GRA SIGNS JOINT STATEMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL APPROACH TO AGE ASSURANCE

The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority’s work, as the Information Commissioner, includes engaging with data protection and privacy authorities globally (“Global Authorities”) to protect children, and particularly their personal data, online. Channels used to foster such international engagement include the International Age Assurance Working Group (“IAAWG”). 

Working together as part of the IAAWG, several Global Authorities have drafted a joint statement to encourage a common international approach to Age Assurance (the “Statement”). The Statement sets out key shared principles and outlines the common goals and commitments from signatory regulators including: the UK Information Commissioner’s Office; the National Privacy Commission of The Philippines; the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada; the Public Information Access Agency from the National Authority for Personal Data Protection in Argentina; and the Transparency, Public Information Access and Personal Data Protection Institute of the State of Mexico and Municipalities.
