Verification on Polywork is simply a verification of identity- in simple words, making sure that who you are on Polywork is really you in real life.
As part of the verification process, Polywork utilizes Passbase as a third-party vendor that provides KYC-level verification services, including the encryption and storage of the data necessary to verify your identity. More information can be found here (there's also a link on the page for their full privacy policy).
