1. Purpose
Verification helps reduce impersonation, payment, licensing and marketplace risk. It is not a warranty of performance quality, safety, solvency, legal compliance or suitability.
2. What may be verified
Email and mobile ownership; identity and age indicators; business or representative authority; PAN, GST or incorporation details; bank ownership; address; artist portfolio; venue location, capacity and licences; organiser history; and payment-provider or fraud signals.
3. Methods
Verification may use document review, provider checks, public records, bank-account validation, live or recorded confirmation, domain email, in-person review, or risk-based follow-up. Only necessary data should be collected.
4. Status and expiry
A badge indicates that specified checks were completed at a point in time. It may expire, be limited to a field, or be removed when information changes, a licence lapses, risk arises, or the partner breaches policy.
5. Appeals and corrections
A rejected applicant may submit corrected documents or request review. Encoreats may withhold internal fraud signals where disclosure would undermine security or violate law.
6. Privacy
Verification data is handled under the Privacy Policy and retained only as necessary for the purpose, legal obligations, disputes and fraud prevention.
