Under the agreement, Intelius will provide Getogethersafe.com with the Intelius InteliSign -- an identity verification service, which allows users on the site to confirm that they are in fact, who they claim to be. In addition, Getogethersafe.com users will have access to Intelius Background Checks, which will include comprehensive criminal record and sex offender checks. Intelius InteliSign is a real-time solution for online dating sites. It allows users to maintain their anonymity, but confirms their identity as a real person to the community. Intelius InteliSign verifies users through a series of questions that confirm name, address, age, living situation, and criminal history. The Intelius system is a blind query that captures the user's information, runs the check and display's the results to the end user, without revealing any sensitive information. According to an MSN survey, 64% of the people surveyed who never visited an online dating site, list the reason as, "You can't trust the people you meet online." "Getogethersafe.com presents users with people who are truly interested in creating solid relationships, whereas many dating sites are focused on creating a mass volume of users, without regard to quality'" said Rana Adamchick, Chief Executive Officer of Getogethersafe.com. Intelius is a key partner for us, as their service provides our users with the confidence to interact on our site. Clients will be able to verify the person's identity, which can reduce the risk of harm, and of course, fraud." As long as they use the service, it should create a safer experience for them." "Anonymity is one of the great draws to dating sites. However, one of the challenges it presents is user misrepresentation," said Ed Petersen, Senior Vice President of Business Development of Intelius. "The deployment of InteliSign on the Getogethersafe.com dating site will assure that users are in fact, who they claim, whether it's confirming their age, their living situation, or their sex. InteliSign will build confidence in the Getogethersafe community, creating a safe environment where users can interact more freely."
