Question: How can I ensure that only people over 18 years old purchase my products online?
Answer:There are a number of techniques to verify that someone is over 18 years of age online, including asking clients to provide a scan of their licence or proof of their date of birth. If you are required by legislation to verify the age or identity of users you should make sure you are meeting the specific requirements under that legislation. You should also consider when you are collecting and storing this type of information that you comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
