Verification

Version 4.1 · Effective 2026-08-06

1. Purpose and limits

Verification reduces specific information risks by checking evidence configured for an account or category. It is not an endorsement, insurance policy, continuous background check or guarantee of identity, competence, solvency, safety, lawful performance or future behaviour.

2. Badge meanings

Not verified means no named check is complete. Contact verified means control of an email or phone was confirmed. Identity verified means configured identity evidence was reviewed. Business verified means registration details were matched. Payment account, professional licence or fully verified labels may be used only when the corresponding documented check is complete and current.

3. Identity and contact checks

Findit may request a government document, selfie or liveness step, date of birth, address or verified contact through an approved provider. Only necessary data should be collected, access restricted and retention defined. A name match does not verify every statement in a Listing.

4. Business and trader checks

Checks may include KRS, CEIDG, tax or other official registers, authorised representative status, trading address and beneficial ownership where required. The account must accurately state trader or private-seller status. A registry check does not prove financial health or authorise a regulated activity.

5. Category credentials

Regulated or higher-risk categories may require current licences, KRAZ registration, professional membership, insurance, vehicle documents, food-registration evidence or product-safety information. Findit must state exactly what was reviewed and must not display a licence badge based only on self-declaration.

6. Payment-account checks

Where online payment is enabled, the payment provider may conduct identity, business, sanctions, fraud and bank-account checks under its own legal duties. A payment-account badge confirms only the configured result and does not mean that funds are guaranteed or that every category is approved.

7. Expiry and rechecks

Evidence may expire, become inaccurate or be revoked. Providers must notify material changes and renew time-limited documents. Findit may recheck after expiry, risk signals, complaints, ownership changes or legal updates and may show pending, expired, rejected or revoked status.

8. Fraud and tampering

Submitting altered, stolen, misleading or borrowed evidence is prohibited and may lead to restriction, evidence preservation and reporting to competent authorities. Findit may use manual and automated signals, but a consequential adverse decision should receive human review where required.

9. Display and user responsibility

The profile should show the badge type, its limited meaning and, where useful and lawful, the check or validity date. Customers should still review qualifications, scope, price, insurance, references and safety needs appropriate to the transaction.

10. Privacy and third parties

Verification data is processed under the Privacy Policy and may be shared with an approved verification or payment provider, registry or authority where lawful. Special-category or biometric data requires a specific assessment and lawful basis before use. Raw documents should not be retained longer than necessary.

11. Suspension, correction and appeal

Findit may pause a badge or category while evidence is incomplete or disputed. The account holder may correct inaccurate information and appeal a rejection or revocation through the complaints route. Restoring a badge requires the relevant check to be satisfied, not merely the passage of time.

12. Badge-specific evidence and Trusted Partner status

Insurance verified may be displayed only where the named policy, provider, insured party, material scope and validity period were reviewed. Employment agency or KRAZ verified may be displayed only where the agency and current register entry were matched. Professional credential verified must identify the profession or credential reviewed and must not imply that Findit continuously monitors every disciplinary, licence or insurance database.

Trusted Partner means the documented combination of checks shown in the badge explanation and any separately accepted commercial terms. It is not a permanent status, regulator approval, quality guarantee, credit assessment or promise of future conduct. Findit may require re-verification after expiry, ownership change, credible complaint, material inconsistency or category-law change, and must remove or qualify a badge when the underlying evidence is no longer current.
