Discord in the UK utilizes Persona as a third-party, specialized vendor for age verification, requiring users to submit facial scans or ID to access restricted content.

A since redacted statement on the support.discord.com web-page under the "How to Complete Age Assurance on Discord" article stated: "Important: If you're located in the UK, you may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona. The Information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted. For ID document verification, all details are blurred except your photo and date of birth, so only what's truly needed for age verification is used".
