✅ Verification & trust

Verification is not about surveillance — it is against spam, fraud and fake accounts.

Three levels, each showing what is really confirmed:

• Bronze — email: confirms control of an inbox.
• Silver — identity: ID check via a specialised provider. Confirmed data (name, date of birth) becomes immutable; editing it yourself is locked.
• Gold — phone: confirmed number via SMS code; no number twice.

What a badge means — and what it does not

A badge shows that a proof was provided. It is not a guarantee of good behaviour. It reduces automated sign-ups, throwaway accounts and false claims — it cannot rule them out entirely.
