KYC (know your customer) is the process of identifying personal data, when the client (a private individual) is required to provide some personal data that will confirm their identity. Increasingly, companies that launch ICOs ask their clients who participate in the token sale to go through id verification
Only here is the question: is the signatory campaign participant who does not invest in the ICO project, his client and should he pass a KYC check and provide his personal data with copies of his documents in order to advertise the implementation of this ICO project? After all, the conduct of such a check was conceived in order to avoid the laundering of dirty money. The requirement to provide their personal data with copies of their documents violates the norms that exist in almost every state, the protection of personal data. If someone requires these data from me in violation of my national laws, they should at least indicate a specific legal and regulatory document that obliges them or grants them the right of such a claim. None of the rules for joining the ICO campaign, where there is a mention of the possibility of conducting a KYC check, do not indicate how they are making such a claim. And why then do we have to do this? And maybe they collect our personal data, then sell them? We do not know to whom we are passing these data. Photographs as members of the team can be inserted any and there are already many examples of this. I am categorically against the provision of my identity to someone who does not act as an official person and does not have the appropriate authority.
