Incode

What the vendor is

Incode Technologies, Inc. is an identity verification company headquartered in San Francisco, with a dedicated adult entertainment page that pitches age assurance to adult content platforms. Its headline promise is "verified adults only, on both sides of the camera": the viewers who reach age-restricted material and the creators who upload it. The adult product sits inside a wider identity platform sold to banks, governments, gaming operators and social networks. The FAQ calls the flagship platform, Incode Omni, a modular, API-first enterprise system that organizations build into their own infrastructure, and says it is not a standalone app or a consumer product. Incode sells B2B only, so the operator it fits is a platform with users and creators to check, not an individual.

What it sells an operator

The adult page groups the offer into four products: age assurance, creator verification, content integrity and deepfake detection. Together they cover a platform from user signup and creator onboarding to every upload that follows.

Age assurance runs as a waterfall that starts with the least invasive method. The user takes a selfie and the model estimates age in seconds, and the page says most adults pass at that step. Only near the age threshold does the flow escalate to a government-issued ID and a live selfie. Where available, age can also be confirmed through date of birth records, a phone, an email address or a digital ID, with no document at all. Verified adults get in, minors are blocked, and the data taken during the check is redacted and deleted automatically. For sites that want nothing to leave the visitor's device, Incode sells on-device, zero-knowledge age estimation; the products page says no image leaves the device and no biometric data is stored.

Creator verification confirms the age and identity of everyone who publishes, monetizes or manages content, using a government ID, biometrics and validation against government sources. Content integrity runs real-time checks that flag underage appearances, unauthorized uploads and media that has to come down. Deepsight, the deepfake product, screens for deepfakes, camera injection and synthetic media at enrollment and on every upload.

Behind the flow sit several independent checks: document verification that looks for paper forgeries, screen spoofs and generated IDs; biometric liveness that matches the face to the document; detection of AI-generated documents; and facial age estimation. The FAQ says liveness runs in passive mode, with no user action, or in active mode with a prompted gesture for higher-assurance cases, and that human review is available as a fallback for edge cases.

The page's case study is a large adult live-streaming platform that runs Incode's checks on both its broadcasters and its viewers.

The terms that decide the choice

The pages carry no adult content policy of the kind a host publishes, since Incode does not host or carry content; its role is to check the people on a platform. On regulation, the adult page names US state laws, Brazil's ECA, the UK Online Safety Act and country-specific EU rules, and says the built-in compliance logic adjusts the flow by country and platform. The FAQ adds that Incode is a technology provider, not a licensed compliance consultant or a regulatory authority.

Pricing is by quote only. The FAQ describes the revenue model as enterprise platform licensing, usage-based transaction fees, or a mix of both, set by customer volume and deployment scope, and says contracts are custom and pricing is obtained through sales. There is no public plan, per-check rate or setup fee.

On service terms, the FAQ describes enterprise SLAs with uptime guarantees and dedicated support tiers, without publishing the figures, and says delivery is mainly cloud SaaS, with on-premise or hybrid setups available for some configurations and regional data storage options on request. The public terms of use, written for anyone using the services, let Incode suspend or end an account at its discretion and say that ending an account may destroy content tied to it. They are governed by Delaware law, and disputes go to binding arbitration in New York City under JAMS rules.

Data handling is spelled out. The adult page says personal information is never sold or shared. The privacy notice makes Incode a processor for its customers, so the platform's own notice and retention periods apply to its users. The Biometric Data Policy keeps biometric data only until the purpose of collection is met or 3 years after the person's last interaction with the company, whichever comes first, unless the law requires otherwise.

Getting started and support

Onboarding starts with a demo request or the sales form. Integration runs through REST APIs, iOS and Android SDKs, web SDKs and pre-built connectors, and the FAQ says no-code and low-code workflow builders are available to configure a journey. The age assurance waterfall runs in one SDK. Professional services and technical onboarding are part of implementation, and timelines vary with the use case. The developer hub, platform documentation and API documentation are linked from the main navigation.

The contact page splits inquiries three ways: sales for new business and demos, a support address for existing customers, and a general inbox. The San Francisco headquarters lists a phone number. Support hours are not published.

Platforms that want to build Incode into their own product can apply to the partner program, which has three tracks: OEM and embed, reseller, and referral. Partners get sandbox access, integration documentation and dedicated technical support.

Company and track record

The FAQ says Incode was founded in 2015 and is a private company headquartered in San Francisco. The contact page lists offices in New York, Mexico City, Bogotá, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Belgrade and Tel Aviv. The about page's timeline records acquisitions of MetaMap in 2024, AuthenticID in 2025 and Identiq in 2026.

The company's own claims of recognition: a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification for the third consecutive year, the first to achieve iBeta Level 3 on iOS and Android, and an age estimation model that ranked third of 29 providers on NIST's largest dataset. The footer states SOC 2 Type II certification and 256-bit TLS encryption. These are Incode's statements about itself.

Who it suits

Incode covers age verification for viewers and creators, and also content protection and moderation through the content integrity checks and the Deepsight screening that runs on every upload. It fits an adult platform with creators, uploads and live streaming that wants one system for both sides, and an operator with an integration team and the volume to negotiate an enterprise contract.

A small single-owner site will find less here. There is no published price, no self-serve signup, and the support split assumes a contracted customer. The terms on the site are written for end users rather than as a business agreement, so the service levels an operator would sign come from the sales contract. The strengths are the layered design that tries the lightest check first, the on-device option for operators who want no data to leave the visitor's phone, and the single vendor for user, creator and upload checks.
