Start from the product risk
Age assurance matters most when the app contains age-restricted content, social interactions, purchases or experiences that change based on age/parental status.
Do not over-collect
If a platform signal can support the required product decision, avoid collecting extra identity data without a clear need. Data minimization reduces privacy risk.
Design state handling
Engineering should define what happens when age data is unavailable, changes, requires parental approval or conflicts with an existing account state.
Coordinate policy and engineering
Target audience, store disclosures, user-data practices and in-app restrictions should be reviewed together rather than by separate teams at the end.
Check local obligations
Platform tooling helps implementation, but jurisdiction-specific legal duties can require separate legal review.
Official sources
Policies and platform requirements can change. Check the linked official documentation for the latest wording before acting on a time-sensitive case.
Need case-specific help?
If your situation includes a specific warning, rejection or account state, send the exact notice rather than applying generic steps blindly.
