Tinder has announced it will make members ID Verification available around the world in the coming quarters.
The dating app said it will take into consideration expert recommendations, input from members, what documents are most appropriate in each country, & local laws and regulations, as it determines how the feature will roll out. The product will begin as voluntary, except where mandated by law. Based on the inputs received, the feature will evolve to ensure an equitable, inclusive & privacy-friendly approach to ID Verification.
“ID Verification is complex and nuanced, which is why we are taking a test-and-learn approach to the rollout,” said Rory Kozoll, Head of Trust & Safety Product at Tinder in a written statement. “We know one of the most valuable things Tinder can do to make members feel safe is to give them more confidence that their matches are authentic & more control over who they interact with. And we hope all our members worldwide will see the benefits of interacting with people who have gone through our ID verification process.”
