AGA VERIFICATION EXPLANINED

  Age Verification Policy

🛡️ Age Verification for Age-Restricted Products

Vapepie USA provides age verification solutions for e-commerce platforms that sell age-restricted products.
To comply with applicable laws and protect minors, all customers must complete age verification before completing a purchase.

🚪 Age Gates vs. Age Verification

Age Gates are pop-up notices displayed when visiting age-restricted websites, such as those selling tobacco, alcohol, or adult products.

The age gate on vapepieus.online is designed to inform users of the minimum legal age requirement, but it does not verify the accuracy or validity of the information entered.
Therefore, it is not a substitute for our full age verification process during checkout.

⚖️ Why Is Age Verification Required?

Websites selling regulated products are required to comply with U.S. federal and state laws.

• In the United States, the sale of tobacco-related products requires customers to be 21 years of age or older

• Just like physical retail stores, online stores must verify legal age before completing a sale

Even in regions where age verification may not be explicitly required, many businesses choose to implement it to:

• Prevent fraud

• Protect minors

• Maintain responsible business practices

⏰ Why Is Age Verification Required Now?

You may not have encountered age verification when shopping on similar websites in the past. However, due to:

• Increased regulatory enforcement

• Rapid market growth

• Higher compliance standards

We are now required to implement a formal and reliable online age verification process.

🧾 What Information Do We Collect?

During checkout, Vapepie may collect the following information solely for age verification purposes:

• Full name

• Shipping address

• Date of birth

🔍 Over 90% of customers are verified instantly using this information alone.

If instant verification is unsuccessful, you may be asked to provide a government-issued photo ID.

🔐 Data Handling After Verification

• Photo ID images are deleted immediately after verification

• Your name, address, and date of birth are securely stored to recognize you for future purchases
