On-device Facial Age Estimation

Your face never leaves your device

Never stored. Never shared. Never seen

What it means for you

Built with Privacy by Design

Your data never leaves your device

All processing happens locally on your phone. Your face is analyzed on your device, and then the image is immediately deleted.

Done in seconds

No forms. No ID uploads. No waiting. The check takes seconds and uses your device's camera, similar to unlocking your phone with your face.

Accurate for everyone

Calibrated to work reliably across different ages, lighting conditions, and backgrounds. Designed to be fair regardless of who you are or where you are.

We can't identify you

This is age estimation only. The system cannot determine your identity, name, gender, ethnicity, or any other personal attribute. It produces an estimation on your age, nothing more.

How it works

Four steps. Seconds long. Fully private

From the moment you start the check to the moment access is granted, your face is processed entirely on your device. No uploads, no servers, no exceptions.

01

Start the check

When you access age-restricted content or services, you'll be asked to complete a quick age verification.

02

A quick selfie scan

Your camera briefly activates and the age estimation runs directly on your device. The process is automatic and takes only a few seconds.

03

Age is estimated on your phone

The estimation happens entirely on your phone. No face template is uploaded or sent anywhere; your device does all the work and the result is instant.

04

Access is confirmed

If you meet the required age threshold, access is granted. Importantly, no personal information is shared with the platform.

If the check isn't conclusive

In some cases, additional verification may be needed

If the age estimation is not conclusive, you may be asked to complete an additional verification step using a government-issued ID.

In that case, the system verifies your date of birth and compares the ID photo to your selfie to confirm the document belongs to you. The process is fully automated, with no human review involved, and is designed to minimize unnecessary exposure or retention of personal data. All images and information are deleted immediately.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Does Incode see my face?+
No. Your facial image never leaves your device. It is analyzed locally and immediately deleted. Incode does not have access to your facial image.
What happens to my face scan after the check?+
It's deleted from your device the moment the estimation is complete. There is no image file stored anywhere, not on your device, not on any server.
Is my data used to train AI?+
No. The data from your age check is used only to produce your result in that session. It is never used for model training, profiling, or any secondary purpose.
Can this identify me?+
No. The system estimates your approximate age from your appearance only. It cannot determine your identity, name, gender, ethnicity, or any other personal characteristic.
How does Incode estimate my age?+
Incode's age estimation is powered by proprietary machine learning models developed entirely in-house over more than 10 years. We don't rely on models from external vendors or third-party providers. Every component of the technology is built and trained by Incode's own team. The model analyzes facial features to produce an approximate age estimate, and runs entirely on your device.
Is Incode's technology compliant with privacy regulations?+
Yes. Incode's on-device age estimation is designed to align with global privacy frameworks, including GDPR, COPPA, and the UK Online Safety Act. Because no biometric data ever leaves your device, the architecture satisfies the most stringent data minimization requirements by design, not by policy. For full details, see the Incode Trust Center.
What if it thinks I'm the wrong age?+
The system is built for accuracy, but if the result is uncertain, you may be offered an alternative verification path or an appeal process, depending on the platform.
