Age Verification Policy

2) Minimum age standard (Australia)

For users in Australia, the minimum age to access our adult-only areas and create an account is 18 years. If the laws in your location require a higher minimum age, the higher age applies.

3) How we verify age

• Age gate / self-declaration: we may require you to confirm you are 18+ (e.g., date of birth entry and/or an 18+ checkbox) before account creation or accessing adult-only content.
• Account signals and risk checks: we may use automated checks to detect inconsistent information (e.g., date of birth conflicts, unusual activity patterns, device/browser signals).
• Additional verification (where needed): we may request age evidence such as a government-issued ID, a selfie/liveness check, or other reasonable verification methods (including via specialist verification providers). We aim to verify age eligibility and do not require more information than necessary.

4) If we suspect you are underage

• We may restrict access while we review or request verification.
• If you cannot be verified as 18+ (or the applicable minimum age), we will deny access and may suspend or close the account.
• We may remove or restrict any content and activity associated with an underage account and take steps to prevent re-registration.

5) Preventing underage access

• Age-gated entry points and 18+ notices.
• Verification triggers based on risk signals and compliance requirements.
• Blocking and monitoring to reduce repeat attempts (e.g., account/device indicators where permitted).

6) Privacy and record-keeping

Information collected for age verification is handled in line with applicable Australian privacy obligations and our privacy practices. Where verification is completed, we may retain a record of the verification outcome and limited metadata to demonstrate compliance and prevent underage re-access.
