The image file is your way of introducing yourself to the DirectDemocracyS system and shows that you trust us.
Represent your face, with a valid identity document, with a photograph, nearby, clearly visible. We only accept identity cards or passports, and only for minors, who do not have either document, we accept birth certificates, according to specific, very detailed rules and through forms reserved for these people.
The rules for minors under 18 are summarized in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/under-18-rules/under-18-specific-rules
We can assure you that we trust you too.
This mutual trust makes our relationship serious and indissoluble.
If DirectDemocracyS, or one of our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identity, do not respect this trust, towards you, you will have every right, to request explanations, to give us a negative review, and to report us to the competent authorities, but we can guarantee you, that you will never have any kind of problems.
If you prove that you do not deserve our trust, we may punish you by taking away points, or all the points you have accumulated, and in some cases, we may block you, or remove you from our system, or worse, we may make you persona non grata. In some cases, you may also lose your security deposit, or the annual fee you paid.
But why does DirectDemocracyS want to know who you are? The answer is very simple, to have a secure system, protect all personal data, respect privacy settings, and to guarantee the right of anyone to remain completely anonymous.
Knowing that the identity of anyone who joins us has been verified, and is guaranteed by our system, for all of us, and for you too, is fundamental, to be able to reward the best, and to be able to punish the worst.
Of course, according to our rules, our methodologies, and our instructions, the verification of anyone's identity, and the guarantee of this verification, are done in various stages, at different times, guaranteeing the right to anonymity, respect for personal privacy settings, and the protection of all personal data, of anyone who is part of our system.
At the end of this verification process, each of our registered users, with a verified and guaranteed identity, will be able to request, practically immediately and for free, the blue tick, next to their username, in our social area. The blue tick represents a fundamental measure, to be able to choose the most reliable people, for the various activities. It also helps anyone who has it, to carry out any activity, knowing that everyone trusts them, and working with those who have this blue tick, next to their username, will always know, that the person with whom they carry out various activities, has a verified and guaranteed identity, which can be easily identified, in case of problems.
Many people will ask, but didn't you have to guarantee anonymity? And the protection of personal data? And the privacy settings? We answer, with a short premise. In DirectDemocracyS, for anyone who is our registered user, with a verified and guaranteed identity, with the blue tick next to their username, there are many activities, of all types, in which they can participate, and for our official members, and for other types of higher users, the potential increases, and the activities to do, are practically infinite.
But to do everything, after logging in, on our website, you just need your username, which can be a nickname, a code of various types, according to our specific rules, on the username, which are presented, in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/for-registration/best-username
Of course, each person who joins us, in addition to the username, has a unique identification code, associated with their username, and a personal password, secret and used, only for the access forms, on our websites, which must never be communicated to anyone, and not even entered, in other forms, we repeat: it is only used, to access our websites. The personal password, is chosen and known by our user, through the registration form, according to very detailed rules, which are presented in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/security-measures/the-passwords
Every person who joins us, at the first login, after its activation, must do very important activities, the first, is to set up mandatory, 2-factor authentication, according to very detailed rules, which are presented in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/security-measures/2-factor-authentication
then, you will have to set your own privacy rules, personal data sharing rules, and finally you will have to choose how you want to receive notifications from our system.
To receive many of these notifications, and to recover, your username (if you forget it), or, to recover your password (if you forget it), you must have a personal email address, protected by a strong password, according to the specific rules, and detailed instructions, which are presented in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/instructions/for-users/for-registered-users/recover-account
Of course, we ask each of our users, even a phone number, but we do not recommend setting notifications, on your phone number, because over time, if you participate in many activities, in our system, you would receive a lot of notifications, on your phone, for these cases, we recommend using internal notifications, of our system, in our apps, and possibly, via email address, according to very detailed rules, which are presented in this informative article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/email-rules/email-specific-rules
So, in short, after logging into our website, to do anything, you just do it, using your username, and in some cases, providing in our forms, your unique identification code, in our system, which is a simple number, associated with your username.
