"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," Tracey Breeden, Head of Safety and Social Advocacy for Match Group, said in a statement.

Garbo works closely with racial equity and gender justice groups.

As part of its active stance toward equity, Garbo excludes arrests related to drug possession and traffic violations, which have a disproportionate impact on marginalised groups.

Match Group said it will begin testing and building capabilities for Garbo on Tinder in the coming months. Once Garbo is adopted on Tinder later this year, other Match Group US brands will follow, the company said.
