We comply with all applicable laws aimed at combating illicit activities, including money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as rely on national and international best practices in order to effectively identify, assess and manage the risks of any illegal activities to which we may be exposed. -
Customer Due Diligence
We follow our internal procedures to identify and verify our customers before a business relationship is established. We will require your personal information for customer due diligence purposes to the extent we deem necessary. This may include a copy of your ID document, a proof of address, etc. We may obtain this information directly from you or, where applicable, from a reliable and independent source such as a public database. More information on how we handle your personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy which you can find on the Site. The extent of customer due diligence measures may vary depending on the SpectroCoin company providing the Services to you as well as your overall risk-profile. We may decide at our sole discretion which customers we consider high risk and what our risk appetite towards such customers is. We may decide to conduct Enhanced Customer Due Diligence which comprises, among other, obtaining additional information such as information about the source of funds and wealth. -
Monitoring and Ongoing Customer Due Diligence
We undertake continuous monitoring of your transactions and overall behaviour while using our Services. We also put the best efforts to ensure that your information is up to date, so we may request to occasionally update your personal data during the course of our business relationship.
