Trust & verification

Verification confirms facts. It never guarantees character.

Trust and identity verification are the platform’s differentiators — and the place where honest language matters most. Here is exactly what KONNOVA checks, what each badge means, and what it deliberately does not claim.

Vendor-backed checksTyped, time-bound claimsHuman review & appealNo opaque scores
Verification levels

Modular, vendor-backed, and precisely labeled.

Verification is not one switch. Each level is a separate typed claim with its own provider, evidence reference, status and date — so confirming an email never implies an identity check, and confirming an identity never implies anything about money, ability or character.

The badge set

Every badge has a public definition and date logic.

Paid status is never visually or semantically confused with identity or contact verification.

Identity Verified

The blue check. KONNOVA has verified this member's government ID and a live selfie through a specialist provider. A one-time $4.99 fee covers the check; documents are never shown to other members.

Contact Verified

Email and phone have been confirmed for this account.

New Member

A recently created account with limited history. Not a warning — just a fact.

Completed Through KONNOVA

A booking or collaboration both sides confirmed as completed.

KONNOVA Pro

A paid membership. Never a trust, identity or credential signal.

Under Review

Additional verification is in progress, or the item is queued for human review.

Reported

Unverified or flagged activity. Take care and confirm terms independently.

The blue check

Identity Verified is a one-time $4.99. Government ID plus a live selfie, checked by a specialist provider, and the blue check appears on your profile as soon as it clears.

The fee covers the check itself and is non-refundable once the check has run. It never buys ranking, reach or trust beyond the fact it confirms. Your documents are stored privately, are never shown to other members, and are deleted after review except for the record that the check passed or failed.

The product principle we will not soften

“Identity Verified means KONNOVA has verified certain identity information. It does not represent an endorsement or guarantee that a user, opportunity or investment is legitimate, profitable or risk-free.”

Contextual warnings sit exactly where risk occurs — before accepting a booking, paying outside the platform, sharing private contact details, or opening an external link.

Fraud resistance is a system, not a badge

Six threats, the controls that catch them, and what happens next.

KONNOVA combines identity evidence, behavioural risk detection, action limits, recipient consent, human review, user education and an appeal route.

Impersonation or account takeover
Identity claims with liveness where appropriate, MFA and passkeys, device and session alerts, and re-authentication on high-risk actions.
Freeze risky actions, protect evidence, restore owner access, remove false claims and notify affected parties.
Fake investor or funding scam
Identity review, opt-in contact, purpose-stated requests, risky-language and payment detection, and limits on mass outreach.
Hold outreach, specialist review, warnings, suspension and coordinated victim support.
Fake event or booking
Venue, domain, date and contact checks, listing quality rules, duplicate detection and formal offers with clear states.
Pause the listing, notify applicants, preserve communications and reverse platform actions where possible.
Fake credentials or claims
Self-reported information is always labeled as such, never shown as verified, and never given ranking weight.
Remove or relabel the claim, reduce ranking influence and request evidence without public accusation.
Subscription or credit abuse
A regulated processor for memberships and credits, no direct custody, velocity limits, dispute and refund controls, ledger reconciliation.
Stop fulfillment, secure the account, reconcile provider truth and escalate chargeback or fraud review.
Spam, phishing or malware
Link reputation, attachment scanning, DM consent, rate limits, repeated-message detection and external-payment warnings.
Quarantine content, warn intended recipients, revoke sessions and investigate linked accounts.
High-risk actions

Re-authentication, notification and a cooling-off step.

Consequential changes require clear confirmation and notify the owner through an independent channel. Suspicious changes get manual review, and emergency session revocation is always available.

Privacy controls

Field-level and section-level visibility, set by you.

Legal names, identity documents, financial information and private contact details are never public by default. Blocked members cannot message, follow, connect or view restricted information.

Everyone

Public on your profile and in search.

Verified Users

Visible only to members who have completed verification.

Connections Only

Visible to people you have accepted a connection with.

Private

Visible only to you.

Members can also report accounts, messages, opportunities, events and booking requests for scam, impersonation, fraud, harassment, spam or inappropriate content.

Moderation, appeals and your data

Enforcement that explains itself.

Risk-based review

Automated signals plus trained human decision-making, with service-level queues for impersonation, financial scams, credible threats, harassment, minors, billing and ordinary content disputes.

Transparent notices

An enforcement notice names the rule, the affected content or account, the duration and the appeal route — except where disclosure would itself create risk.

Data protection

Consent records, privacy settings, downloadable data, account deletion, retention schedules and deletion propagated to processors. A deleted account does not silently remain discoverable.

Trust is the product.

Everything else on KONNOVA depends on knowing who you are dealing with.
