Age Verification Policy

2) How our age gate works

• Entry confirmation: you may be asked to confirm you meet the minimum age before viewing certain pages.
• Account details: if you create or use an account, we may require a date of birth and may restrict features until checks are completed.
• Location awareness: we may apply restrictions based on your stated location or technical signals to align with local legal age requirements.

3) Verification methods we may use

To help prevent underage access, we may use one or more of the following methods (depending on risk signals, feature use, and legal requirements):

• Self-declaration (age confirmation prompts).
• Account and consistency checks (e.g., date of birth format, repeated attempts, mismatched information).
• Age verification prompts triggered by suspected minor indicators or for higher-risk activities.
• Document/identity verification (e.g., government ID and/or a selfie/liveness check) where permitted and necessary.

If we request documentation, we use it to confirm age/identity and to prevent fraud and underage access. We may decline access if verification cannot be completed.

4) Parents/guardians: tools and guidance

• Use device and app parental controls (iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link, console/PC controls).
• Consider browser profiles and content filters, and keep account passwords private.
• Use network/ISP filtering where available.

5) Suspected minor accounts

If we suspect an account is used by a minor or contains inaccurate age information, we may:

• restrict or suspend access while we investigate;
• request additional proof of age;
• close the account and block further access if underage use is confirmed or verification fails;
• remove the user from marketing lists and take steps consistent with applicable law and our records retention practices.
