Reinforcing its commitment to online safety, Netsweeper advances privacy-first age assurance to support safer digital experiences worldwide.
Netsweeper has announced it recently joined the Age Verification Providers Association (AVPA), the global trade body representing companies that provide privacy-preserving age assurance technologies.
The AVPA works to promote standards, best practices, and regulatory alignment for age verification, age estimation, and age-inference technologies used to protect users online—particularly children and young people. Founded in 2018, the association brings together organizations across the digital ecosystem to help regulators, platforms, and service providers implement effective age-assurance solutions.
As governments around the world introduce stronger online safety regulations and age-appropriate design requirements, Netsweeper’s participation in the AVPA reinforces its commitment to supporting responsible internet use and protecting users from harmful or age-restricted content.

The AVPA advocates for effective, standards-based approaches to age assurance that allow organizations to confirm a user’s age without unnecessarily collecting or storing personal identity data. The association also works with policymakers and regulators worldwide to develop frameworks that balance online safety, privacy, and digital rights.