In the initial verification of identities, almost everything happens completely automatically, with almost no human intervention. Furthermore, every piece of data that circulates in our system, from the most important to the most trivial, is encrypted with the best technologies and is always updated. In the verification of identities, by our video call groups, their only task is to ensure that the person present in the video, and who places their photo ID near their face during the video call, when asked, is actually the person in the ID presented to the person having their identity verified. In short, our system generates a code that is sent to our video call operator, who, after verifying the legality of the video call, issues a second code for the code received, which the system automatically matches to the username, personal email address and identification number in DirectDemocracyS of the verified person, without any human intervention and without any possible tampering. In this way, our human operator has no way of knowing which username the person whose identity he has verified has been matched with. The identity verification phase is carried out according to very detailed rules, which are presented in this informative article at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/all-our-rules/profile-rules/identity-verification
In the future, and when necessary, we will do a subsequent phase of identity verification, checking that the person who has accessed one of our websites is actually the person authorized to do so, but also by having our user meet in person with one of our identity verification teams, who will be physically present at the identity verification, always with identity documents, and based on implementing rules. Obviously, we use all means to verify, wherever necessary, the authenticity of identity documents, carrying out all necessary checks, at any time.
At this point, many will ask: what if I am invited by a DirectDemocracyS user, who directly verifies my identity, and guarantees for me, assuming full responsibility for my behavior, will this person know my username? The simplest and most obvious answer is that if a person first invites you to fully inform yourself about our entire system, and then invites you to join us, personally guaranteeing your identity, and assuming full responsibility for your behavior, it is because between the two of you, there is a relationship of esteem, respect, and trust. It would therefore be useless to hide, especially if you are: relatives, friends, neighbors, therefore direct acquaintances. Technically, in certain cases, through specific, very detailed rules, it is possible to keep your username secret, after the conclusion of the invitation phases, while still remaining valid, the guarantee of identity, and the assumption of responsibility, which are mandatory, before, during, and after, all the invitation phases. In fact, when filling out the registration form, the person invited can use a different username from the one previously chosen, and the attribution of the unique identification number, in our system, is linked to the username, and to his personal email address (which always remains invisible), only at the end of the registration, and creation of his personal profile, therefore, it is possible to keep your identity hidden from the person who invites you, who guarantees your identity, and who assumes all responsibility for your behavior. It is a personal decision, free, and authorized by our rules, even if, we consider it, a choice not very correct, and in bad taste, towards the person who invites you.
Let's get some very important things straight right away.
Never confuse, for any reason, the public image of your personal profile (which is not mandatory, you can leave the default one), with this image file, which must be uploaded, only and exclusively, in our forms that require it, and only and exclusively, in our websites, which are part of our platform. This file, is visible only to you, from our computer system (which is not human), and will be visible, and only in some specific cases decided by you, only to one other person, human, the person, who will invite you to our system, all the other phases, are automatic.
But how do you correctly create an image file, with your face, next to your ID?
The first thing to do is create an image file, from a selfie, with your face, with a clearly visible neighbor, your identity document with a photo, we only accept valid documents, such as an identity card or a passport, with the photo in the document clearly visible, or, for minors under 18, and only for minors, who do not have either document, we accept, a birth certificate, with the authorization of both parents attached, or, as the case may be, of both legal guardians.
According to our specific and detailed rules for identity documents, and according to our specific and detailed rules, for the registration of minors under 18 years of age, according to very detailed rules, which are presented, in this information article, at this link:
https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/activity-rules/under-18-rules/under-18-specific-rules
Our instructions are simple.
The image must be created with a self-portrait, a selfie, and composed of a single file, therefore, a single photograph, in which both the person's face and the face, and personal data, of the identity document are clearly visible. Therefore, files with overlapping images, photo retouching, or images generated by Artificial Intelligence are not permitted.
The resolution of the image file must allow, when enlarged, to distinguish the image on the identity document, and all the personal data written in the document.
The lighting must be optimal, and allow a check of all the data present in the identity document, near the face.
The identity document must be valid and belong to the person whose face is shown.
Generally, this file is requested only once, and only in some forms, and only on our official website. To register, on other websites, of our platform, and to do other activities, together with us, you simply have to be a registered user, with a verified and guaranteed identity, on our official website, dedicated to our political organization.
If you are not active, and in good standing, on our official website, you will be automatically blocked, and subsequently deleted, also from all other websites, in our system, which are all with the termination: directdemocracys.org.
