In multiregional studies, applicants may need to comply with local regulations. When only age is collected, the applicant is left with a window of uncertainty of, at most, 365 days. Although knowing the precise date of birth provides the ability to calculate accurately an age for any date, a precise (and complete) date of birth may be considered personally identifying information for some privacy oversight boards or government regulators.
