1. Introduction and Policy Statement

This Anti-Money Laundering Policy ("Policy") governs the use of the proxy services, data packages, and platform (collectively, the "Services") provided by WATTENNE INTERNATIONAL LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company ("Databay," "we," "us," or "our"), accessible via databay.com and app.databay.com.

Databay is a technical-infrastructure provider, not a bank, money transmitter, or financial institution by virtue of this service description. We maintain risk-based fraud, payment, sanctions, and customer-due-diligence controls intended to prevent misuse and to meet legal or payment-partner requirements that apply to us. This policy does not claim that Databay is a BSA-regulated financial institution or that its voluntary controls are certified as equivalent to a regulated AML program.

By creating an account, purchasing data (GB/TB), or using our Services, you ("Customer" or "you") agree to comply with this Policy.

2. Objective and Scope

The objective of this Policy is to prohibit and actively prevent the use of Databay’s Services for:

  • Money Laundering: The process of making illegally-gained proceeds appear legal.

  • Terrorist Financing: Providing funds or financial support to non-state actors.

  • Sanctions Evasion: Attempting to bypass international sanctions regimes (e.g., OFAC).

  • Fraudulent Purchasing: Using stolen credit cards, compromised accounts, or illicitly obtained cryptocurrency.

3. Risk-Based Approach

Databay operates a global proxy network carrying an inherent risk of misuse for concealing identity. To mitigate this, Databay adopts a Risk-Based Approach (RBA).

We apply stronger due diligence measures to higher-risk accounts (e.g., high-volume purchasing, cryptocurrency payments, or connections from high-risk jurisdictions) and reserve the right to request additional verification ("Enhanced Due Diligence") from any Customer at any time.

4. Sanctions Compliance (OFAC)

As a US entity, Databay intends to comply with applicable sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and restrictions imposed by its payment providers. Sanctions programs and licenses change; this public policy is not a definitive sanctions list or legal opinion.

We strictly prohibit the use of our Services by, and do not process payments from:

  • Sanctioned Jurisdictions: Individuals or entities located in Russia, Belarus, Myanmar (Burma), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

  • Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs): Individuals or entities listed on OFAC’s Blocked Persons List.

We may use automated systems to screen user details and IP addresses against international sanctions lists.

5. Source of Funds and Payments

5.1. Legitimate Funds: You represent that all funds used to purchase data packages are derived from legitimate sources and are not the proceeds of illegal activities, including fraud, drug trafficking, or theft.

5.2. Payment Methods: Databay accepts payments via fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

5.3. Cryptocurrency Risks: If you pay via cryptocurrency, you acknowledge that Databay and/or its payment processors may screen transactions using blockchain-analytics tools. We reserve the right to reject transactions from "mixer" services, darknet markets, or sanctioned wallets. We may delay crediting data to your account until the transaction has achieved the required confirmations.

In addition to our Acceptable Use Policy, the following financial activities are strictly prohibited:

  • Structuring (Smurfing): Breaking down large transactions into smaller amounts to avoid triggers.

  • Money Muling: Allowing a third party to access your account to process payments on their behalf.

  • Stolen Credentials: Using payment methods that do not belong to you without authorization.

  • Refunding Fraud: Purchasing services with the intent to dispute the transaction (chargeback) after using the Services.

7. Monitoring and Detection

Databay employs monitoring mechanisms to detect suspicious activity. We monitor transactional patterns, such as velocity (frequency of top-ups), inconsistency (IP vs. billing address conflicts), and unusual volume purchases disproportionate to historical behavior.

8. Consequences of Policy Violation

If Databay suspects a violation of this Policy, we reserve the right to take the following actions immediately and without prior notice:

  • Account Suspension: Temporary or permanent freezing of the account.

  • Restriction of Data Balances: Access to data balances may be suspended, blocked, withheld, or voided to the extent permitted or required by applicable law and the Terms. Refund treatment remains subject to applicable law and the Refund Policy.

  • Enhanced KYC Demand: Requirement to submit government-issued ID before restoring access.

  • Reporting: Reporting suspected criminal activity to appropriate law-enforcement authorities and to our payment processors.

9. Liability and Indemnification

Liability and indemnification in connection with actions taken under this Policy are governed by Sections 14 and 15 of the Terms of Use.

10. Policy Updates

Databay may update this AML Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by email at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect, and we will update the "Updated" date shown on this page. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
