Instead of requiring a specific date of birth (which can be entered intentionally incorrectly), have a tick box with:
"I agree that I am of the required minimum age in my country"
or
"I agree that in order to use Fluxer I am 13+ years old"
or
"I confirm that I am 18+ years old in compliance with my country's minimum age laws"
etc.

Why is date of birth (DOB) required and how is that sensitive information stored and protected?
What needs fixing?
I cannot find any information/explanation of these questions in the documentation:
Why is a specific date of birth required vs other options (see below under Suggested Wording for examples)
How is this sensitive information stored?
How is this stored information protected (e.g. prevented from being stolen)?
(In case it matters, I am in a country that does not currently have a minimum age requirement and yet I am still being asked for date of birth.)
