IDology and WeIDonline.org Team Up To Prevent Minors From Accessing Age-Restricted and Age-Rated Vendors On The Internet

Company sponsors organization and incorporates WeIDonline logo as part of its ExpectID Age offering.

ATLANTA, March 6, 2006– IDology, a leading provider of age and identity verification solutions, today announced its sponsorship of WeIDonline.org, an online community dedicated to promoting companies that support adult-only purchases of age-restricted products and services in customer-not-present environments such as the Internet. Through this sponsorship, IDology will provide its age-restricted vendor clients with the WeIDonline logo to display on their websites and will serve as a valuable contributor in shaping the policies and best practices the organization promotes.

“The Internet is definitely a wild frontier when it comes to protecting our children from predators or illegal activity,” said John Dancu, CEO of IDology. “WeIDonline is a great organization intent on establishing the same level of standards and practices online for age-restricted or rated products and services that we live by in the bricks and mortar world. We are proud to be a sponsor and wholeheartedly believe in developing safe and rewarding online experiences for all Internet users – especially kids.”

WeIDonline.org is dedicated to developing technologies and best practices related to restricting access for children on the Internet. The community’s mission is to identify and promote exceptional technology, consumer information privacy, standards of practice, and activities that support adult choice while preventing underage access and exposure in non face-to-face environments.

As a resource center aimed at both businesses concerned with adult interaction while diverting potential underage activity and adult consumers who want to protect their children, WeIDonline.org today offers free subscriptions to keep its members aware of issues affecting the industry. Specifically developed for display on age-restricted vendors websites, the WeIDonline logo represents the high standards companies undertake to promote activities with age-appropriate adults. By incorporating this logo as an offering within IDology’s ExpectID Age solution, all clients using IDology’s advanced age verification technology are able to display WeIDonline and show their commitment to protecting minors.

“Through IDology, clients proudly display the WeIDonline logo on their website as a symbol of the measures they take to deal with adults of legal age,” said Raye Croghan, IDology’s Vice President of Products. “Backed by the superior performance of IDology’s ExpectID Age solution, age-sensitive companies are able to demonstrate best efforts that protect not only their business but consumer privacy in general.”
