Sign-up checks on Discrety: what is checked and why
Several checks help reduce fake profiles and bots. This guide explains what each step checks and what it does not check.
Anti-bot check
The sign-up form includes an automatic anti-bot check. Its purpose is to make it harder for programs to create accounts in bulk.
Photo verification
To verify a photo, you take a selfie with a gesture that the system asks for. The selfie is used only for verification, and it is deleted under the site's data retention rules.
The limits of the checks
The checks reduce fake profiles, but they cannot verify everything a person writes or says about themselves. Keep an eye out for the warning signs in the first-meeting guide too.
