The identity rule holds the product together.
One Match limits each person to one account. That makes review obligations, suspensions, and bans meaningful even after someone changes a phone number or reinstalls the app.
How verification is planned to work
- One Match explains the collection and asks for consent.
- Stripe Identity collects a government document and live selfie.
- Stripe checks the document, age, and whether the live person matches it.
- One Match receives the result and creates an identity anchor.
- A duplicate document anchor blocks a second account.
The final screen and consent text require legal review before launch.
What One Match keeps
| Information | One Match plan |
|---|---|
| Document image | Not stored by One Match. |
| Selfie or biometric template | Not stored by One Match. The provider must delete the template after matching. |
| Verification reference and result | Stored to prove the check occurred. |
| Derived age | Stored for adult eligibility. |
| Document-number hash | Stored as the duplicate-account anchor. |
| Phone number | Stored for sign-in and contact, but never treated as the permanent identity key. |

Verification is not a safety guarantee.
It does not prove that a profile is honest in every detail, that someone is single, or that meeting them is safe. One Match does not run criminal background checks.
Quebec remains under review.
One Match will not launch identity verification in Quebec until counsel approves the biometric process and any required regulator notice. The rest of the Canadian launch also needs a completed privacy review.
Legal must approve the vendor retention settings, Quebec availability, consent wording, and identity-appeal process.
