The adult website becomes a pioneer in implementing this technology to protect minors from accessing inappropriate content through the solution proposed by Bouncer Digital, which meets the strictest child protection requirements and leverages the latest technologies such as AI to provide faster and more secure processing.
According to data from the website itself, Bouncer’s AI-powered Age Estimation and Verification combination allows for more agile and secure access for users, and reduces traffic loss by up to 50% compared to other solutions such as apps or e-Wallets, which generate a much larger drop due to their slow and inflexible process.
Spanish startup Bouncer Digital announces that it has reached an agreement with the leading Spanish adult content website CumLouder to implement its AI-verified age verification system. CumLouder is one of the main adult websites managed by Techpump, which thanks to this implementation becomes a pioneer in access security to adult pages and in the protection of minors, demonstrating the company’s ethical commitment to an increasingly evident social need.
“Given the growing need to implement age verification systems on digital platforms, Bouncer Digital positions itself as the most effective and accessible alternative thanks to its biometric technology and AI-based KYC,” says Jorge Bardón, CEO of Bouncer Digital.
Bouncer Digital has developed a universal technological solution for digital validation of identities and users’ age verification. Through the use of biometric technology for facial recognition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) to prevent impersonation, and scanning of official documents, the Spanish company creates a digital identity for users that allows or denies access to products and services restricted to adults online. All this is done from the user’s own mobile device, which handles all operations from a secure environment.
Unlike digital wallet systems, which require a manual process from the beginning of the verification process with the mandatory presentation of official documents, Bouncer allows for much faster, anonymous, and frictionless verification, as it uses biometrics with age estimation as a first step, optimizing the user experience and reducing the impact on web traffic.
Key differences: biometrics vs. digital wallet
While other methods such as the Digital Wallet involve collecting official documents and a cumbersome process for the user, Bouncer Digital’s system offers a more agile approach through two key steps:
Age Estimation: A facial scan through the phone’s camera that, in just ten seconds and using biometrics and AI, determines whether the user is of legal age, without storing any personal data and with a 99.5% accuracy rate.
Age Verification (only if necessary): If the age estimation is not passed, additional proof will be requested by scanning an official identity document to ensure regulatory compliance and limit the documentary part only to some users.
This hybrid validation process ensures that only those who really need a more accurate age verification have to provide additional data. This represents a great benefit for websites, as it reduces user abandonment by up to 50% compared to other solutions and significantly improves agility in the user experience.
CumLouder has been testing Bouncer Digital’s system for some time, and according to their own analyses, they have obtained much more successful results in implementing age verifications without affecting their users’ experience compared to other verification systems tested.
Less friction, more security and privacy
The debate about privacy and the viability of traditional age verification methods has generated uncertainty in the industry. Recent tests on adult content pages conducted by CumLouder have shown that current identity verification methods can cause a traffic loss of up to 85%, but age verification systems such as digital wallets could generate a drop of up to 96%, which represents a serious impact for digital platforms.
“At Bouncer, we have developed an efficient solution that resolves age validation regulatory compliance with a smooth and private user experience. Our age estimation and verification technology protects minors without the need to store sensitive data or require long and tedious processes,” says Jorge Bardón, CEO of Bouncer Digital. “According to comparative studies carried out by CumLouder, our solution is not only chosen more than 4 times more than Wallets, but also more user-friendly and fluid for users, allowing quick and secure access to content without compromising their privacy.”
The alliance between CumLouder and Bouncer Digital marks a milestone in online age verification and reinforces Bouncer’s position as an industry leader. Other platforms are expected to follow the same path to ensure a safe and barrier-free user experience.
“Half of children under 13 in Spain have consumed pornography at least once, and 7 out of 10 teenagers do so regularly, according to a Save The Children report. At the European level, the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) has already come into force, which proposes significant sanctions for those websites with adult content that do not comply with the regulation and do not prioritize the protection of minors online,” concludes Jorge Bardón.
Bouncer, the ideal flexible option for companies in various sectors and regulators
Bouncer Digital’s age verification system is already being used in other sectors such as online sales of alcoholic beverages or vending for the sale of alcohol products, energy drinks, or electronic cigarettes/vapes, allowing them to comply with regulations to prevent minors from accessing their products without affecting the experience of their users. The flexibility and efficiency of its model make it the best alternative for companies seeking to adapt to new regulations without losing competitiveness.
“We are facing a major problem that puts minors at risk and continues to worsen year after year due to the lack of restrictions on content for adults. It is necessary to have stricter regulations, both globally and locally, to protect minors as soon as possible not only from pornography but also from other sectors such as alcohol, tobacco, or gambling,” says Jorge Bardón, CEO of Bouncer Digital. “Solutions like ours have already allowed many companies in these sectors to anticipate regulation and their users to have a secure ecosystem for their personal data.”
