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.
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.
| Level | Evidence | Member-facing status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Contact | Email address confirmed on the account | Contact Verified |
| 2 — Identity | Government ID and a matching live selfie, checked via a specialist providerUnlocks the blue check for a one-time $4.99. | Identity Verified |
Paid status is never visually or semantically confused with identity or contact verification.
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.
Email confirmed for this account. Automatic when you confirm your sign-up email.
A recently created account with limited history. Not a warning — just a fact.
A company email, public credits, a roster, a website, an affiliation or references have been confirmed. Free, reviewed by a person.
A paid membership. Never a trust, identity or credential signal.
Additional verification is in progress, or the item is queued for human review.
Business registration, legal name, address, authorised representative and domain have been confirmed. Free, reviewed by a person.
Identity Verified is a one-time $4.99, valid for a year. 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. Verified members can rank higher in search, but the badge never vouches for more than the fact it confirms. Your documents go to the specialist provider, never to other members.
“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 — on booking offers and paid listings, when contact details are swapped before a booking, and on messages that look like a scam.
KONNOVA combines identity evidence, behavioral risk detection, action limits, recipient consent, human review, user education and an appeal route.
Consequential actions require a fresh sign-in and a clear confirmation before they go through. Leaked passwords and risky sign-ins are blocked, and you can sign out of every device at any time.
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.
Public on your profile and in search.
Visible only to members who have completed verification.
Visible to people you have accepted a connection with.
Visible only to you.
Members can also report accounts, messages, opportunities, events and booking requests for scam, impersonation, fraud, harassment, spam or inappropriate content.
Automated signals plus human decisions by our team. Reports of scams, impersonation, fraud or a minor’s safety go to the top of the review queue, and child-safety reports alert staff at once.
An enforcement notice names the reason, the affected content or account, and how to appeal from Settings > Support — except where disclosure would itself create risk.
Consent records, privacy settings, downloadable data, account deletion, retention schedules and deletion propagated to processors. A deleted account does not silently remain discoverable.
Everything else on KONNOVA depends on knowing who you are dealing with.
