TOUCHME Identity Verification Policy

1. PURPOSE

This Identity Verification Policy explains how TOUCHME verifies user identities to improve safety, reduce fraud, prevent impersonation, and maintain a trusted community.

Verification helps increase confidence between users but does not guarantee the honesty, intentions, or future conduct of any individual.

2. OPTIONAL AND REQUIRED VERIFICATION

Identity verification may be:

• optional for general users;
• required for selected Platform features;
• required before receiving certain badges;
• required before monetization;
• required where necessary for legal compliance.

TOUCHME reserves the right to require identity verification at any time.

3. VERIFICATION METHODS

Verification may include one or more of the following:

• Email verification
• Phone number verification
• Selfie verification
• Government-issued identification
• Facial comparison technology
• Live selfie verification
• Additional security verification where necessary

The verification process may change as technology evolves.

4. VERIFICATION BADGES

Verified users may receive a verification badge.

A verification badge confirms only that the verification process has been successfully completed.

It does not:

• guarantee identity forever;
• guarantee good behavior;
• guarantee authenticity of all profile information;
• constitute endorsement by TOUCHME.

Verification status may be removed at any time.

5. FALSE INFORMATION

Providing false, misleading, altered, forged, or fraudulent identity information is prohibited.

This includes:

• fake documents;
• edited documents;
• stolen identities;
• impersonation;
• manipulated verification photos.

Violations may result in permanent account termination.

6. DATA PROTECTION

Verification information is processed securely.

Access is limited to authorized personnel and trusted verification providers where applicable.

Verification information is handled in accordance with the TOUCHME Privacy Policy.

7. RE-VERIFICATION

TOUCHME may request users to complete verification again if:

• suspicious activity is detected;
• account ownership changes are suspected;
• fraud indicators are identified;
• legal requirements change.

Failure to complete required verification may result in feature restrictions.

8. FAILED VERIFICATION

Verification may fail if:

• submitted information is incomplete;
• documents are invalid;
• identity cannot be confirmed;
• fraud indicators are detected.

Users may be invited to repeat the verification process.

9. ACCOUNT SECURITY

Verification is one element of Platform security.

Users remain responsible for:

• protecting login credentials;
• maintaining account security;
• reporting unauthorized access immediately.

10. LIMITATION

Identity verification reduces risk but cannot eliminate it.

Users should continue exercising caution when interacting with others both online and offline.
