PrivacyPass

Startup Idea Notice:
This idea is in its early stage and has not been developed yet. It’s ready to be picked up, refined, and turned into a real product or service.

PrivacyPass is a decentralized digital identity and age verification platform designed to empower users with control over their personal data while enabling online services to comply with evolving online safety and age verification regulations. Inspired by the surge in VPN use due to new online rules and the push for digital agency (like the Solid protocol), PrivacyPass allows users to create a self-sovereign digital identity. This identity can be verified once by a trusted third party (e.g., a government-approved entity) using privacy-enhancing technologies like zero-knowledge proofs. Subsequently, users can securely and privately attest to their age or other required attributes to any online service without revealing unnecessary personal information. This eliminates the need for multiple services to collect and store sensitive user data, reducing privacy risks and data breaches, and preventing platform lock-in as seen with restrictive app licensing.

Potentional Customers

  1. Online Service Providers: Websites, social media platforms, gaming companies, and e-commerce sites that need to comply with age verification and online safety regulations efficiently and with minimal user friction.
  2. Individual Users: Consumers who wish to access age-restricted content or services online while maintaining their privacy and digital autonomy, avoiding the need to repeatedly share sensitive personal data.

Revenue Channels

  1. SaaS Subscription for Businesses: Tiered subscription plans for online service providers based on the volume of verifications, advanced compliance reporting features, and API access.
  2. Premium User Subscriptions: Optional premium plans for individual users offering enhanced privacy features, cross-platform identity management, or a fixed number of verifications.
