Trust & Safety - 12 Safety Systems Protecting Our Community | Virimbo

Virimbo turns security into a community feature, not a hidden compliance burden. Twelve layered systems protect every interaction on the platform. Identity Verification: every member profile shows a verification badge with four levels (unverified, photo-verified, photo plus live video, or full government ID check). Romance Scam Detection: after the fifth message in any dating conversation, AI scans for five red-flag patterns including love-bombing, financial requests, off-platform attempts, urgency tactics, and abnormal speed. Harassment Protection: progressive strike system from warning to permanent ban. Bot and Fake Account Prevention: invisible verification challenge on sign-in, signup velocity tracking, and API-level automation detection. Anti-Spam Protection: per-minute burst limits prevent mass-messaging at every tier. Stalking Prevention: blocking propagates to event attendance, and event-overlap patterns trigger admin review. Age Verification: server-side checks at sign-up, 16+ for general use (GDPR Article 8), 18+ for dating features. Image Abuse Protection: every dating message image is scanned against known abusive material before delivery. Data Harvesting Defense: three-stage rate guard plus scraper detection plus minimal public API surface (first name and city only, never email or phone). Payment Security: 3D Secure required on every payment, shifting chargeback liability to the bank. Fair Reporting System: reports require verified-member reporters, multiple reports trigger admin review not auto-action, and false-reporting patterns are flagged. Compliance: GDPR, Digital Services Act, WCAG 2.1 AA, EU-based servers, Stripe PCI-DSS, Clerk SOC 2, encrypted in transit and at rest. Reports go to info@virimbo.nl with 24-hour review SLA.
