Verification on Safegram is a two-tier policy. It is free, takes about 60 seconds, and is strongly encouraged for every member — you unlock the Peacemaker Ring and full platform trust. It is REQUIRED for every business, creator and seller: no verification, no listings, no storefront, no paid services. Only verified profiles can transact on Safegram.
Members can browse, follow and post without verifying, but we strongly encourage everyone to verify — it's free, takes ~60 seconds, and unlocks the Peacemaker Ring plus full trust in DMs, comments and groups. For every business, creator and seller, verification is mandatory: your first listing does not go live until KYC or KYB has passed.
Verification can include phone, email, government-ID identity, KYB (Know-Your-Business) and Ultimate Beneficial Owner checks depending on the account type. Verified users receive a visible trust badge and the Peacemaker Ring.
Fake profiles drive harassment, scams and impersonation. Requiring every seller to be verified — and making member verification free and painless — raises the cost of creating fake accounts and gives the whole community a clear signal of who is real.
No verification system is perfect. Verification reduces fake profiles and blocks anonymous sellers but you should still apply common sense — meet in public for in-person trades, keep chat on-platform, avoid unusual payment requests.
Documents submitted for verification are processed by Didit as our sub-processor and are not shown on your public profile. Safegram stores only the verification outcome and badge — not your document images.
No — for members it's free and strongly encouraged but optional. For every business, creator and seller it is required before your first listing goes live. Only verified profiles can list, sell, offer services or accept payments on Safegram.
No. Only verified sellers and businesses can list products, offer services or accept payments on Safegram. Every marketplace listing comes from an account that has passed Didit-powered KYC or KYB checks.
Identity, seller and business verification on Safegram is performed by our verification partner Didit (didit.me) — a Y Combinator and Robinhood Ventures-backed identity infrastructure provider, ISO/IEC 27001 certified and EU-regulated, used by 2,000+ organisations worldwide including Firecrawl, Slash, Bit2Me and UCSF Neuroscape. See /verification-partner for full detail.
Yes. Verification is free for everyone — free for members, and free for businesses, creators and sellers. Always.
No. Only the verification status is shown publicly. ID documents are processed by Didit as our sub-processor; Safegram stores the verification outcome and badge, not your document images.
Most Didit checks complete end-to-end in under two seconds; some manual reviews may take longer.
Yes. Repeated policy violations, fraud or impersonation can lead to loss of badge and account suspension.
It is proof of identity, not of trustworthiness. Use verified status together with reviews, conversation context and common sense.
No. Didit performs the check as our sub-processor; Safegram receives only a pass or fail result and the badge. We never hold your ID images or biometric templates.
No. Your legal name is not published because you verified. You choose your display name and what appears on your profile — the badge simply says a real person passed a check.
Never. Verification data is used for trust and fraud prevention only. Safegram does not sell personal data and runs no ad-profiling on members.
Yes. Data is processed in the EU under GDPR and you can request export or deletion at any time — see our privacy page for how.
