Terms of Service

The rules and guidelines for using SOCYiD.

Last updated: November 13, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using SOCYiD ("the Service"), operated by SOCYiD Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, please do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and SOCYiD Inc.

2. Description of Service

SOCYiD is a safety verification platform designed to help people meet safely in real-world settings. The Service provides identity verification tools, GPS-based location sharing, meeting coordination, secure messaging, rating systems, and safety features including SOS alerts and trusted contact notifications. SOCYiD does not provide background check services, criminal record checks, or law enforcement services.

3. Service Scope and Limitations

SOCYiD provides technology tools to assist with identity verification and meeting safety. However:

  • Identity verification verifies government-issued ID authenticity, not criminal history or background
  • GPS location data accuracy depends on device capabilities and environmental factors
  • SOS emergency alerts supplement, but do not replace, official emergency services (911). Always contact emergency services directly in life-threatening situations
  • Rating systems reflect individual user opinions and are not verified by SOCYiD
  • SOCYiD does not guarantee the safety of any in-person meeting and cannot prevent harmful actions by users
