifiers are knowingly collected or retained from users under thirteen (13) years of age.

The following measures are implemented:

  • age verification checks prior to storing or processing personal data or persistent identifiers;
  • facial age estimation performed exclusively on the user’s device, with no image transmission or storage;
  • use of other age verification methods as described in the Privacy Policy;
  • pseudonymized logs and encrypted infrastructure to protect all collected data.

3. Exemption Justification

Pursuant to Part 312 of Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule), AgeVerif is not subject to parental consent requirements or children’s data protection obligations for the following reasons:

  • the platform is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age;
  • PlanetSeason has no knowledge of data being collected from users under thirteen (13) years of age;
  • age controls and verification mechanisms are in place to prevent minors from accessing the service;
  • any accidental collection of data from users under thirteen (13) years of age will result in immediate deletion upon discovery, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4. Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy

The following statement appears in AgeVerif’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy:

« The AgeVerif.com Services are not intended for persons under eighteen (18) years of age. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children under thirteen (13) years of age. If such data is identified, it will be immediately deleted. »

5. Risks and mitigation measures

  • A minor user provides a false age: facial estimation and document verification prevent access.
  • Data collected before age is known: no data stored before age verification system (pre-screening logic).
  • Legal liability under COPPA: exclusion by design and Actual Knowledge defence.
  • Retention of a child’s data after verification: automatic deletion upon detection of a minor.

6. Review and Compliance

This policy is reviewed whenever significant system updates occur. Oversight is carried out by the internal compliance team and the external Data Protection Officer (DPO).
