Age verification already works with the current digital IDs and it's made in a way that doesn't leak your personal data. In general you get to see what personal data is being requested before you agree to transmit it. The IDs can also create pseudonyms, so different systems don't know that you are the same person. I opted out of the digital functions of my ID, but I plan to have them activated, because it's better than video identification or uploading scans of my documents. That being said, I hope that only serious processes will adopt this.

In the context of German ID cards, this is mostly correct. For age verification requests, the service provider can set the amount of years, and the ID card will simply answer with a yes or no. The pseudonym isn't created, but calculated from the ID's private key and the service provider's public key, so even a new card means new pseudonym, which makes it slightly less useful for login long term.
