Unmasking The Real Identity Behind Social Media

Our API and Caspar leverage a multifaceted approach to ensure the accuracy of the social media data collected. This involves aggregating data from multiple, trusted sources, which is a critical step in enhancing the reliability of the information. By cross-referencing data across these sources, inconsistencies can be identified and resolved, thereby improving data accuracy. Furthermore, overlaying this data with contact and persona metrics plays a pivotal role in validating the profiles.

Prevents costly hiring mistakes. Social media data often reveals far more information than a resume provides. Hiring someone with a hidden criminal history, a fake profile, or false employment claims can cost your business dearly. This solution helps catch fraud before it damages your brand or clients.

Social Media Verification contributes significantly to regulatory compliance and fraud prevention by adding an additional layer of identity verification. This supplementary step is vital, especially in industries where identity verification is crucial, such as banking, finance, and online marketplaces. By verifying an individual’s social media presence and aligning it with their provided identity, organisations can deter fraudulent activities, including identity theft and financial fraud. This process helps in ensuring that onboarding processes are strengthened, not just by traditional means of verification but by leveraging digital footprints that individuals leave online. Consequently, it aids organisations in adhering to stringent regulatory requirements related to customer identification and due diligence.

For profiles with restricted privacy settings, Caspar adopts a respectful and privacy-compliant approach. No data is extracted from profiles that have their privacy settings restricted unless Caspar had previously verified the profile while it was public. This ensures that the privacy of individuals is respected, and that Caspar operates within the legal frameworks governing digital privacy and data protection. This practice underscores the importance Caspar places on ethical data use and privacy preservation, crucial in maintaining trust with users and regulatory bodies.

Caspar’s capability to verify social media profiles may vary across different platforms, subject to the partnerships, accessibilities, and agreements we have with these platforms. Some of our supported social media profiles include; Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Indeed, Github, Meetup, Quora, Gravatar, Foursquare, Pinterest and various others.

Within Caspar Pro, our SaaS solution, social media queries are provided as a complimentary feature, adding significant value to the subscription. For users requiring access via our API, charges apply and are based on the volume of queries conducted and are transaction based.

The data used in our Social Media Verification solution is updated daily, sourcing from several data providers that update at different frequencies, some daily and some weekly and monthly.
