Glossary

This section defines the key roles and terms used throughout the AgeGO documentation.

AgeGO Business Account

A business account created to access AgeGO services, configure Sites, and manage integrations. This account is intended for clients (businesses) and not for end users.

Client

A business, publisher, platform, or service provider that integrates AgeGO as an age-verification solution on their website or application. Clients are responsible for integrating AgeGO and enforcing age restrictions according to applicable regulations.

Cross-site Automatic Verification

A mechanism that allows a previously verified user to be recognized across multiple AgeGO-enabled Sites using a secure verification token, reducing the need for repeated age-verification prompts.

End User

An individual who visits a website or application that uses AgeGO and is asked to verify their age in order to access age-restricted content or services.

Returning User

An end user who has already completed age verification and can be recognized without repeating the full verification flow, depending on the integration and session context.

Site

A website or application operated by a Client and integrated with AgeGO.

Each Site is identified by a unique ASI value and represents a single integration context.

Underage User

An end user who does not meet the required age threshold and is therefore denied access to age-restricted content or services.

Verification Flow

The sequence of steps an end user goes through once age verification is triggered, from the initial prompt to a successful or failed outcome.

Verification Method

A specific mechanism used by AgeGO to assess whether an end user meets the required age threshold (for example: selfie-based estimation, credit card verification, or digital identity checks).
