With statistics revealing high rates of underage exposure to pornography in Spain, global and European initiatives, including the new EU Digital Services Act (DSA), are enforcing stricter age verification measures.
Bouncer Digital‘s app utilizes biometric facial recognition and AI to prevent identity fraud, scanning over 1,500 official documents from 250 countries in 138 languages. The user’s digital identity, created through the app, enables or restricts access to age-restricted online content, operating securely from the user’s mobile device.
The process is straightforward and secure. To access an adult website, users download the free Bouncer Digital app, available for iOS and Android, with no registration required. The app then guides them through a selfie for biometric reading, official document scanning, and NFC technology to read the document’s chip. After identity validation, the app grants or denies access to the content.
Jorge Bardón, CEO of Bouncer Digital, emphasizes the urgent need for stricter global and local regulations to protect minors from various adult-oriented sectors, including pornography, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling. Bouncer Digital’s solution offers companies a way to anticipate regulatory compliance and ensures a secure ecosystem for personal data.
The app respects user privacy and data security, aligning with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). User data is anonymized during the validation process, ensuring no usage by Bouncer Digital or third parties. The mobile device only shares an anonymous approval or rejection based on the user’s age when accessing adult content, maintaining personal data confidentiality and non-trackability in future browsing sessions.
