TrustElevate, a B2B SaaS age-checking and parental consent service, has been selected to participate in Vantage’s Female Founder SaaS Accelerator program. TrustElevate provides a service for businesses to verify the age of their users and obtain parental consent for data processing and in-app purchases.

TrustElevate’s mission is to create a safer internet for children and young people by enabling platforms to enhance children’s experiences online, support their right to participate in environments designed to delight, excite and educate children and support children’s wellbeing. The company’s service, on behalf of online platforms, verifies the age of their users and obtains parental consent for data processing and in-app purchases. This helps to enhance children’s experiences and protect them from harmful content and unwanted contact with adult strangers. It also ensures companies build trust, protect and increase revenue and comply with regulations.

TrustElevate’s age-eligibility verification methods:

  • TrustElevate requires minimal data points to verify a child’s age, such as their first and last name, date of birth, and for children under 12, a parent’s mobile number. For children 13 and older, their own phone number is required. This data is hashed on the user’s device and checked against authoritative data sources that are also hashed. TrustElevate’s age verification process is the most privacy-preserving way to verify a child, teen or adults age. TrustElevate’s process does not require document scanning or biometrics, and it only shares age eligibility status with businesses, not date of birth information.
  • A verified parent, teen or adult can approve or deny permission for companies to process their data. No personal data is shared with companies that use TrustElevate. Simply a Yes or No to processing data.

TrustElevate’s service is easy to use and can be used to verify the age of users on social media, gaming, edtech, streaming, fintech, and e-commerce platforms. This makes it a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes.

“We are delighted to be selected for the Vantage’s Female Founder SaaS Accelerator program which will provide us with access to mentors, investors, customers, fellow founders and other resources that can help us to scale our business and make a real difference in the lives of children.” Dr Rachel O’Connell, founder and CEO, TrustElevate
