Our website is hosted, managed and maintained by Wix.com Ltd, who do not have access to this data in any way. You can read their Privacy Policy here.

​

Why we need your data and who we share it with

We only require the bare minimum of data to provide you a service. Email addresses help us  respond to any questions or queries you contact us about . Date of Birth is sometimes required to verify your age and allow you to access our age restricted services.

The Kinksters will never use your data for anything beyond the reason stated and the permissions you grant us. By entering your personal data when placing an order, you grant us permission to use this as outlined above.

​

Data Protection

Anyone who provides The Kinksters with personal information is given the opportunity to manage how that information is used. This includes opting out of any services and restricting the use of that information. You can do that by contacting the data controller (Dave Powley).

​

Accessing your Data

Customers of The Kinksters have certain rights under the UK's Data Protection Act 1998 (“DPA”). You can, for instance, ask in writing to be told what information we hold about you in our databases and how that information is being processed. The Kinksters will provide you with all of the details that we hold about you, both online and offline, upon request, providing we are able to do so in compliance with our obligations under the DPA.

The Kinksters reserves the right to charge a £10 administration fee for this process. If you would like to request this information, please use the contact details below. Please note that a payment of £10 should be included with such requests. Payments can be accepted by UK Postal Orders / Cheques. Non-UK customers should contact us for payment options.

Age Verification

​

We are committed to protecting minors and complying with UK law regarding access to adult content.

This includes strict adherence to age verification requirements under the Digital Economy Act 2017 and other applicable regulations.

​

Legal Requirement

UK law mandates that websites hosting adult content must implement robust age verification checks to prevent individuals under 18 from accessing such material. This is not optional — it is a legal obligation to ensure the safety and wellbeing of minors online.

​

Our Age Verification Process

To comply with these regulations, we use Yoti, a trusted and independent age verification provider. Yoti is an accredited, secure platform designed specifically to protect your privacy while confirming your age.

​

How It Works

When you access age-restricted areas of our website:

1. You will be redirected to Yoti’s secure platform.

2. Yoti will verify your age using one of several methods (e.g., passport, driver’s license, or biometric checks).

3. Once Yoti confirms that you are 18 or older, you will be granted access to our age-restricted content.

​

Privacy and Data Protection

We take your privacy seriously. That’s why we’ve chosen Yoti — a company known for putting user privacy first. Here’s what you need to know:

• We do not collect or store any of your personal data used for age verification.

• We never see your ID or personal details.

• We only receive confirmation from Yoti that you are over 18 — nothing more.

• Your interaction with Yoti is entirely confidential and governed by their own strict data protection and privacy policies.

For more information, you can review Yoti’s privacy policy.

​

Why We Use a Third-Party Verifier

Using a third-party age verification provider like Yoti ensures:

• Compliance with UK laws.

• Maximum privacy for our users.

• Independence and security in verifying age without risking your personal data.
