Age Assurance
Route a person into the appropriate journey when age-related treatment matters.
A single journey may not be appropriate for every age group. People can be shown a journey that does not match the organization’s age-related policy.
What Age Assurance does
Age assurance applies age-related information or rules to determine which consent journey should be presented.
A single journey may not be appropriate for every age group.
It collects or evaluates available age information and routes the person to the relevant standard, restricted, or guardian path.
Why Age Assurance matters
A single journey may not be appropriate for every age group.
People can be shown a journey that does not match the organization’s age-related policy.
Age treatment can be left to inconsistent manual judgement or untracked page logic.
How Age Assurance works
- Request or receive age-related information.
- Apply the journey’s age rule.
- Choose the appropriate route.
- Record the routing result where needed.
- Send the person to the next experience.
Key capabilities
- Age-related routing
- Rule-based outcomes
- Restricted-path handling
- Guardian-path referral
- Route result records
Configuration & controls
Define age thresholds, acceptable inputs, fallback routes, retry behavior, and what is retained about the routing decision.
Workflow & architecture
Age assurance chooses a route; guardian verification and guardian consent govern separate relationship and decision steps.
Age assurance selects the appropriate route based on age-related rules. It does not verify a guardian relationship or capture the guardian-linked consent decision.
Integrations
It can receive age-related inputs from a journey and return a route outcome. It does not claim a particular age-estimation or identity technology.
Security & audit
Keep the rule version, available age input category, route selected, time, and any review decision needed for the workflow.
Implementation
- Define age-related policies with owners.
- Map routes.
- Design fallback experiences.
- Test threshold boundaries.
- Review records for unintended routing.
