This section describes all the methods offered as part of the service.
Choosing which method you use will be based on:
- Level of assurance needed
- Countries you operate in. You will need to consider configuring age-checking methods by country, depending on the optimum requirements for that region.
- User flow preferences.
All methods provide a data minimisation approach. Yoti does not store any data, and neither can you.
