Business Verification Policy
How Peeptown may verify business identity, ownership, authorization, and verified status.
Verification Methods
Effective May 10, 2026. Last updated May 10, 2026.
Peeptown may use one or more verification methods to assess whether an applicant is authorized to manage a business profile. The verification methods used may vary depending on the type of business, industry, geographic location, level of risk, available information, legal requirements, or other factors determined by Peeptown.
The selection of a verification method does not guarantee approval of a verification request, nor does the absence of a particular verification method prevent Peeptown from making a verification decision.
6.1 Email Verification
Peeptown may verify a claimant by requiring confirmation through an email address associated with the business, including an email address using the business's official domain where available. Peeptown may determine whether an email address provides sufficient evidence of authority based on the circumstances of the verification request.
6.2 Telephone Verification
Verification may be completed through a telephone call, SMS, one-time verification code, or other communication sent to a telephone number reasonably associated with the business. Peeptown may determine whether the telephone information is sufficient to support verification.
6.3 Domain Verification
Where appropriate, Peeptown may verify control of a business through ownership or administration of the business's official website or internet domain. Applicants may be required to complete technical or administrative verification steps demonstrating reasonable control of the domain.
6.4 Document Verification
Applicants may be required to submit business registration records, licenses, certificates, government-issued identification, proof of address, authorization letters, or other documentation reasonably requested by Peeptown to support the verification process.
6.5 Government and Public Records
Peeptown may review publicly available government records, regulatory databases, corporate registries, licensing authorities, or other official sources to assist in evaluating a verification request. Availability and reliability of such records may vary between jurisdictions.
6.6 Third-Party Data Sources
Where permitted by applicable law, Peeptown may use reputable third-party service providers, commercial databases, identity verification services, fraud prevention tools, business information providers, or other independent sources to assist in verifying information submitted by an applicant.
6.7 Additional Verification Methods
Peeptown may implement additional verification procedures or require supplementary verification measures where reasonably necessary. These may include live verification sessions, ownership confirmations, verification through official business communications, account history reviews, risk-based assessments, or any other method that Peeptown reasonably considers appropriate.
Applicants may be required to successfully complete one or more verification methods before verification is approved. Peeptown reserves the right to modify, replace, discontinue, or introduce verification methods at any time without prior notice in response to legal requirements, technological developments, security considerations, fraud prevention measures, or operational needs.
Failure or inability to complete a requested verification method may result in a delay, rejection, suspension, or revocation of verification where Peeptown reasonably determines that sufficient assurance of authority or identity cannot be established.
