Xicoia

I don't have reliable information about an entity called "Xicoia" in my training data. To provide you with an accurate description for your AI governance news directory, I would need clarification about what Xicoia is: whether it's a company, a regulatory body, a technology platform, or another type of organization relevant to AI governance and compliance. Could you provide more context about Xicoia so I can write an appropriate and factual description?

UK-based Xicoia Ltd requires users of its AI character service to submit a video selfie for automated age verification before connecting. The service also continuously analyzes users' emotional states via camera and voice, a feature that cannot be disabled. Both practices rely on legitimate interests rather than explicit consent as their legal basis under UK data protection rules.
