For such purposes Bitsten reserves the right to collect User’s identification information for the AML/KYC Policy purposes.

    Bitsten will take steps to confirm the authenticity of documents and information provided by the Users. All legal methods for double-checking identification information will be used and Bitsten reserves the right to investigate certain Users who have been determined to be risky or suspicious.

    Bitsten reserves the right to verify User’s identity in an on-going basis, especially when their identification information has been changed or their activity seemed to be suspicious (unusual for the particular User). In addition, Bitsten reserves the right to request up-to-date documents from the Users, even though they have passed identity verification in the past.

    User’s identification information will be collected, stored, shared and protected strictly in accordance with the Bitsten’s Privacy Policy and related regulations.

    Risk Assessment

    Bitsten, in line with the international requirements, has adopted a risk-based approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

This will allow resources to be allocated in the most efficient ways. The principle is that resources should be directed in accordance with priorities so that the greatest risks receive the highest attention.

Reasons for exclusion may include: The official team is disbanded or no longer supports the Coin (Token);

    The digital currency is weak (less than $ 1000 per day in continuous circulation based on 5 trading days) or the user does not make transactions and does not comply with the spread support conditions: the difference between the selling and buying prices of the Coin should not exceed 3% of the current price.

    If problems with blockchain transactions or other technical problems last more than 10 days and the Initiator did not fix them;

    If the Initiator did not fix the blockchain transaction problems or other technical problems after the third Bitsten request;

    If it is necessary to prevent and/or stop fraud, exchange manipulation, violation of securities or other laws/regulations, hacker attacks and/or if there are signs of fraud, violation of laws/regulations related to the listing/trading of coins (Token) is defined;

    After confirming the de-listing procedure, the Initiator's command will be immediately notified. Bitsten will inform the Initiator of the time frame, including stages such as stopping trading, financing and withdrawing funds.
