All users who transact on the platform will be subject to a background check as permitted by applicable law, which includes public state and county criminal records, state and national sex offender registries (NSOPW) and the OFAC list for terrorist designations. The user's full name and date of birth will be used to obtain such records.

As the platform grows, in an effort to make the shadowing community as secure as possible for everyone, users may at some point in the future be asked to provide a photo of a government-issued ID for verification purposes. The photo will be sent securely encrypted via a third-party partner and will never be shared with anyone else on the platform. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle, process, use and share any personal information from background checks or ID verification.
