Our solution: how does it work?

Digital identity control must address a dual challenge in terms of fundamental freedoms: the protection of individuals’ personal data and the safeguarding of the freedom of enterprises engaging in online activities. Only double anonymity ensures the respect for these fundamental rights.

Opale.io revolutionizes the age verification process on age restricted websites by ensuring privacy-preserving, seamless verification. It leverages advanced cryptographic mechanisms, like zero-knowledge proofs and group signatures, to facilitate double-blind age verification. Users get verified by trusted identity providers without disclosing their personal details to the visited website nor revealing their browsing activity to the identity providers.

Our user-friendly solution integrates effortlessly with websites and verification systems, offering a frictionless experience for users and maintaining a low bounce rate.

Opale.io uniquely satisfies regulatory requirements wherever you operate while prioritizing user privacy and experience.

We enable the Double Anonymity principle, recommended by the French CNIL to guaranty privacy

Acting as a trusted third party, our platform ensures triple privacy protection in accordance with French CNIL’s recommendations:

  • The website or service requiring age verification can confirm that the user is of legal age without accessing their identity.
  • The age verification provider may potentially know the user’s identity but does not have access to information about the visited site.
  • Our platform securely transmits age verification to the site without having knowledge of the user’s identity.

Thus, none of the parties involved possess both the user’s identity and the details of the visited site. We utilize the concept of group signatures, developed as an open-source solution by CNIL’s digital innovation lab, to further enhance data privacy.

In addition to guaranteeing user confidentiality, our solution also enables digital identity providers to access a large user base in France, creating new market opportunities.
