Users may need to set their full name to their user profile before buying bitcoins online from some traders. The full name is only shown to bitcoin sellers with whom the user has opened trading. Verifying the full name helps protecting users against fraudulent payments, increase user’s trustworthiness, and provides an alternative way to access user’s CryptoCurrency10 wallet in case the password is lost or the account is hacked. The phone number is used for notification purposes and as an alternative mechanism for identifying users in case the password is lost or the account gets hacked into.

Moreover, by requiring all advertisers to verify ID will help us to provide a more trustworthy, safe and reliable trading experience for our customers. ID creates a strong assumption about the ownership of the account and thus ensures that we can return access to your account in case your account is hacked.

Other personal information such as bank references, professional references and family information may be required for specific services. This information will not be disclosed to third parties, unless we receive a Court order.
KYC controls include the following:
• Collection and analysis of basic identity information such as Identity documents (referred to in US regulations and practice as a "Customer Identification Program" or CIP);

• Determination of the customers risk in terms of propensity to commit money laundering, terrorist finance, or identity theft;
