Overview

To comply with evolving global regulatory requirements on age verification for accessing explicit materials, Blue.XXX has implemented mandatory age confirmation procedures for users in multiple jurisdictions. These measures reflect international trends toward preventing underage access to adult content online and align with specific laws and regulations in various countries and states.

 

Key Updates

Mandatory Verification: Effective immediately or by stipulated deadlines, users from regulated locations must complete identity confirmation before viewing restricted content.

Legal Basis: These measures comply with local laws such as the UK's Online Safety Act (2023), various U.S. state laws (e.g., Louisiana, Texas), France's SREN Law (with double-blind anonymity) and other national legislation mandating "highly effective" age assurance for platforms hosting adult content.

 

Implementation Rationale

New legal obligations worldwide require providers to prevent minors from accessing pornographic material. Studies show children are often exposed to explicit content at young ages (e.g., around 13 in the UK), necessitating robust safeguards to protect their mental and emotional well-being.

 

User Impact

Verification Process: Users must authenticate their age via our third-party provider VerifyMyAge, which offers multiple confirmation methods:

  • Photo ID and facial recognition matching
  • Credit card validation
  • Phone number
  • AI-driven age estimation (for users appearing 25+)

Steps:

  • 1. Login or register for an account.
  • 2. Follow VerifyMyAge's prompts to select a verification method.
  • 3. Submit required documentation or biometric data.
  • 4. Await automated confirmation, typically within minutes

These procedures are designed to be privacy-conscious and compliant with data protection laws such as GDPR and COPPA in the U.S

 

Compliance Documentation

Blue.XXX maintains auditable records demonstrating adherence to applicable laws, including:

  • Data protection protocols
  • Verification methodology
  • Ongoing system evaluations to meet evolving regulatory standards

 

Privacy and Security

VerifyMyAge employs strong encryption (e.g., 256-bit) and anonymizes data after verification. Uploaded documents are not retained post-confirmation, ensuring user privacy and security.

Continuous Improvement

Our age assurance framework undergoes regular reviews to incorporate technological advancements and regulatory updates, ensuring sustained compliance with laws across the UK, U.S. states, France and other jurisdictions.

This approach ensures that users worldwide experience consistent and legally compliant age verification processes tailored to the requirements of their specific location.


Note: Failure to complete verification will restrict access to age-restricted content. For detailed verification instructions, consult VerifyMyAge's guidelines directly.
