- Visitors tap a button and speak for a few seconds to receive an age verification decision without government ID, facial scan, or account, completing in under 30 seconds on any device with a microphone.
- Age verification is increasingly required by regulators in the US, UK, EU, and Australia, moving beyond self-declaration checkboxes, which are now prohibited.
- AGEWARDEN analyzes pitch, cadence, and vocal patterns to determine if a user is old enough, encrypting and deleting audio after processing without storing voiceprints or identifying information.
- The system operates in a sandboxed iframe with process-level isolation, ensuring websites never access voice data, and uses TLS 1.3 with secure authentication.
- Pricing is based on graduated bands with lower costs per verification at higher volumes, no setup fees or minimums, and includes 100 free verifications upfront with monthly billing for actual usage.
