Verification is a manual and transparent process designed to build trust without promising what can't be verified. The goal is to confirm the person managing the profile matches the published photos, through a simple request and human review by the team.
This process exists to reduce fake profiles, prevent image reuse, and give visitors a clear sign that the profile was reviewed by people. It also helps maintain minimum quality standards for descriptions, photos, and contact information.
When the user starts the process, we ask for a recent selfie and a simple gesture indicated at the moment. The gesture changes to prevent reuse of old images and should be done with a visible face and good lighting.
Verification does not require ID documents. The focus is confirming consistency between the selfie and the public profile photos, quickly and with minimal friction.
The team compares the selfie with the profile photos, checks clarity, facial consistency, and overall presentation. When in doubt, we request a new submission with simple guidance. There is no automatic approval; the goal is to keep the process human and trustworthy.
Verification only confirms the visual identity of the profile compared to the provided photos. It does not validate future behavior, availability, specific services, or any commitment outside the platform.
That's why we always encourage direct contact with clarity and mutual respect. The verification badge is an additional trust signal, but it does not replace individual judgment.
The selfie sent for verification is used only for this process and is not publicly exposed. Access is restricted to the validation team. If the profile is approved, we keep the necessary records for audit; if rejected, we explain the reason and request a new submission when applicable.
Verification is not a guarantee of future behavior or availability. It is only a visual validation of the profile at the time of submission. This protects the community against fake profiles but does not replace individual care when contacting.
The platform reserves the right to suspend profiles that violate the terms, publish misleading content, or show relevant inconsistencies. Whenever possible, we provide clear feedback so the user can correct and resubmit.
These details reduce resubmissions and help complete verification faster. On average, the team responds within a few hours on business days.
