Trust and safety
A benchmark is only useful if people can trust it. This is how we keep Bridge Connector honest for creators and brands.
How creators are verified
Creators connect each channel by signing in on the platform's own page: Google for YouTube, Twitch for Twitch and Kick for Kick. We never see or store anyone's password.
We ask only for read-only access. We read channel stats once at the moment of connection, then discard the access the platform gave us. We don't keep platform login tokens in our database.
A channel can belong to only one Bridge Connector account.
How ranks work
Creators are ranked against others of a similar size, so a rising creator can reach the top of their board. The size tiers are Nano (under 10K), Micro (10K to 100K), Mid (100K to 1M) and Mega (over 1M).
Each rank blends three things measured from verified data: engagement compared with creators the same size, growth over the last month, and audience size. Ranks are recalculated every day.
Paying us, inviting friends or using any feature never changes a rank.
The authenticity score
Each creator has an authenticity score from 1 to 100 that only verified brands can see. It checks verified data for the signs of bought audiences: engagement far below creators the same size, very few views for the number of followers, and sudden follower jumps without matching engagement.
Creators can't see or edit their score, which keeps it useful to the brands that rely on it.
Badges
Badges are earned only from verified data and published rules. Every badge has a unique ID, and anyone can check it on our Verify a badge page.
Badges can be withdrawn if the data behind them stops being true or a creator breaks our terms.
Verified brands
Before a brand can see authenticity scores, send offers or message creators, we review the business: its company name, website and an email at the company's own domain.
Creators only hear from brands through offers, and every conversation stays attached to a specific offer.
Reporting a problem
If you see a fake profile, a suspicious badge or a brand behaving badly, tell us from the Contact page and we'll look into it.
