Just Eat issues warning to customers to update app over new order rules
JUST Eat has warned customers that they will need to provide new information for deliveries.
As part of the new app update, the take-away hub will be asking shoppers to provide a date of birth and photo ID to prove it when purchasing certain items.
In a message to diners Just Eat said that "we'll soon need your date of birth".
It continued: "We’ll soon need your birth date, in our continued efforts to improve safety and security around age-restricted items, you will soon be asked to enter your date of birth when ordering age-restricted items in the upcoming app update.
"Once the courier has arrived, you will confirm you are of legal age with photo ID, and your birth date will be recorded in order to complete the delivery."
The food delivery app also reassured customers that the personal information will be kept secure and only used for confirming they are old enough to buy certain items.
