The internet can be a very unsafe place. Currently any personal information that you place on your profile page on social networking or community sites can be viewed by any other person with an account. This situation gives us full exposure to the world, but it also makes all of us more vulnerable to attack by criminals seeking to steal our identities or create a profile that is misleading and less than truthful.

SinglesMontreal.com is aware that, while being the standard for similar sites, the conventional way of publishing personal details does not constitute best privacy practice nor does it protect members. We also know that some people do not enter their personal information because they are concerned at loss of control over it.
We know that honest people don't want to lie in their social networking profiles. However, by providing 100% accurate data about who you are, the place you live, the things you enjoy, the institutions at which you were educated, the friendships you've made and the companies for which you've worked, you release information that can be useful to less honest people looking to use your identity or to engage in cyber stalking.

SinglesMontreal.com understands the current nature of internet use and realizes the need that is felt by a large sector of society to interact with people in cyberspace, eliminating borders and expanding a whole new form of communication with people all over the world. However, with this understanding comes the recognition of the very real threats and dangers that are associated with the participation of users on various forms of social networking and “matchmaking” websites.

Identity fraud, or false identification, is the most commonly committed offense on the internet today, with ramifications to the victim ranging from improper impersonation in chat rooms and message boards to the loss of funds and the deterioration of a solid credit history. This is a very serious problem…so serious, in fact, that many users of the internet are rightly exercising extreme caution when deciding whether or not to “log on” to such websites, and are becoming increasingly hesitant to provide any personal information pertaining to membership sign-up.

In an effort to combat this increasingly heinous form of crime, SinglesMontreal.com has developed the world’s most innovative and groundbreaking technology (biometric fingerprint identification). The technology, although not yet utilized to its fullest, has quickly become the most important tool, and the only meaningful and applicable way, to address this very real threat to users of the internet and social networking websites. In short, a very simple verification process is completed upon membership to a website which features the fingerprint identification technology, therefore making it impossible for any other user of the website to “log on” without providing a fingerprint swipe, further making it impossible to impersonate any other user.
