Filtering, anonymizing, and storing anonymized data as part of an age verification process

A computer system for verifying age of a user communicating from a remote device with a provider system, comprising:

• a central system memory, storing processor-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more central system computer processors in communication with the central system memory, the processor-executable instructions causing the one or more central system computer processors to:
• receive, from the provider system, data including a request for age verification of the user communicating with the provider system from the remote device;
• determine, based on at least one of the data received from the provider system and data on the remote device, whether the user is age verified;
• responsive to determining that the user is age verified, provide an affirmative indication to the provider system;
• responsive to determining that the user is not age verified, communicating directly with the user device for receipt of identifying data without login by the user device to the central computer system;
• receive, from the user device, identifying data;
• provide, to a third party verification source, the identifying data;
• receive, from the third party verification source, an indication of verification of age based on the identifying data;
• provide a token indicative of age verification to the user device;
• provide a positive indication to the provider system, including identification of the token;
• anonymize identifiable data relating to the user age verification;
• and
• store the anonymized data in a database;
• wherein neither the provider nor the central system retains user identifiable data.

A computerized method for verifying age of a user communicating from a remote device with a provider system, comprising:

• receiving, by a central computer system, from the provider system, data including a request for verification of the user;
• determining, based on at least one of the data received from the provider system and data on the remote device, whether the user is age verified;
• responsive to determining that the user is age verified, providing an affirmative indication to the provider system;
• responsive to determining that the user is not age verified, communicating directly with the user device for receipt of identifying data without login by the user device to the central computer system;
• receiving, from the user device, data indicative of user identification, including at least a payment card number comprising a predetermined number of digits in sequence;
• accessing, by the central computer system, data indicative of ranges of values for selected sub-sequences of digits, each of the ranges of values indicative of a range of values corresponding to ranges designated by one or more card issuers for issue of payment cards;
• applying, by the central computer system, the payment card number data to the data indicative of ranges of values, to determine whether or not the payment card data corresponds to one of the designated ranges;
• and
• responsive to determining, by the central computer system, that the payment card data does not correspond to any one of the designated ranges, performing at least one of:
• returning an indication that age is not verified, employing the determination that the payment card data does not correspond to any one of the designated ranges as a negative factor in an age verification confidence algorithm, or prompting the user for a different type of age verification data;
• and
• responsive to determining, by the central computer system, that the payment card data corresponds to one of the designated ranges, performing at least one of:
• returning an indication that age is verified, or employing the determination that the payment card data corresponds to one of the designated ranges as a positive factor in an age verification confidence algorithm.
