Under UK law, retailers must verify that anyone buying age-restricted items, such as knives and slicers, is over 18. To make this process simple, secure, and stress-free, we use OneID® at checkout.
What is OneID®?
OneID® is a trusted, UK-certified service that confirms your age instantly using bank and credit reference information your bank already holds. It removes the need to upload documents or share sensitive details with us.
How it works:
- When you buy an age-restricted product, you’ll be asked to provide your contact information and billing address in order to verify your age through OneID®.
- If this process fails to verify your age, another process will ask for more information/action. You will be either asked to provide your phone number, at which point OneID® will simply confirm with your mobile network operator (MNO) that you are over 18.
- Alternatively, you may be asked to log into your online banking as normal (we never see your login details). OneID® checks your date of birth with your bank.
- The only information shared with pasta.kitchen is a simple confirmation that you are over 18.
Your privacy matters
- None of your personal data, account details, or financial information is passed to us.
- OneID® does not see your balance, transactions, or any private banking activity.
- The sole check is your age - nothing more.
This way, you can complete your purchase quickly and with confidence, knowing the process is 100% secure, private, and legally compliant in the UK.
