Backmi Trust Center

Trust should be inspectable.

Backmi is built around verified work evidence and worker-controlled access. This page explains what we check, what we store, who can see it, and what happens when something is wrong.

This is what Backmi looks like on a real phone.

These are captures from the current iPhone TestFlight build using a seeded test profile. They are product screens, not marketing mockups.

Verification

The score never stands alone.

Each area keeps its own status, source and points so a hirer can see what actually moved the score.

Core model

The worker controls access. The evidence stays visible.

Identity is verified, not self-declared

A Ghana Card biometric check links the profile to the worker. Backmi keeps the result of the check, not a photo of the Ghana Card.

Profiles are closed by default

A household opens a profile through the worker's QR or time-limited PIN. A business requests access and waits for the candidate to approve or decline.

Sources remain visible

Badges and reports show where evidence came from: identity provider, past employers, issuing institutions or Backmi-recorded work.

Identity verification

Workers see what happens before they verify.

Inside the app

Workers see what happens before they verify.

The current TestFlight flow explains the Ghana Card face match, the NIA source and what Backmi keeps before the worker starts verification.

What Backmi stores

Enough to verify the work. Not everything about the person.

Backmi may keep

Verification results and work evidence

  • Profile identity and the result of a Ghana Card match
  • Confirmed employment periods and referee answers
  • Backmi job history and ratings
  • Verification status for submitted certificates or police clearance
  • Consent, profile-access and report audit events
Backmi does not need

A public dossier about your life

  • A public worker directory people can browse
  • Popularity, social-media activity or social connections for scoring
  • A Ghana Card image stored as part of the worker profile
  • Referee phone numbers exposed to hirers
  • Access to a business report before candidate consent
Access

Different hirers get access in different ways.

Households

The worker shares a QR code or six-digit PIN. The PIN expires automatically, and the household does not need a Backmi account.

Businesses

A company sends a check request describing what it wants to access. The candidate sees the request and approves or declines before a report is created.

Referees

Past employers answer through a direct link. Their identity and contact details are protected from the person reading the worker profile.

Fraud prevention

A reference only helps when it can be trusted.

Own-number checks

Backmi rejects or discounts patterns where a worker appears to be acting as their own referee.

Reciprocal and reused references

Suspicious patterns such as workers vouching for each other or one referee number being heavily reused can be flagged or excluded.

Verified referees weigh more

A referee whose own identity is verified can carry stronger evidential weight than a phone-only confirmation.

Platform work is separate

Backmi job-history evidence comes from work recorded on the platform and rated by the person who hired the worker.

Pending stays pending

An unresolved check is shown as pending rather than silently treated as confirmed. Pending documents contribute only partially until resolved.

Every score change is traceable

The trust score is derived from verification events. The visible badges and sources explain what contributed to it.

Corrections and disputes

A verification system must allow things to be challenged.

1

Raise the issue

A worker can challenge incorrect employment information, ratings or another verification item.

2

Mark it while checked

Disputed information is not treated as ordinary confirmed evidence while it is being reviewed.

3

Re-check the source

Backmi can go back to the recorded source, event or supporting evidence before updating the profile.

Business reports

Consent creates a snapshot, not permanent access.

A completed business check is a frozen view of the evidence available for the requested package when the candidate agreed. Backmi's current business workflow keeps reports for 90 days.

Questions

Trust and privacy questions.

Can someone search for a worker on Backmi?

No. Worker profiles are not a public directory. Access comes from worker sharing or candidate-approved business checks.

Does Backmi store a picture of the Ghana Card?

The product is designed to keep the result of the identity match rather than a Ghana Card image as part of the worker profile.

Is the trust score a social score?

No. It is derived from work-related verification events such as identity, references, platform job history and supported checks. Popularity, browsing behaviour and social-media activity are not part of it.

Can a business see a report before the candidate agrees?

No. The business request remains pending until the candidate approves the requested access.

What if information is wrong?

The worker can dispute an item so it can be reviewed and re-checked rather than remaining unquestioned on the profile.

Trust is stronger when you can see how it was built.
