Age Verification Statement

1. Overview

BAC Battle is an alcohol-related application intended exclusively for adults who have reached the legal drinking age. This Age Verification Statement outlines our policies and procedures for verifying user age and protecting minors from accessing age-restricted content.

2. Age Requirements

To use BAC Battle, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal drinking age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). By creating an account and using the app, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.

3. Self-Reporting Verification Method

Our age verification system is based on self-reporting. During the registration process, users are required to:

• Provide their date of birth
• Confirm they meet the minimum age requirements
• Acknowledge that providing false information violates our Terms of Service
• Agree to our age-related policies and restrictions

While we rely on users to provide accurate information, we take age verification seriously and implement additional measures to detect and prevent minor access.

4. Minor Protection Measures

4.1 Immediate Suspension Policy

If we discover or receive credible information that a user is a minor (under 18 years of age or below the legal drinking age in their jurisdiction):

• Immediate account suspension will be enforced
• The account will remain suspended pending further investigation
• Access to all app features will be blocked immediately
• The user will be notified of the suspension and investigation process

4.2 Investigation Process

Once a potential minor access case is identified, we will:

• Review all available account information and activity
• May request additional age verification documentation
• Assess whether Terms of Service violations occurred
• Determine appropriate action (permanent ban, identity verification requirement, etc.)
• Take steps to prevent re-registration using the same information

4.3 Permanent Account Termination

If investigation confirms a user is underage:

• The account will be permanently terminated
• All user data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy
• The user will be prohibited from creating new accounts
• Additional preventive measures may be implemented

5. Reporting Underage Users

5.1 How to Report

5.2 Information to Include

When reporting, please provide:

• Username or profile link of the suspected minor
• Reason you believe the user is underage (e.g., profile information, direct knowledge)
• Any relevant screenshots or evidence (optional but helpful)
• Your contact information in case we need follow-up details

5.3 Confidentiality

All reports are treated confidentially. We will not disclose the identity of reporters to the subject of the investigation or to other users. Reporter information is used solely for investigation purposes.

5.4 Response Timeline

We take all underage user reports seriously:

• Reports are reviewed within 24 hours
• If credible, immediate suspension is implemented
• Full investigation completed within 5 business days
• Reporters will receive confirmation that action has been taken (details may be limited for privacy reasons)

6. False Information Consequences

Providing false age information during registration is a serious violation:

• Terms of Service violation resulting in immediate termination
• Permanent ban from the platform
• Potential legal consequences depending on jurisdiction
• Parental/guardian notification for minors

7. Parental Responsibility

Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's online activities. BAC Battle is not intended for minors, and we encourage parents to:

• Use parental control software to restrict access to age-inappropriate apps
• Regularly review their children's device usage
• Educate children about alcohol-related risks
• Report any suspected violations immediately

8. Technical Safeguards

Beyond self-reporting, we employ additional measures:

• Age gate during registration process
• Monitoring for suspicious account patterns
• Community reporting mechanisms (in-app and via email)
• Regular audits of flagged accounts
• Cooperation with app store age rating systems

9. Legal Compliance

Our age verification practices comply with:

• EU Age Verification Directive requirements
• Google Play Store age restriction policies
• Hungarian alcohol-related content regulations
• GDPR provisions regarding children's data protection

10. Limitations of Self-Reporting

We acknowledge that self-reporting has limitations. While we cannot verify the accuracy of every user's age claim, we are committed to:

• Creating strong deterrents against false reporting
• Responding swiftly to all reports of underage access
• Continuously improving our detection methods
• Cooperating with authorities when legal violations occur

11. Changes to This Statement
