In the world of crypto and finance, the term KYC (Know Your Customer) often sounds intimidating. But honestly, it’s not as scary as it seems — especially with Guardarian. Here, we’ll explain what KYC is, why it’s necessary, and how we handle your data with the utmost care.
What Is KYC?
KYC, or Know Your Customer, is a process companies use to verify the identity of their users. It helps prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. For us, it’s about making sure it’s safe and trustworthy to work with you.
You might wonder, “Why do I have to provide personal information?” Truth is, we’d rather not collect or store your data at all — but regulations require us to do it. It’s a legal safeguard that protects both you and our company from working with bad actors.
How We Handle Your Information
At Guardarian, we do not store your information longer than necessary. If it were up to us, we’d keep zero data — but compliance means we need to verify identities to ensure security and legitimacy. Your privacy and security are top priorities, and we follow strict standards to protect your data.
When Do We Collect KYC?
- At Transaction Time: To complete a transaction (buy crypto, sell or swap), we need to verify your identity with some basic information to ensure security and confirm you’re a real person.
- When You Join Our Growth Program: ambassadors and referrals represent Guardarian publicly and help us grow, we ask for a bit more info here to keep everything transparent and secure.
Why KYC Is Important: A Real-Life Example
During our ambassador onboarding process for the Growth Program, we found a very promising candidate who was excited to represent Guardarian at a major crypto event. However, when performing KYC checks, we discovered this person had some legal issues.
Because it’s crucial for us to maintain a trustworthy and secure community, we could not approve them as an ambassador. This real case highlights why KYC is necessary — it protects both our company and our users by ensuring everyone involved has a clean record and aligns with our values of transparency and compliance.
What About Businesses? — Enter KYB
If you want to partner with us as a business, you will go through KYB (Know Your Business). This is similar to KYC but involves more documents to verify your company’s legitimacy. It sounds complicated, but if you have nothing to hide, it’s a straightforward process. KYB helps us build trustworthy partnerships and comply with regulations. Contact us here.
