Age estimation employs algorithms and technologies to predict a user's age based on various data points, such as facial features or behavioural patterns.

OBS

Age estimation is not precise: Age estimation systems are best operated with a buffer. For instance, where a requirement exists to restrict access for any user under 18, an age estimation service could estimate whether that person is over 21 (a 3-year buffer), rejecting access ... for anyone deemed to be under 21.
