Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Claude, our consumer product, is only available to people over 18 years. You’ll need to confirm you’re 18 or over while setting up an account. When we detect signals that you may be under 18, we'll ask you to verify your age before you can continue using Claude. How this worksWe have safety systems in place to detect if people under 18 may be using Claude and we’ll disable accounts based on indicators of minor activity. You’ll have the option to verify your age using Yoti, a third-party age verification platform. A link for verification will be provided in the notification email. If you pass the age verification process, your account will be reinstated. Accepted age verification methodsYoti offers several ways to confirm you're 18 or over.
