# KYC Process

### What is KYC?

The KYC (Know Your Customer) process is an essential security measure we implement to ensure that assets are redeemed securely and accurately. By verifying your identity, we can confirm that the assets are being sent to the rightful owner, which helps prevent any unauthorized transactions or potential fraud.

### How do you handle KYC?

We use [Persona](https://withpersona.com/) to handle KYC. Persona is a GDPR-compliant identity verification vendor. We do not store your verification data.

### Why is KYC required?

KYC helps us ensure a fair and safe marketplace and prevent fraud and abuse.<br>
