Age verification can be challenging for employees who must quickly decide when to ask for identification. Age Guardian, a Quebec innovation, aims to support them in making this decision, making the process simpler and more consistent.

The technology also prioritizes privacy: no photos are recorded, no personal or biometric data is stored, and no Internet connection is required.
