Hey Guys,

As KYC is now going to be widely used in ICO's all over the palce and requireming them to all have a copy of some sort of proof of identity.
Currently nowhere I can find a retention period on how long they are allowed to maintain the documents. Further, I have not found regulatory policies on what is allowed to be done with them.

As stated in an ICO they are intending to use the data, for example,to improve their website.
To what extend is the use, of the data provided, limited or are there clear privacy rules on this?

The reason for asking is that this is now a global issue, in specific countries it is clear what the legal privacy policies are.
Can I assume the policies on privicy will be applied as maintained in the country from where the ICO innitiative is started?
In that case, (extreme example and not knowing the official legal policy) I will never invest in an ICO started by a Nigerian prince!
