I have had  the legacy account for years.
Bittrex locked me up about a week ago, so I made a successful ID verification, but I refused to make an extended KYC verification. They want a photo of my face along with the ID, but I disagree with it.
My argument is that they don't have my permission to own and keep my photo. From my point of view, it is a great risk to give them such a picture.

I wanted to terminate account, but they always reply with asking for that photo.


So today they asking for our face photo with ID, and next time they will want maybe our DNA or other biometric identification. Who knows.
I don't understand how they can rob people in this way.



I think that this scenario was too exaggerating for all trader who've been doing trading fairly. This turned out inhumane as they hold the rules strictly, people got pressured for this matter of KYC which tend to possibly breached some of the personal information coming from every user. Being anonymous was no longer a practice now, and being with decentralized currency I don't really appreciate this kind of thing. Maybe for suggestions, there must be conditions to follow in order to be fair for each and every customers.
