Important information.
Atomic Wallet shares values of a decentralized Internet and personal privacy is the basis of this philosophy. We do not need or want any information about the identities of the people using the Atomic Wallet to deliver our service. Even in the case of Help Center inquires, users are identified only by anonymous ID, which doesn’t consist of any personal data.
AML/KYC Policy covers the following matters:
- Verification procedures
- Identity verification
- Card verification
1. Verification procedures
One of the international standards for preventing illegal activity is customer due diligence (“CDD”). According to CDD, Atomic Wallet’s partners (https://www.simplex.com/ and https://changenow.io/, not Atomic Wallet itself) establishes verification procedures within the standards of anti-money laundering and “Know Your Customer” frameworks.
2. Identity verification
In rare cases, providers of Buy crypto and Exchange features (https://www.simplex.com/ and https://changenow.io/) can require the User to provide them with a reliable ID. Please note: Atomic Wallet itself didn’t collect any personal users’ data. To know more, check our Privacy Policy.
Atomic Wallet’s partners reserve the right to verify User’s identity during the Buy Crypto or Exchange processes, according to their policies: https://www.simplex.com/terms-of-use/, https://changenow.io/faq/kyc-aml-procedure.
3. Card verification
Users who are intended to use payment cards to buy cryptocurrencies have to pass card verification in accordance with instructions available on the Guide. We guarantee that we didn’t collect or store this data. Therefore it can’t be sold or shared with any kind of third party.
