AgeLocator has announced the launch of its enterprise-grade age verification technology for businesses operating in the United Kingdom, specifically designed to meet the requirements of the UK Online Safety Act 2023 and the EU Digital Services Act.
-- The recently launched platform introduces a live deletion feature that provides verifiable proof of data removal. This supports organisations in maintaining GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance while adhering to the new age verification laws that came into effect in July 2025.

The recently enacted Online Safety Act requires online platforms offering age-restricted content to implement robust verification measures to prevent access by under-18s. Non-compliance with the new rules carries significant risk: according to Ofcom, UK businesses failing to implement adequate age verification may face fines of up to £18 million, as well as reputational damage that could impact advertising and payment partnerships.
However, despite the risks, many online services have struggled to adopt successful verification measures due to public distrust over the storage of sensitive data. Industry research shows that more than 60 percent of users abandon verification processes when unsure of how their information is handled. Up until now, providers have relied on privacy policies without offering verifiable evidence of data deletion, leaving both businesses and users vulnerable.
AgeLocator addresses this issue by introducing a live deletion transparency system. This useful feature allows companies to direct customers to a dedicated page where verification photos are deleted in real time, providing visible assurance rather than a generic privacy statement. This immediate transparency helps businesses overcome the trust barrier that has previously hindered compliance efforts or cost them customers.
The AgeLocator system combines government ID verification, biometric checks with anti-spoofing safeguards. Data processing automatically occurs within UK and EU jurisdictions, with deletion policies implemented in under 30 seconds.
Furthermore, the technology integrates seamlessly with existing platforms and blocks access to restricted content until age verification is successfully completed, ensuring that organisations remain compliant with new legal obligations.
Mark Moran, founder of AgeLocator, stated: “When customers ask what happens to their ID photos, every competitor points to a privacy policy. We are the first provider globally that enables businesses to offer customers a URL showing live deletions happening, which removes the trust barrier that has caused high verification abandonment rates.”
AgeLocator’s launch positions it as a serious compliance partner for adult content providers, age-restricted e-commerce platforms, and other organisations affected by the Online Safety Act and Digital Services Act.
