AGE VERIFICATION POLICY

Last updated: April 2, 2026

This Age Verification Policy describes the measures Dusk AI LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") implements to restrict access to the Service to eligible users only.


Minimum Age Requirement

Access to the Service is strictly limited to individuals who are:

  • at least the minimum required age for the Service; or
  • the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction, if higher.

No person below the applicable age threshold may access, view, or use any portion of the Service.


Current Verification Measures

Birth Year Verification (All Users)

At registration, all users must provide their birth year. Users whose birth year indicates they are under 18 are blocked from creating an account. This verification is required regardless of the registration method used (email, Google Sign-In, or any future authentication method).

Age-Gate Warning

Before accessing restricted features, users encounter an age-gate requiring affirmative confirmation that they meet the minimum required age.


Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements

United States

We comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state laws governing access to age-restricted digital experiences. In states that require age verification beyond self-certification, we will implement third-party age verification before granting access to restricted features. In jurisdictions where compliance cannot be reasonably achieved, we may restrict or block access to the Service.

We continuously monitor state legislative developments and will adjust our verification measures as required.

European Union

We comply with applicable EU and member-state laws governing access to age-restricted digital experiences, including requirements under the Digital Services Act (DSA) and national child-protection frameworks. Where any EU jurisdiction requires verified age (beyond self-certification), we will implement appropriate third-party verification measures.

United Kingdom

For users in the United Kingdom, we will comply with the Online Safety Act 2023 and Ofcom guidance, including implementing "robust" age-verification methods when required.

Other Jurisdictions

  • Where local law prohibits restricted content entirely, we may block access to the Service.
  • Where age-verification frameworks are emerging (e.g., Australia, Canada), we will adopt measures consistent with regulatory guidance as it develops.

Third-Party Verification (When Required)

In jurisdictions that mandate verified age (as opposed to self-certification), we use or will use third-party verification providers that:

  • verify age using government-issued ID, electronic identity systems, or equivalent methods;
  • comply with applicable privacy and data-minimization standards;
  • provide only a yes/no verification result; and
  • do not share underlying identity documents with us.

We do not collect or store government-issued identification documents. Verification results are retained only as long as required to maintain verified status and prevent evasion.


Privacy and Data Minimization

  • Birth year data is stored as part of account information and is not shared with third parties.
  • Where third-party age verification is required, we receive only a pass/fail result — no identity documents or additional personal data.
  • All verification data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Circumvention

We may take action against attempts to circumvent age verification, including:

  • restricting access based on IP address, device, or region;
  • suspending or terminating accounts that provide false age information; and
  • blocking VPNs or proxies where necessary to enforce jurisdictional requirements.

Intentional misrepresentation of age constitutes a violation of our Terms of Service and will result in immediate account termination.


Updates

We actively monitor legal and regulatory developments and will update this Policy as needed. Changes are effective when posted on the Service.
