Age Verification

We use an industry-recognised third-party system to verify your age. The system runs several independent checks to verify if you are 18 or over, including credit/debit card records, the UK electoral roll and the UK birth register checks. We carry out as few checks as possible; the only time we will check multiple records is if we were unable to verify your age using previous check(s).

We use AgeChecked, a leading online age verification service provider, to support us in running the necessary checks to verify that you are over the age of 18. They compare your details against millions of records to ensure you are of the correct age to purchase our products. AgeChecked do run a credit check to verify your age and may also keep a copy of any basic information that we pass on to them. Once you are verified, you will not need to verify your details again for any future orders. You can find information about AgeChecked and how they manage your personal data by visiting their website: www.agechecked.com.
