EU Age-Check App: 9 Files Released, No Privacy Review Found, Claims Called Unproven

An EU age-checking app’s internal documentation release has reportedly raised concerns. A request for records produced nine files, but the files did not include a privacy impact assessment specifically for the app. The EU department said it does not hold such a review, shifting responsibility to whoever ultimately publishes the service. Critics argue this doesn’t resolve whether required privacy checks were done during development and testing. Security researchers and others have also questioned whether the app’s public claims of anonymity are fully supported.
