The Czech Republic has implemented laws to ensure that users accessing adult websites are of legal age. These laws mandate strict measures for adult websites to verify the age of users accessing their content. The age verification requirements are outlined in Act No. 127/2005 Coll. on Electronic Communications and other relevant legislation.
Requirements for adult websites
Websites hosting adult content in the Czech Republic must adhere to the following:
Age verification before access: Users must verify they are 18 years or older before accessing adult content.
Secure verification methods: Only secure and reliable age verification methods are accepted.
Data protection compliance: Systems must comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and local data protection laws to protect user information.
No retention of sensitive data: Personal data, including verification details, must not be stored after the process.
Transparency requirements: Websites must clearly inform users about the verification process and its purpose.
Legal penalties: Non-compliance can result in fines or restrictions on the website's operations.
Accepted methods for age verification
The Czech Republic allows several specific methods for verifying the age of users. These include:
Biometric facial age estimation: A biometric method where the user’s age is estimated by analyzing their face using a webcam or smartphone camera. This is considered a fast, secure, and GDPR-compliant method.
Government-issued ID checks:
Scanning a valid government-issued ID, such as a passport, national ID card, or driver’s license.
Verifying the ID through secure third-party services to confirm the user’s age without storing the document.
Bank or payment card verification:
Confirming the user’s age through a transaction using a credit or debit card issued to adults only.
Mobile network verification:
Using mobile carrier services to validate the user’s age based on their subscription details.
Digital identity services:
Integration with secure digital identity platforms, such as eID or national identity systems, to verify age without requiring document uploads.
