# Why does the app ask for our age?

A business account is a contract, so only adults can open one. The app asks once, right after the account is created and before setup.

## How it works
1. Under "When were you born?" the person opening the account picks **Month** and **Year**. Nothing is preselected.
2. Tap **Continue**.
3. Under "Is this right?" tap **Confirm**. This can't be changed later.

[Setting up your business](unternehmen-einrichten) then continues.

## Under 18
Anyone under 18 sees "NFCeez Business is for ages 18 and over." and can't open an account. That page only offers **Sign out** and **Delete account**.

If you entered the wrong date, write to support@nfceez.de.

## Common questions
**Why only month and year?** That's all it takes to check the age. The day isn't asked for.

**Do guests or the team see this?** It doesn't appear anywhere on your Smart Page. How NFCeez stores it is in the Privacy Policy.

**Do team members have to enter it too?** The question is part of setting up a business. People you invite don't set up a business and start by choosing an avatar instead.
