Incode Receives ACCS Certification for Its Age Verification Solution
SAN FRANCISCO — June 24, 2024 — Incode Technologies Inc., a leading provider of world-class identity verification and authentication solutions for global enterprises, today announced it has achieved independent certification for its age verification solution. Incode has met the rigorous standards required by the Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS), an accredited body that tests and certifies online and offline solutions that check age and identity. These certifications demonstrate that Incode’s solution adheres to regulations in the U.S., UK and other regions, and verify that it’s unbiased and provides a high level of confidence for enterprises and users.
Incode’s solution incorporates robust and privacy-centric methods including document-based verification, facial age estimation and database-based verification to provide a custom and tailored solution to any business that needs to verify the age of its users, or to comply with online child safety standards. Incode’s age estimation technology has also been top-rated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), outperforming other companies in accuracy in key categories, as seen in NIST’s recent testing, and demonstrating Incode’s ability to save companies millions by verifying age through a cost efficient methodology.
By achieving ACCS certification, Incode demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding children from accessing age-restricted products, content and services – and keeping its customers compliant to avoid costly fines and lawsuits. ACCS evaluates providers across three parts: policy, quality and technical evaluations. This certification ensures that robust age verification measures, including parental consent options, are in place to prevent minors from accessing harmful content or products. ACCS-certified solutions are held to strict data protection standards, meaning users can trust that their personal information is handled responsibly and securely. ACCS also evaluates the user-friendliness of the age verification process, ensuring it’s not overly intrusive or cumbersome.
With Incode’s certified solution, customers gain:
- Confidence about legal compliance – ACCS certification helps businesses adhere to age-related regulations, reducing the risk of fines or legal action.
- Demonstrated commitment to responsible business practices and consumer safety, to build trust and loyalty.
- Improved conversion rates and revenue growth with a user-friendly process that is adaptable to various international regulations, making it easier for businesses to expand globally while maintaining compliance.
Ricardo Amper, CEO, Incode Technologies, said: “Online child safety is essential to Incode, so this accreditation was the next logical step in our plan. We had to undergo a rigorous evaluation process, proving our technology meets stringent standards. This comprehensive assessment means that when people see the ACCS certification, they can be confident that Incode’s age verification solution is trustworthy, effective and prioritizes the safety and privacy of its users, while ensuring its business customers are compliant to avoid costly fines and lawsuits.”
