Privacy policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
The short version. We collect contact details, usage data and, for ID checks, identity details including document images. We use them to verify identities, support AML/KYC compliance, run and secure the service, and communicate with you. We share data only with the providers who help run our systems. We never sell your data. It is stored in Google Cloud (EU and Australia) with encryption and strict access controls. Verification images move to secure cold storage 45 days after a check and are permanently deleted at 12 months. You can access, correct or delete your data, and opt out of marketing, at any time.
