You prove your age to the app by scanning the NFC in your passport. No government servers exist. When a site requests your age, you return only a “yes I’m older than 18”, proven by your passport. Not your age, just that you’re older. I think it preserves privacy pretty well. I don’t think that it will protect children, but I do think that it preserves privacy.
