As people shift more of their daily interactions online, they are seeking ways to verify they are dealing with legitimate entities. In real life, individuals can observe someone's body language and tone to gauge their trustworthiness and decide whether to do business with them. When dealing with others online, there are often no clear signals.

ClarityCheck is a new platform for trust-building. It's fast and data-informed, enabling users to make informed decisions.

The Internet Has Changed the Meaning of "Trust"

Traditionally, trust in people, institutions, and businesses was built over time. With the advancement of digital technology, people now face tough choices, especially when they are asked to make decisions in seconds. ClarityCheck helps individuals determine whether an entity is credible and trustworthy.

ClarityCheck combines digital security, open-source research, and insights into daily internet behavior to help keep people safe online. The platform has reviewed over 25 million phone numbers, emails, and images and compiled a data-driven profile of how people handle what ClarityCheck calls "modern digital uncertainty." This includes a range of issues in the digital landscape, such as unknown calls, suspicious profiles, questionable dating interactions, and online fraud attempts.

"This experience informs ClarityCheck's perspective on how trust is built, lost, and repaired online," the spokesperson for ClarityCheck says.

Users Set Their Own Standards

The founders of ClarityCheck recognized a significant gap between people's natural intuition and the verification of trustworthiness in digital interactions. The platform seeks to fill that gap.

The platform provides a single, accessible place where people can verify whether an online contact is legitimate. People use the platform after encountering issues such as missed calls that seem suspicious, dating profiles that seem shady, and emails with suspicious or off-topic content.

ClarityCheck has also analyzed user behavior, and the data shows high repeat use of the platform. This is especially true in emotionally charged situations, such as an unexpected contact from the past or being ghosted.

If a first result raises additional issues, users will often run multiple checks until they are satisfied with the knowledge they've gained. Users might also return weeks later to re-check a contact after renewing communication with them to verify their story.

"These moments illustrate how verification has become part of modern digital intuition," the spokesperson for ClarityCheck adds.

Trust Requires Reliable Tools

ClarityCheck says that it has handled over 25 million searches to date. There are 150,000 active users on the platform, with 12% logging in daily. Many users return to run multiple searches, including follow-up searches. Among the various searches, phone number searches are on the rapid rise.

The most popular time to log in and search is between 6 and 10 PM, when people have come home from work or school. This aligns with a time period when people have time to think and make important decisions about their personal lives.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and European markets have accounted for most users, indicating strong adoption in those regions.

ClairtyCheck has over 19.5 thousand reviews on Trustpilot and a solid rating of 3.9. The platform is committed to helping people have secure, safe, and confident interactions with people online.
