Age-Based Access Control

Age-Based Access Control, Powered by AI

Wink enforces age-based rules in real time using biometric signals, AI estimation, and verified identity—so you can stay compliant without slowing down the sale.

Smarter Access Starts with Smarter Signals

Regulations are strict. Wink makes compliance simple.

Our age-based access control solution uses biometric intelligence and real-time decisioning to enforce age thresholds dynamically across checkout, kiosks, delivery, and digital access points.

No manual ID checks. No guesswork. Just seamless enforcement built into the customer journey.

What You Can Control

Digital content (e.g. alcohol, gambling, adult material)

Product purchases (online or in-store)

App access, loyalty programs, or gated features

Venue entry or restricted areas in physical locations

Enforce Age with Two Intelligent Modes

Verified Age Token (Facial Biometric + ID Match)

Users verify once by linking a government-issued ID to a facial biometric. Wink stores a token—not the ID—so future age checks happen automatically via face scan.

Ideal for:

Repeat customers
Loyalty members
Regulated checkout and delivery

AI-Powered Age Estimation

For lightweight or anonymous interactions, Wink uses computer vision to estimate age in real time—no ID or identity required.

Ideal for:

Kiosk and vending machines
Digital content gating
First-touch experiences

Turnkey, Configurable Enforcement

Wink’s age access control integrates directly with your existing stack—no new hardware, no complicated builds.

You can:

Set custom thresholds by product, category, or region
Choose estimation, verified token, or a blended approach
Plug into any flow: POS, web, mobile, kiosk, delivery
Monitor compliance in real time
