Age Verification Policy
🔞 Why Age Verification is Essential at Rainbowvapes
To ensure full compliance with UK law, Rainbowvapes is committed to verifying the age of all customers purchasing electronic cigarettes, e-liquids, or vapour products that contain or are designed to deliver nicotine.
Under the Nicotine Inhaling Products (Age of Sale and Proxy Purchasing) Regulations 2015, it is illegal to sell or supply these products to anyone under 18 years of age.
By placing an order with Rainbowvapes, you confirm that you are 18 years or older. We have partnered with 1Account Age Verification to make this process secure, efficient, and fully compliant with UK regulations.
🧾 How We Verify Your Age
When you create an account or place an order, we will request certain details including:
Your full name
Your billing address
Your date of birth
It’s important that this information matches the details held on official records, such as:
Your driver’s licence
The UK electoral roll, or
The billing details associated with a UK-issued credit card.
This data allows our system to complete a quick and secure age verification before any age-restricted products are dispatched.
🔐 Partnered Verification Provider
Rainbowvapes uses the services of One Account Mobile Limited (1Account) to carry out age verification checks securely.
By engaging with our website and ordering age-restricted products, you consent to Rainbowvapes sharing your details with 1Account and its trusted third-party data providers solely for the purpose of confirming your age.
You also agree that 1Account may securely retain the necessary verification data for future purchases, allowing for a smoother checkout process.
All personal data processed by 1Account is protected under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018. 1Account conducts regular reviews to ensure data is not held longer than required.

⚙️ How the Verification Process Works
When placing your first order (or using a new email address not previously verified), the 1Account Age Verification pop-up will appear during checkout.
This secure system automatically cross-references your details against national databases to confirm your age.
If your age is successfully verified, your order will proceed as normal.
If verification is unsuccessful, you will be offered several alternative methods to complete the process, including:
Mobile phone number check
Credit card verification
Electoral roll record
Driver’s licence number
Citizen’s Card
Or, as an alternative, you may email a photo of your passport or driver’s licence to [email protected]
for manual verification.
Once verified, you will not need to complete this step again for future orders using the same account details.
✅ Our Commitment
Rainbowvapes takes its legal and ethical responsibilities seriously. This comprehensive verification process ensures that we only sell age-restricted products to adults, maintaining a safe, responsible, and fully compliant shopping environment.
