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.



You should have reported the incident and written a review of Bittrex. New users should know as much as possible about exchanges. Both positive and negative sides. This will allow you to have objective information. Your experience will help to avoid unpleasant surprises with Bittrex. I recommend leaving a review here - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bittrex.com  and https://revain.org/exchanges/bittrex
