I actually just had a conversation about this internally for Canadian producer concerns.

This clause:
4.5 Principle 5 — Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
Personal information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. Personal information shall be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.


seems to indicate that if the information is collected for the purpose of age verification, that can be used as applicable for those particular business purposes. Additionally, the model release could be worded to proactively outline those purposes. Also, certain personally identifying information can be redacted from submitted data.
