Verification images
During the registration process, five images are captured from a live video feed. These images are stored and displayed to Members to help mitigate the risk of engaging with non-genuine individuals. The images are pixelated with a coarse grid by default. This grid is refined based on VIP status or interaction with other Memebers as defined below:
VIP Members see other Members verification images with a fine grid.
Members who have interacted with each other see verification images with a fine grid.
Members who have not interacted with each other see verification images with a coarse grid.
The Company reserves the right to change the resolution of the above grids at a later date.
Verification images are shared across all accounts held by you within our network. In the event that an account is deleted, the verification images shall be retained until such time as your final remaining account is removed. This retention is necessary to maintain your verification status and to ensure that verification is required only once.
