COPID Verify's answer

COPID Verify is different mainly because it’s built for high-traffic 18+ platforms with a privacy-first, session-based model so you can enforce age gates without turning verification into “user identification” or building a user database.

Here’s what’s genuinely unique about it:

• Session token, not user identity: you don’t get a profile or a stored “verified user.” You get a short-lived, server-verifiable proof for that single access attempt/session, then it expires.
• No image retention: the flow is designed so face images aren’t stored; data is kept only briefly for operational needs (TTL) and then deleted.
• Conservative “borderline” policy: uncertain outcomes are denied by default (safer by design). If you want higher conversion, you can enable an optional document fallback as a second layer.
• Merchant-friendly integration: you can integrate it like an access-control layer (think: “check → decision → token”) instead of running a full KYC-style onboarding flow.
• Built around EU-style compliance needs: it’s meant to help operators meet age-assurance requirements while minimizing collected data and reducing friction for adults.

COPID Verify's answer

A buyer should choose COPID Verify over many competitors when they want age gating at scale without turning it into a KYC/identity program.

• It’s built for B2B “access control,” not user onboarding. You get a fast decision + a short-lived, server-verifiable token tied to the session (pass/deny), instead of collecting and managing a user identity profile.
• Lower privacy surface area. COPID positions itself around no user accounts and no image storage in the standard flow, which reduces the amount of sensitive data you (and your users) have to worry about.
• Borderline handling is straightforward. COPID’s model is “deny if uncertain” with an optional document fallback for borderline cases, useful if you want a safety-first default but still have a path to recover good users.
• Cost/value for high volume. COPID markets volume-based, pay-per-verification pricing (indicative €0.01–€0.08 depending on volume/risk/SLA), which is often what adult platforms care about most: cost per successful access.

COPID Verify's answer

COPID Verify’s primary audience is B2B teams that run 18+ services and need a fast, privacy-preserving way to block minors at the point of access.

In practice, that usually means:

• Adult / 18+ platforms and publishers (high-traffic sites where conversion and latency matter).
• Compliance-first operators who need an age-check that returns a simple “over 18 / not over 18” result and fits “double-anonymity” style requirements (the verifier shouldn’t know which site, the site shouldn’t receive identifying user data).
• The internal buyers are typically Trust & Safety, Compliance/Legal, Product, and Engineering, people who care about measurable enforcement, low user friction, and a clean integration pattern (decision + short-lived token for the session).
