Yes, it really is. Most digital identity providers require a government-issued credential to be used to provide age verification. This means that when that authentication occurs, that activity is logged against a third-party database. Though the information may be encrypted, there remains the possibility of that event being revealed through negligence or nefarious actions.
With Privacy Guardian, we do not use government-issued credentials to do age verification. Our AI-based tech is able to use the camera in a user's phone or webcam to do a live age check based solely on an instant facial scan. Our system provides up to 99.5% accuracy without logging or storing any information or imagery of the user being verified.
So, yes. Privacy Guardian really is private. It's in our name and we are committed to protecting user privacy while promoting age-appropriate online activity.
