Age assurance is a growing requirement for online safety, but one that comes with clear interdependencies with data protection. Requirements for highly effective age assurance have to be considered alongside data minimisation requirements under the GDPR. The limitations of working in silos must be overcome, and one way of doing so is via a multistakeholder dialogue that brings data protection regulators, safety regulators, academics, companies and advocacy groups together in one discussion. In this panel, you will hear about a dialogue on age assurance that kicked off under a WeProtect Global Alliance and CIPL banner in early 2024 and continues to gather together all those diverse stakeholders to progress shared, interdisciplinary thinking. You will hear the direction of the work undertaken so far, and also about how the multistakeholder approach itself could be a model for further topics where data protection obligations run close or overlap with other digital regulation.
