Age Verification

In order to use our members only features you must be aged 18 or over. Prior to your payment being processed for your membership package, you will be required to verify your age. We verify our members ages using VerifyMyAge.

VerifyMyAge operates as the layer above deep-tech, creating an age assurance ecosystem of data, deep tech and artificial intelligence partners, resulting in the most comprehensive and effective age verification and estimation solution available to us.

They use high-end cryptography to protect customers’ data. All data is encrypted at rest and in-transit using a combination of 256-bit encryption and hashing algorithms. They also use Cloudflare to provide an extra layer of security to their system and user data. Cloudflare detects unusual activity and activates high-security measures when necessary. They also periodically anonymise user data, and only keep information related to users for as long as necessary, while it is relevant to verification.

By capturing information from your purchase, their systems seamlessly identify your age. If they cannot identify your age using your purchase details, they will give you a choice of several other different, convenient age assurance methods.

You will only be asked to verify your age once and will receive an instant decision. If successful, your membership application will then be processed along with your payment and become active.

VerifyMyAge is approved by Trading Standards as being a robust, secure and trusted age verification system.
