The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a new Aadhaar app that can be used for age verification under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) without sharing any additional data, a senior government official said. "We frequently contend within the ambit of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act is age verification and how age verification will be done. I think we are in a position where, with the Aadhaar app, there is actually a way that age gating can seamlessly apply without oversharing the data," Mr. Krishnan said. The age verification will also help online platforms in cutting down access to age inappropriate content or products for children. Aadhaar Act prohibits storage of Aadhaar data in any form, including photocopy by private entities.
