Age Verification Policy (18+)

1) 18+ age gate

We require all visitors and users to confirm they are at least 18 years old before accessing age-restricted areas or creating an account. By continuing to use the site, you represent that you are 18+.

2) Account controls and verification

• We may require date of birth during registration and may request further proof of age at any time.
• We may use reasonable checks (including document review and/or third-party age/identity verification services) to confirm eligibility.
• If we cannot verify you are 18+, we may restrict access, suspend features, or close the account.

3) Monitoring and enforcement

We monitor for indicators of underage access (e.g., inconsistent information, reports from others, or other risk signals). If we suspect underage use, we may request verification, suspend access while checks are completed, and remove content or activity associated with the account.

4) What happens if underage use is confirmed

• The account will be closed and access blocked.
• We may void eligibility for age-restricted offers or promotions and take other steps required to protect minors and the service.
• We may retain limited records to prevent re-registration and to meet legal, compliance, and fraud-prevention needs.

5) Data handling for age checks (NZ)

Where we collect information to verify age (such as date of birth or ID details), we use it only for age/identity verification, compliance, fraud prevention, and account security. We aim to collect the minimum necessary, store it securely, limit access, and keep it only as long as required for these purposes. We handle personal information in accordance with New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 and our other privacy notices.

6) Reporting underage accounts

If you believe someone under 18 is using Moanahorizons.com, please report it to contact@moanahorizons.com with any relevant details (e.g., username, approximate age, and why you believe they are under 18). We will review and take appropriate action.
