Innovative Technology have recently obtained independent GDPR certification from the Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) for their ICU age estimation solution. The standard is the first of its kind anywhere in the world for demonstrating UK GDPR compliance for age and ID estimation systems.
The ICU age estimation solution will be issued with the certification of ACCS 2:2021 Technical Requirements for Data Protection and Privacy, which is approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office in accordance with the Commissioner’s tasks and powers under Articles 57(1)(n) and 58(3)(f) pursuant to Article 42(5) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
Dr Andrew O’Brien, ICU Product Manager announced, “GDPR is a necessity in ensuring compliance when deploying new technology for public use. It is crucial for any company to be able to demonstrate independent assessment of their technology to ensure complete clarity with respect to how public data is utilised and processed. Using technology and devices that meet GDPR regulations is so important to our customers, so this stamp of approval from the ACCS scheme for our ICU anonymous age estimation solution is significant for us. This will be the proof that customers require and give added confidence in the product when considering the introduction of biometric solutions into their business.”
