Trust
Trust starts at the source.
Every digital identity starts from an affiliation recognized by the responsible institution, with defined criteria and care for people's information.
01
Institutional recognition
The institution sets the criteria and authorizes the teams responsible for validation.
02
Privacy when presenting
Verification shows the information needed to confirm the credential.
03
Management and traceability
Records make it possible to follow the issuance and updates of each credential.
Recognition comes from those who are part of the story: the institution. Bridge is designed around LGPD and GDPR, with data separated per institution and role-based access.

Shall we build new connections for your community?
Tell us how your institution brings together and recognizes its members. Let's explore together how Bridge can support that relationship.
- Start with what makes sense. One unit, one class or one group of members.
- Side-by-side rollout. Setup is done together with your team.
- Your criteria, your brand. Name, colors and validity rules set by the institution.
Frequently asked questions
What institutions usually ask.
Who decides whether someone belongs to the institution?
Always the institution, through the teams it authorizes. UNACORD provides the technology and never recognizes affiliations on its own.
How does Bridge support relationships with alumni and former members?
A recognized affiliation gives these people a way back. The institution can invite them to initiatives such as mentoring, volunteering and gatherings, knowing every participant's journey has been confirmed.
How does validity work for each type of credential?
The institution sets the rules for each type of affiliation. A student credential, for example, may be valid until the end of the school year and then renewed. Alumni status is historical: the credential can be updated or reissued, but the person's journey remains.
What opportunities can the community offer?
Each institution chooses what to offer: mentoring, volunteering, collaboration between units, exchange of experiences, gatherings and its own initiatives.
Is the credential legally binding?
It is worth the authority of whoever issued it, under the applicable rules. Bridge proves the affiliation; it does not grant official accreditation or universal legal validity.
How is data protected?
Data is kept separate per institution, with role-based access and a record of decisions. Verification shows only what is needed to confirm the credential, and one institution does not see another's data.
Can it connect to the systems we already use?
During onboarding, we assess with your team how Bridge can connect to the academic or membership management systems you already use.
How do we get started?
With a demo. Then onboarding starts with one unit or group and is done together with your team. The timeline depends on the number of members and integrations, and is detailed in the plan we present.
