What is Age Verification?
Age verification ensures that only individuals of legal age can purchase products on our website.
Why Do We Verify Your Age?
Under UK law, it is illegal to sell electronic cigarettes or devices intended to deliver nicotine to anyone under 18 years of age.
How Do We Verify Your Age?
We use a seamless and unobtrusive system, such as Agechecked. At checkout, we use the details you provide, like your name, address, and date of birth, to quickly and efficiently confirm your age against several secure data sources.
What Happens if the Check Fails?
If the data you provide cannot be verified, a pop-up screen will request additional information, such as driving licence details. If we cannot confirm your age with the provided details, your order will not be processed, and you will receive a notification confirming the cancellation of your order.
What Other Forms of Identification Do You Use?
Initially, we use your name, address, and date of birth. If these details are insufficient to confirm your age, we may request additional forms of identification, such as:
- Credit Card (Visa or Mastercard)
- Mobile Telephone Number (if age-checked with your contract provider)
- Electoral Roll information (if you are registered)
How is My Data Being Used?
Your personal data is not stored by Agechecked. They are an anonymized verification platform, meaning they do not keep a record of personal details and do not track an individual's activity. Your privacy and security are fundamental to their system.
