The Challenge
The age of 13 is not a Verification
In 2024 alone, 33 states or countries changed their digital age of consent.
If your age gate is hardcoded to 13, you're out of compliance in most of the world.
Every country is different
COPPA says 13. GDPR varies from 13 to 16. Australia uses 15. Korea, Brazil, and dozens more set their own thresholds — and they keep changing.
Spreadsheets don't scale
Legal researches the thresholds, engineers hardcode them, and everyone hopes nothing changed since the last deploy.
States have rules too
California differs from Texas. 200+ jurisdictions including US state and EU member state subdivisions — updated monthly.
How It Works
One API call. Every jurisdiction.
Pass a jurisdiction code. Get back thresholds, approved methods, and classification logic.
Query requirements
Call /age-gate/get requirements with a jurisdiction code. Returns consent age, civil age, and approved collection methods.
Collect age signal
Use the approved methods — date of birth, ageslider, or platform account — to collect agecompliantly.
Check & classify
Call /age-gate/check . Returns PASS, CHALLENGE (VPC needed), or PROHIBITED with privacy-preserving age categories.
Three Classifications
AgeKit classifies every user into one of three categories
Privacy-preserving categories that let you tailor experiences appropriately — without exposing sensitive data.
Digital Minor
Below the digital age ofconsent. Requires parentalconsent for data collection.Triggers VPC flow.
Digital Youth
Users between digital consent age and legal adulthood. May access age-appropriate content.
Digital Adult
At or above the age of majority.Full access. Thresholds vary: 18in the US, 19 in Korea, 20 in Japan.
