Tracey Breeden, head of safety and social advocacy for Match Group, said: “For far too long, women and marginalised groups in all corners of the world have faced many barriers to resources and safety.
“We recognise corporations can play a key role in helping remove those barriers with technology and true collaboration rooted in action.
“In partnership with Match Group, Garbo’s thoughtful and groundbreaking consumer background check will enable and empower users with information, helping create equitable pathways to safer connections and online communities across tech.”
