ComplyCube Sets the Standard in Age Verification Compliance with Zero Non-Conformities

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ComplyCube, a global leader in identity verification solutions, received the ACCS Technical Requirements for Age Check Systems and Data Protection and Privacy Certification, incorporating PAS 1296:2018 Code of Practice for Age Check Systems. The certification awarded by the Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) underscores ComplyCube’s unwavering commitment to the online protection of minors across various sectors.

This milestone is increasingly important in light of the surge in global regulatory actions and online safety concerns, emphasizing the need for robust age verification. The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) $170 million fine for COPPA violations in the US pinpoints the severity of non-compliance in protecting minors. In the UK, 45% of young internet users have encountered uncomfortable online content, emphasizing the need for adequate age controls. Similarly, Brazil’s new regulatory framework for sports betting, a market expected to reach a projected volume of $1.70bn by 2028, highlights the crucial role of age verification in online gaming.

A notable highlight is ComplyCube’s achievement of zero non-conformities, demonstrating the IDV SaaS platform’s adherence to the highest standards in Age Verification and data protection. This is particularly significant considering the increasingly stringent global regulations surrounding online safety, such as the:
