Safety and verification at Opieko

Here's exactly what Opieko checks before a caregiver profile goes live, how we protect your contact details before payment, and where to raise a complaint.

Credential verification

When registering, every caregiver selects their profession and submits the matching documents — such as a professional licence number, diploma, or an RPWDL registry entry — drawn from Opieko's catalog of accepted document types. Before a profile becomes visible to organizers, the Opieko team reviews these documents and qualifications. This is an administrative review: it confirms the documents were submitted and match the declared profession — it is not licensing, insurance verification, or any other form of professional oversight.

Identity verification and AML

To accept payments, every caregiver completes identity verification (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) checks run by Tpay — a licensed payment operator supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). ID scans and bank account details go straight to Tpay — Opieko never sees or stores them.

Chat and the gradual reveal of contact details

Chat with a caregiver opens right away once you send a request, but until the booking is confirmed and paid, messages pass through a filter that hides phone numbers, email addresses and the exact address. That lets you work out the details of the visit before either side sees the other's contact information.

  1. Request: chat opens right away, and the filter hides contact details.
  2. Caregiver confirmation: the organizer learns the caregiver's full surname.
  3. Payment: only payment unlocks the phone number and the exact visit address.

Data protection and GDPR

We collect only the data needed to arrange and bill a visit, in line with GDPR. You can review the details at any time, or ask us to delete your account and its associated data.

Complaints and disputes

Report a complaint about a completed service directly to the caregiver, or use the dispute function available on a paid booking. Full rules, including complaints about the platform itself, are in the Terms of Service.

What Opieko is not

Opieko is not an employer of caregivers — each one is an independent provider who sets their own scope and price. Opieko does not provide medical or care services and is not a party to the service contract between organizer and caregiver — we are the technology platform that connects them and handles payment.
