Frequently asked questions

Do you store dates of birth?

No. The circuit outputs a yes/no against a configured threshold; no DOB field exists in the audit schema.

Which regulations drive demand?

UK Online Safety Act age assurance, EU Digital Services Act, and GDPR data minimisation principles.

Can proofs be reused?

Spent-proof registries prevent replay across sessions when one-time age checks are required.
