Protection of Minors Policy

Protection of Minors Policy


The safety and welfare of minors is of the utmost importance to Tatamax.

Tatamax’s Protection of Minors Policy outlines the guidelines and provisions for preserving the safety of minors when using the Tatamax platform. This policy also details the measures taken by Tatamax to protect children’s privacy in respect to their personal data.  

‘Minors’ in this context are considered to be anyone under eighteen (18) years of age. There may be certain countries in which this age limit is higher and purchasers are required to ensure they are compliant with the applicable laws in their country.


Age Restricted Goods 

In accordance with Tatamax’s Prohibited Product Policy , many age restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco are prohibited from sale on the Tatamax platform. 

There are certain products made available by third-party retailers using the Tatamax platform that legally require age verification processes to be followed prior to any parcel being handed over to a purchaser. Tatamax mandates that all third-party retailers using its platform must use such age verification procedures where applicable. 

Tatamax takes a zero tolerance approach to any harmful or age-inappropriate content being made available to minors on its platform. Tatamax has a robust Notice and Take Down procedure and any illegal content brought to our attention will be removed expeditiously and measures will be taken internally to prevent it from reappearing. 

Unfortunately, some third-parties may not adhere to our retailer terms and conditions and they may try to circumvent our content blocks and non-compliant content or products may occasionally find their way onto the Tatamax platform. In such circumstances, these products are removed promptly by Tatamax when they are identified. 

Retailers found to be in contravention of this Protection of Minor’s Policy shall be escalated for internal disciplinary action, which may include permanent removal from the Tatamax platform.

Tatamax takes its commitment to protect minors extremely seriously. If you identify any content that you consider should not be available on the Tatamax platform, please report it through our Notice and Takedown procedure (Third party complaints policy ). Responses to these notifications will be treated as a priority.
