Verified Organizations Program (Gold Badge)

1. Purpose of Organization Verification

The gold badge indicates that an account represents a verified organization and has passed enhanced authenticity checks. It is designed to:

• Help users identify official organizational accounts.
• Reduce brand impersonation and fraud.
• Support trusted communications during crises and important events.

The badge is a signal of authenticity, not a sponsorship or endorsement by Vibble or Nexa Group.

2. Eligible Organization Types

Examples of eligible organizations include, but are not limited to:

• Registered businesses and corporations.
• News organizations and media publishers.
• Nonprofits, NGOs, and advocacy groups.
• Educational institutions and research centers.
• Cultural institutions, sports clubs, and entertainment brands.

3. Eligibility Criteria

• Legally registered entity with verifiable documentation.
• Public-facing website under the organization’s control.
• Official email domain (e.g., @company.com, not free email services).
• Consistent branding across Vibble account and external presence.
• No history of severe policy or legal violations on Vibble.

4. Application Requirements

When applying for organization verification, applicants may be asked to provide:

• Legal registration certificates or equivalent documents.
• Proof of domain ownership (DNS verification, email, or meta-tag methods).
• Identification of one or more authorized account administrators.
• Links to official websites, press references, or regulatory registers.

5. Multi-Admin & Affiliated Accounts

Verified organizations may connect multiple administrators and affiliated accounts to the main organizational profile. Rules governing this are defined in the Organization “Affiliated Accounts” System Policy and include:

• Clear role designation (e.g., PR lead, spokesperson, regional account).
• Internal controls to prevent unauthorized access and misuse.
• Immediate revocation of access for former employees or compromised logins.

6. Brand Protection & Fraud Prevention

Vibble may proactively apply or recommend organization verification where impersonation risk is high. The platform reserves the right to:

• Reject applications that appear fraudulent or misleading.
• Remove or downgrade accounts found impersonating legitimate organizations.
• Work with rights holders and regulators to prevent brand abuse.

7. Ongoing Compliance & Responsibilities

Verified organizations must:

• Maintain accurate profile details and contact information.
• Promptly update information during mergers, rebranding, or structural changes.
• Respect all Vibble content, advertising, and safety policies.
• Cooperate in investigations of impersonation or misuse.

8. Misuse, Suspension & Badge Removal

Misuse of verified status, including deceptive campaigns, fraud, or policy violations, may result in:

• Removal of the gold badge.
• Account restrictions or suspension.
• Disconnection of affiliated accounts.
• Legal escalation where required.

Detailed conditions are described in the Badge Removal & Misuse Penalties and Impersonation Enforcement Rules.

9. Appeals & Re-Verification

Organizations may appeal verification denials or badge removal where they believe an error has occurred. Vibble may request updated documentation or additional verification steps during re-assessment.
