OREANDA-NEWS By the end of 2025, it is planned to launch sales of alcoholic beverages based on biometric data in Russian retail stores. This was stated by the head of the Center for Biometric Technologies Vladislav Povolotsky, quoted by TASS.
Earlier, he recalled, the Russian government allowed the use of biometric data to confirm the age when purchasing energy products. A similar scheme is planned to be extended to the purchase of alcoholic beverages. Povolotsky noted that the service is already ready for offline use. By the end of the year, the CBT plans to present it in cooperation with retail chains.
Povolotsky added that biometrics will become an additional tool for confirming the age of the buyer along with the passport. Using the service will help make it more difficult for Russian minors to access alcoholic beverages. At the same time, the service can be used not only in the case of buying alcohol. It can be applied to any products with age restrictions, he concluded.
