Interview with Zidelity

Skeptics of online dating often cite a fear of dishonestly as a main concern. How can you really trust someone you met online. Zidelity seeks to remedy those fears and create an honest?environment?for online daters. Zidelity is a way for online daters to confirm another user?s intentions and desires in seeking a?relationship. No longer do Zidelity users fear going on a date with someone who is married or taken. Online Dating Sites was lucky enough to get an interview with the president of Zidelity and talk about the service they provide for their members.

?

ODS: How what the concept of Zidelity? Was it originally intended specifically for online?daters?

Zidelity: Currently online dating websites do not provide any means for individuals who are?looking for exclusive relationship to make sure that the person with whom they are interacting?is really interested in a serious and exclusive relationship (i.e., they are not already in other?relationships). In addition, there is no way for people who are looking for serious relationships to?show their intentions and differentiate themselves from thousands who may not be seeking?the same in a relationship. As a result there can be mistrust among online daters, which is not?healthy.

Zidelity has been designed to help online daters establish trust during or even before, dating.?This is accomplished by users declaring their relationships on Zidelity. Once users declare their?relationships, they cannot change the information without their partner?s knowledge. Neither?can they hide the information about their current relationships or create a second account with?different relationship status. And all of these are achieved without compromising users? privacy.?Users? information cannot be viewed by even their friends. Readers can see an example of?how Zidelity can be used to establish trust while dating or in a relationship or build trust before?dating starts.

Although originally designed for online daters, singles who do not use dating websites or even?couples can use Zidelity to establish trust or strengthen it to enhance their relationships.

ODS:?Do you think even honest and trustworthy people have difficulty announcing their relationship?to their friends? If so, why do you think people find that difficult to announce?

Zidelity: While an honest person may have all good intentions, he/she may not feel comfortable?to announce a new relationship to everybody in his/her social circle from the get-go. This kind of?announcement is generally considered a milestone in a relationship.

People who use online dating may date many others before finding the right match. Even honest people who are not thinking about cheating may not feel comfortable to announce to their social circles that they are dating a new person only to stop dating him/her a month later! On the other?hand, postponing the declaration of the relationship may be interpreted as the lack of interest in?a serious and exclusive relationship. Because of this, there is a dilemma for online daters about?when to declare their relationship on Facebook or other social networks.

Zidelity solves this dilemma by allowing individuals declare their relationships to give peace of?mind to their partners that they are interested in an exclusive relationship without the additional?pressure associated with announcing their relationship to their social circles.

ODS: Is Zidelity?s intention to replace the inevitable discussion about the exclusivity of relationships?or to simply make the discussion easier?

Zidelity: A healthy relationship requires trust, which can be established if both parties are?truthful about their intentions. While people can talk about their intentions, Zidelity provides a?tool they can use to show that they are serious about those intentions.

ODS: Part of the service Zidelity provides is proof of identity. As the site points out, it is easy for?anyone to set up fake accounts on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. How do you?confirm user?s identities?

Zidelity: During the initial phase, users can quickly register and start using Zidelity. However,?when they interact with another user, the user will know that their identities have not been?verified yet. When a user decides to verify his/her identity, he/she provides his/her full legal?name, the date of birth and the home address, which are verified electronically by a third party?for accuracy. After making a credit card payment, a letter is sent to the provided address to?finalize the registration. These steps assure that each person can create only one account and?under his/her real name.

ODS: Have you ever had any issues confirming the identities of different people who have the?same name or with addresses that lead to P.O. Boxes?

Zidelity: Since we also ask for the user?s date of birth, we can verify the identities even when?two users have the same name. Regarding the second part of the question, we ask users to?provide their residence addresses.

ODS: Is there any way for members to display a button to their Zidelity account on dating sites or?social networking sites?

Zidelity: Not at the moment, but this is a feature we are going to add in the future to make it easier for?Zidelity users to show their membership to others, instead of them writing about their Zidelity?membership on their dating profiles.

ODS: Is there any other information other than the history of relationship status that Zidelity?provides?

Zidelity: No. From the beginning we made the conscious decision to make the website only a tool for?honest individuals to declare their relationships and use it to show their interest in an exclusive?relationship. Therefore, we only display the information users have provided about their?relationships. Zidelity has been designed such that if a user provides wrong information, his/her intentions will be apparent to others. It?s not possible for a person to use Zidelity to provide?contradictory information about his/her relationship to others. This prevents for example a?married person from linking his/her profile to his/her spouse?s profile and at the same time?creating another profile and claiming he/she is single on that profile.

ODS: What are your plans for the future of Zidelity?

Zidelity: We are raising the awareness among online daters so they can benefit from Zidelity when?searching for the right match. Our goal is to make it easier for people to start and maintain?relationships based on honesty.?In the future we are going to partner with dating websites to facilitate usage and access of this?important tool.

?

Thank you, Zidelity, for the great interview. With all the great things online dating can do, it?s comforting to know that the service is now safer to use. We at Online Dating Sites look forward to watching your service grow and expand.
