Verifying your identity
As a registered financial institution, we are obliged to know who our customers are in accordance with European law. To do this, we ask our customers to verify their identity by providing their ID, passport or driving license.
Storing of personal information
We collect, process and store the personal data for the following purposes:
- To maintain identity verification standards in accordance with legislation

You can find more information on the above personal information collection here under “Privacy Policy”.
We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
When your information is transferred over the internet, SSL encryption is used to ensure your sensitive data is not accessible to anyone on the internet. The data that is communicated back and forth between Coinify and your computer is encrypted with a 256-bit SSL certificate.

Deletion of personal information in accordance with GDPR
As a Coinify customer, you can choose to terminate your account upon request.
Coinify cannot delete your account upon request, but rather disables it for a period of 5 years, until it can be deleted. Under the law on accounting § 10 and § 30 in the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act (“Hvidvaskloven”), Coinify is obligated to keep all accounting material for 5 years from the end of the financial year to which the material relates. Accounting material is defined as registrations, including transaction tracks, attachments and other documentation, other information necessary for control trails, etc., cf. § 3 of the law on accounting. If your account has been inactive for the past 5 years, it will be automatically disabled and deleted.
