Does Vennu do background checks?
No. Vennu does not run criminal background checks or ID checks on members. Photo verification only confirms that a person's photos match a selfie they took.
VENNU DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR IDENTITY VERIFICATION CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS.
What we do instead
- Phone number: members confirm a phone number before they can get verified.
- Photo checks: every photo is checked automatically for nudity and sexual content before others see it.
- Photo verification: a person compares a posed selfie with the profile photos. The badge means the photos match — not that we checked someone's identity or history.
- Text checks: names, bios, prompts, group texts and chat messages are checked automatically for threats, hate, harassment and content that sexualizes minors. Before you send a message that may hurt someone, the app asks whether you want to edit it or send it anyway. Clearly harmful messages go to a person on our team, with the conversation around them.
- Reports: a person reviews reports, and we act on them. An AI model may suggest an action, but a person decides.
