This is an extract from an archived copy, fetched 23 September 2026. Hinge didn't author this page for us. It's a snapshot we captured from https://help.hinge.co/hc/en-us/articles/42464185429651-Age-Checks-at-Hinge. We hold the whole page and publish this part of it: the sentence a verdict rests on, with the text either side, so you can see it hasn't been lifted out of an exception.

The entry cited this capture from 24 September 2026 until 2 October 2026, when the document was re-read; it now cites the capture of 1 October 2026. This page stays so that anything that linked it still works.

The results from your age check will be stored in a secure format for 1 year. Your audit images, photo(s) and moderation records are processed in accordance with Hinge's Privacy Policy .
