Overview

VerifyMy is an age-verification and age-estimation platform that allows organizations to determine whether users meet required age thresholds (such as 18+) based on privacy-preserving signals like email address reputation. Persona’s integration with VerifyMy enables customers to initiate VerifyMy age checks, retrieve verification results, and automate compliance workflows directly within Persona.

This integration helps organizations comply with increasingly strict global age-verification regulations while keeping user friction low. It is especially valuable for social media platforms, gaming companies, and other digital services that must prove compliance with requirements under laws like the UK's Online Safety Act, EU DSA, and U.S. age-restriction regulations.

Benefits

Low-Friction Age Estimation: Leverage VerifyMy’s email-based age estimation method to determine age thresholds without requiring sensitive documents.

Automated Decisioning: Automatically escalate, approve, or restrict access in Persona based on the VerifyMy age estimation result.

Persona’s VerifyMy integration supports automated age-verification flows and real-time result retrieval. Key capabilities include:

• Start Verification Session: Launch VerifyMy’s age-verification or age-estimation process using email, ID scan, mobile, or other supported verification methods.
