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.

The purpose they are talking about is for the producer, not for anyone else. Within Canada, I may be able to show a lottery winner, but I cannot disclose their personal information. Also in Canada, we really don't care how an American attorney may read our Privacy Act as we are here, and we have to deal with it. Long ago, I retained an Attorney here to read the Act and to let me know in writing what I may and may not do. It came down to;
DO NOT disclose personal information to anyone for any reason unless presented with a court order to do so. Most other civilized countries have the same privacy laws.
The main thing is that people can throw as much legal opinion as they want, but unless we are all right here in Canada, I have to ignore it. I need to worry about the laws in Canada, no where else.
Anyway, the section of 2257 that is being discussed takes care of all that. If someone is using or distributing my content in the US, all they need is my corporate legal information and a letter from me saying that all model releases and identification have been duly verified.
