This obligation rests on the basis of which data processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (see above in the article). SATOS also relies on the ‘agreement on execution’ rule. This rule means that at the very moment you place an order with us and agree to the general terms and conditions, an agreement will occur between you and

SATOS, where the processing of your personal data is necessary for the execution of this agreement that you have agreed with SATOS.

Legislation

To date, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have been classified as a product with a very high risk profile. The Wwft (Law on the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism) states that; on the basis of the legal requirements in the field of ethical business conduct, the committing of criminal offenses such as money laundering and / or other violations must be adequately prevented by companies and his or her employees as well as relationships with clients who trust in the financial undertaking or in the financial markets.

In addition, SATOS conforms to the Wwft. Article 33 of the Wwft stipulates that an institution must retain data relating to the customer due diligence for at least five years after the termination of the business relationship or after the latest transaction has been executed. This includes identification papers, interview notes, risk assessments, etc. The purpose of this retention obligation is to provide (supervisory) authorities with insight into the client’s activities. An institution must properly record (unusual) transaction data, store it and keep it for five years so that the transaction can be reconstructed.

Privacy and Cryptocurrency

Most digital currency transactions are publicly transparent and are stored in a blockchain (public ledger). As a result, transactions can also be followed. The digital currency you buy from us can sometimes in theory be traced back to SATOS. However, the identity of the owner cannot be determined directly. Furthermore, the current banking system is not anonymous. Online purchase or sales are therefore generally easy to trace. If you choose to buy or sell cryptocurrency in cash, this will bring more privacy however, SATOS does not offer this service. It is also good for you to ensure that you keep all correspondence with SATOS, for example; email. Make sure to save all correspondence safely. If hackers send messages to you through certain hyperlinks in any email sent to you which might cause to give them access to SATOS her systems, SATOS and all possible consequences cannot be held accountable for any of the implications that may arise from such a breach. In these situations SATOS shall enforce these implications upon you. The latter is the reason why it is of such high significance that you deal with the same care regarding to the data that has been and will be exchanged between SATOS and you.

Applicable law

The Dutch law applies to this privacy policy. The court of the administrators business location has exclusive jurisdiction in the event of any disputes regarding this policy.
