Built for Industries Under Regulation

Active enforcement is here. Portal is purpose-built for each.

Adult Content Platforms

Primary Focus

Users on adult sites care about privacy above all else. Traditional AV methods create exactly the trail users want to avoid. Portal verifies age through a quick face scan — with document verification as a fallback — without creating any link to identity.

Browser-first: 5-second face scan for most users

Processed in a sealed enclave — never stored, never leaves

Built-in Lightning wallet for anonymous payments

NFC document scan fallback for edge cases

UK OSA / Ofcom EU DSA 25+ US States Australia eSafety

Social Media & Online Gaming

Social platforms and 18+ online games face mounting regulatory pressure globally. The UK Online Safety Act requires "highly effective age assurance" — not just a checkbox. Portal gives platforms a frictionless gate that satisfies regulators without alienating millions of users.

Age-gate specific content, communities, or entire platforms

Reusable credential — verify once, use across every Portal-integrated site

Meets Ofcom's "highly effective" standard for age assurance

UK OSA EU DSA COPPA (US) Australia OSA

Dating Platforms

Dating apps face dual pressure: verify users are old enough, and prove they're real. Portal's facial age estimation + liveness detection solves both in one step. Document verification is available as a fallback for any edge cases.

Age verification + liveness in a single 5-second flow

Anti-catfish: proves a real person is behind the screen

No biometric database — nothing to breach

UK OSA US State Laws

Fraud Prevention & Liveness Assurance

Active Conversations

Beyond age verification, Portal's liveness capture technology is a powerful anti-fraud tool. Marketplaces, fintech platforms, and e-commerce sites lose billions annually to fake accounts and synthetic identities. Portal proves a real human is behind the screen — without building a biometric database that becomes a target.

Liveness detection stops bots, deepfakes, and synthetic identities

Privacy-preserving: no PII stored, reduces GDPR/CCPA burden

Cryptographic credential proves real human without exposing identity

Works as a standalone layer or alongside existing KYC

KYC/AML GDPR eIDAS 2.0 PSD2

The Old Way Doesn't Work Anymore

Traditional verification creates the problems it's supposed to solve.

Traditional AV

Uploads ID documents to third-party servers

Stores biometric data — creates breach target

Links identity to site visits — privacy nightmare

30–60% drop-off at verification step

Government API calls expose user to state surveillance

Portal

Face scan in browser — document NFC as fallback only

Sealed enclave processing — nothing stored, ever

Unlinkable credential — no connection between visits

Sub-5-second flow preserves conversion rates

Zero government API calls — cryptographic proof only

Where Else Does Portal Work?

Alcohol, Tobacco & Vapes

Online retailers and delivery apps for age-restricted products need verification at checkout. One scan — age confirmed, order processed, no identity retained.

ENDS/Vape Laws Alcohol Delivery

iGaming

Online casinos, esports betting, and skill-based gaming platforms need robust age assurance at signup. Portal verifies age without the friction that kills conversion during onboarding flows.

UKGC MGA US State Gaming

Telehealth & Online Pharmacies

Telemedicine platforms prescribing controlled substances need to confirm patient age without adding friction to the consultation flow.

HIPAA Rx Verification

AI Companions & Chatbots

AI companion platforms face the same regulatory exposure as adult sites. Portal integrates without disrupting the conversational onboarding experience.

UK OSA EU AI Act

Online Gambling & Betting

UKGC-regulated platforms and US state-licensed operators need robust age assurance at onboarding that meets "highly effective" standards.

UKGC State Gaming

Financial Services & Crypto

Neobanks, crypto exchanges, and DeFi platforms need age verification as part of KYC. Portal provides a privacy-first layer that confirms age without the PII honeypot traditional KYC demands.

KYC/AML MiCA (EU) FCA

Same Architecture. Every Vertical.

One API, one integration — adapted to each industry's compliance needs.

Zero Data Retention

Verification happens inside a sealed enclave. The data is gone the moment the result is produced. No database to breach. No records to subpoena.

Two Verification Paths

Face scan in the browser for most users — under 5 seconds. NFC document scan via the Portal app as a fallback when facial estimation needs reinforcement.

Multi-Jurisdiction Compliance

One integration covers UK OSA, EU DSA, GDPR, US state laws, Australian eSafety, and emerging regulations. Built to the strictest standard — so every other is automatically covered.
