Age verification

Last updated: 12 November 2026.

The Buttmatch app is launching soon and is not open for sign-ups yet. This page explains the age checks we will require when the app launches. This coming-soon website only asks you to confirm that you are 18 or older. That confirmation is not a full age verification.

Why we verify

Buttmatch is an adults-only dating service. We verify age to keep minors out, to meet our own terms, and to comply with laws that require age assurance for adult platforms. That includes a number of US state laws (for example in Texas, Utah, Louisiana, and Virginia, among others) and similar rules in other countries. Where a law requires a particular kind of check, we will use a method that meets that law.

When it will happen

When the app launches, age verification will be required at registration, before you can create a profile, upload a photo, swipe, match, or chat. We will not offer a way around it.

Who carries out the check

Verification will be carried out by a third-party provider, not by Buttmatch staff looking at your ID. We are currently completing provider onboarding, including with GO.CAM. Until that onboarding is finished, no live verification is connected to this site.

When you complete a check, the provider’s own terms and privacy notice apply as well as ours. Please read the GO.CAM end-user terms and the GO.CAM privacy policy.

Methods

The provider may offer more than one method, such as a government-issued identity document, a digital ID, payment-card or other transaction data, or facial age estimation. In US states that require a specific method, facial age estimation alone is not enough. We will apply the method required for your location. You must use your own information and documents. You must not try to evade or falsify a check.

What we receive and store

Buttmatch will receive and store only a pass or fail result, plus limited technical session metadata (such as a session identifier and a timestamp). We will not receive or store your ID document, selfie, name, exact date of birth, document number, or card number. That information is handled by the provider, typically on your device or only for the duration of the session, as described in the provider’s privacy policy.

If a check fails

If you cannot be verified as 18 or older, you will not get an account. If we later learn that a user is under 18, we will close the account and delete associated content, and we will report illegal material as required by law.
