Some members carry the VibeXo Verified badge — the gradient-ring heart-and-check shown beside their name and on their photo. This document states precisely what that badge does and does not mean.

1. What the badge means

A badged member completed identity verification, and at the time the check ran:

• A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's licence or national ID) was presented and passed the provider's document checks.
• The date of birth on that document showed the member is 18 or older.
• A live selfie matched the face on the document.
• A liveness check passed — the person in front of the camera was a real, present human, not a photo, video or mask.

The badge is issued only when all four pass. If any part fails — underage on the document, an expired or unreadable document, a face that does not match, or a failed liveness check — no badge is issued.

2. Who runs the check, and what VibeXo keeps

• The check is run by our verification provider, Persona, which processes the ID and selfie under its own security and privacy controls.
• VibeXo never receives or stores your ID images, your selfie or any biometric template. We keep only the outcome: pass or fail, that liveness passed, and the verified date of birth, as the Privacy Policy describes (section 3).

3. What the badge does NOT mean

• It is not a background check. We do not check criminal history, references, employment, finances or character.
• It is not a safety guarantee. A verified member can still disappoint you, mislead you or behave badly; an unverified member is not thereby dishonest.
• It does not mean VibeXo endorses the member, vouches for their intentions, or accepts responsibility for their conduct — online or at any meeting. The Terms of Service (sections 2 and 3) apply in full: your choices are your own, and our Meeting Safely guidance is worth following with every member, badged or not.
• Identity checks reduce certain risks — underage accounts, stolen photos, impersonation — they do not eliminate risk.

4. Keeping the badge honest

• A badge can be revoked if we learn the check was obtained fraudulently, the account is transferred to another person, or the member is banned under the Community Guidelines.
• Verification reflects the document and face presented at check time. If your legal name or document changes, you may be asked to verify again.
• Report anyone who claims their badge means more than this document says: [email protected].
