We are inviting parents and guardians of teenagers aged 13–17 to take part in a short, secure online participation task.

As part of a global effort to better protect children online, this task supports the development of safer internet technologies, including age verification systems that prevent access to harmful or age-inappropriate content.

The task involves confirming basic information for identity verification and can be completed from home in around 30 minutes. It is a simple data collection process designed to support secure, privacy-focused age verification systems.
