With the rise of scams across the Internet and online dating platforms, Seeking is proud to set the standards for online safety. As we advocate for our members’ privacy and empower you to find honest connections, we continue to offer the most innovative technologies to enhance your security.
In honor of International Fraud Awareness Week, Seeking is launching our “Seeking Security – Protect Your Identity” campaign, offering members free access to ID verification on the site. Starting November 14th and running until November 19th, Seeking will join hundreds of international organizations in an effort to shed light on fraud prevention. We urge our members to take advantage of the security measures that we have in place, as well as take an active role in making safety the top priority of online dating. Along with our other security practices, ID verification is a tried and tested approach to safer online dating.
Seeking’s Safety Measures
As the leader in online dating, Seeking is dedicated to being the best in the community. We are committed to creating an environment conducive to honest connections. We believe it’s our job not only to help you find your match safely and quickly, but also help you avoid any scams during your online dating journey. This is how we actively work to prevent online fraud and make your security a top priority for us.
ID Verification
Identity verification is a key component of our platform. To ensure the safety of our members and prevent fraud, we encourage all our members to take advantage of identity verification as a way to authenticate users in our community.
With this process, Seeking hopes to prevent the various forms of fraud, crime, and identity manipulation that can occur online. It’s a safety measure that lowers the risk of fake profiles and creates accountability among members of our community.
As an ID-verified member, you receive:
- A verification badge on your profile: This attracts more serious partners and increases trust from other members
- Protection from impersonation: Verifying your identity with us helps maintain your own privacy and prevents scammers from impersonating you.
AI & IRL Monitoring
At Seeking, we make the most of technology and human power to keep you safe. Our teams use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and our own humans-in-the-loop (HITL) system to continuously scan profiles for keywords, suspicious images, and fraudulent behavior. This machine-learning system is our constant watch to protect your privacy and enhance your peace of mind.
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Designed to provide secure communications over a computer network, our websites offer Transport Layer Security (TLS) to offer privacy and keep your data safe. Among other benefits, this technology helps us:
- Protect your credit card data
- Monitor against privacy threats
- Authenticate your credentials
Terms of Use
We have put in place some of the most stringent terms of use, to protect our community as well as society members whose safety may be at risk. This is why we prohibit the use of our platform to individuals who:
- Are under the age of 18
