Maven Research is a global network of industry professionals and experts who seek to connect with others to share their knowledge. Maven allows members to participate in short duration telephone consultations and electronic surveys in exchange for direct compensation by Maven's clients.

Online Identity Issues

Maven needed an identity verification mechanism to verify its growing list of professionals. This was required in order to remain in compliance with applicable laws and to provide reassurance to their clients by preventing online fraud. In addition, this was an avenue for the professionals of Maven to show that they are "who they say they are".

Identity Solution

Using the Trufina ID Server API, Maven can now securely verify the name, date of birth, and location of their professionals. Once verified, the professional's Maven profile is updated with a Trufina seal, demonstrating that this professional has verified their identity. Professionals can elect to add their real name and location to their data badge, or they can choose to keep that information private and simply represent that it has been verified. This demonstrates a concept that Trufina and Maven takes very seriously: your privacy is yours to control at all times.

Outcome

Now, Maven clients can be rest assured that they are interacting with "real" people. This goes a long way in preventing fraud on their site.

Also, Maven professionals can show that they are verified individuals through the Trufina verified badge on their Maven profile. They can also use their Trufina profile information on other sites, blogs and websites.
