"Gorgeous" has consistently worked to realize safe and secure encounters, including the provision of a "Occupation/Income Verification" function. The acquisition of IMS certification officially proves these efforts by a third-party organization. "Gorgeous" will continue to further strengthen the development and provision of functions so that everyone seeking serious encounters can meet their ideal partners with peace of mind.

■ Background of IMS Certification Acquisition

As more people use matching apps as a way to meet partners for dating and marriage, creating an environment where users can meet with trust and peace of mind is becoming increasingly important.

Against this backdrop, "Gorgeous" has been working to create an environment where users can meet their ideal partners safely and securely, including by "visualizing reliability" through profile verification with the "Occupation/Income Verification" function.

These efforts have now been recognized, and we have obtained the "IMS Certification Mark," a mark of a proper matching app operator.

■ What is IMS Certification

This is a third-party certification system for internet matching services such as "konkatsu sites" and "konkatsu apps." It objectively evaluates whether a service can be used with peace of mind by consumers and grants a certification mark to businesses that meet the standards.
The certification process involves an examination based on the following five criteria:

1. Criteria for Proper Business Operations ① (Service Content)

2. Criteria for Proper Business Operations ② (Proper Contracts and Compliance with Laws and Regulations)

3. Criteria for Proper Business Operations ③ (Information Security Measures)

4. Criteria for Exclusion of Inappropriate Users

5. Criteria for Exclusion of Inappropriate Businesses

The awarding of the certification mark this time is due to "Gorgeous" being evaluated as a business operator that meets all these examination criteria.
