AGE VERIFICATION POLICY
Last Updated: September 9, 2023
At AdultIndia, we are committed to ensuring that our adult content is accessed only by individuals who are 18 years of age or older, in compliance with Indian laws and regulations. This Age Verification Policy explains our practices and procedures for verifying the age of our users.
1. Age Restriction Policy
Access to our website and services is strictly limited to individuals who are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from individuals under 18 years of age.
1.1. Verification Process
We employ a multi-layered age verification process that includes:
- Initial self-declaration of age upon website entry
- Cookie-based remember me functionality for returning visitors
- Third-party age verification services for certain content areas
- Regular auditing of our age verification systems
1.2. Continuous Monitoring
We continuously monitor and update our age verification processes to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with evolving legal requirements.
Under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and relevant Indian laws, websites containing adult content must implement reasonable age verification measures to prevent access by minors. The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 also imposes strict penalties for exposing children to inappropriate sexual content.
2. Age Verification Methods
We utilize several methods to verify the age of our users:
2.1. Self-Declaration
Upon first visit, all users are presented with an age verification gate that requires them to confirm they are 18 years or older.
2.2. Technical Measures
We implement technical measures to help prevent underage access, including:
- Cookie-based age verification memory
- IP address monitoring for suspicious activity
- Secure payment verification for premium content
2.3. Third-Party Verification Services
For certain sections of our website, we may employ third-party age verification services that use various methods to confirm user age.
3. Consequences of False Declaration
Falsely declaring oneself to be 18 years or older to gain access to adult content is a violation of our Terms of Service and may constitute a legal offense in many jurisdictions.
3.1. Account Termination
If we determine that a user has provided false age information, we will immediately terminate their account and prohibit future access.
3.2. Legal Compliance
We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities in cases where fraudulent age declaration may have legal consequences.
Under Indian law, misrepresenting one's age to access adult content may be considered a violation of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Website operators are required to take reasonable steps to prevent underage access and may face penalties for non-compliance.
4. Parental Controls
We support and encourage the use of parental control tools to help prevent underage access to adult content.
4.1. Recommendations for Parents
We recommend that parents and guardians:
- Use internet filtering software to block adult content
- Monitor internet usage of minors in their care
- Educate children about appropriate online behavior
- Keep computers in common areas rather than bedrooms
4.2. Reporting Underage Access
If you believe a minor has gained access to our website, please contact us immediately at nishadelhi39@gmail.com with relevant details.
5. Policy Updates
We regularly review and update our Age Verification Policy to ensure continued compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices.
5.1. Notification of Changes
Significant changes to this policy will be announced on our website and may be communicated to registered users via email.
