In Bulgaria, adult websites must comply with age verification laws outlined in the Child Protection Act to restrict access to individuals under 18 years old. These requirements are in place to protect minors from accessing adult content and ensure compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and other privacy laws.
Age verification requirements in Bulgaria
Adult websites operating in Bulgaria must implement at least one of the following measures to comply with the law:
Biometric methods: Use technologies like facial age estimation to verify a user's age without storing personal data.
Government-issued ID checks: Systems may allow users to upload official identification documents, such as a passport, national ID card, or driver’s license, for verification purposes.
Third-party verification services: Utilize GDPR-compliant third-party providers to confirm the age of users.
Two-step verification: Combine different methods, such as an initial biometric check followed by an optional government-issued ID upload if needed for accuracy.
Parental control support: Websites must provide clear guidance for parental control tools to restrict access on shared devices.
