Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction and Purpose

WATTENNE INTERNATIONAL LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a US-based entity organized under the laws of Wyoming. While we are committed to user privacy and data minimization, we are equally committed to preventing our services, including our proxy networks and API infrastructure, from being used for illicit purposes such as identity theft, financial fraud, money laundering, or sanctions evasion.

This KYC Policy outlines our "Risk-Based Approach" to identity verification. Unlike traditional financial institutions, we do not require identity verification for every user. Instead, we employ a tiered system that triggers verification requests only when necessary based on transaction volume, payment method risk, or behavioral patterns.

2. Tiered Verification Levels

We categorize users into tiers based on the risk profile associated with their payment method and usage volume.

2.1. Standard Users (Unverified)

By default, users may register and purchase services without submitting identity documents, provided they remain below specific risk thresholds.

  • Eligibility: Users paying via cryptocurrency or standard volume credit card transactions.

  • Requirements: Valid email address and successful payment authorization.

  • Limitations: May be subject to daily/monthly spending limits or bandwidth caps to mitigate risk.

2.2. Verified Users

KYC verification becomes mandatory for users who wish to access higher operational limits or who trigger our risk thresholds.

  • Triggers: High-volume purchasing, requests for higher concurrent connection limits, or specific enterprise/reseller agreements.

3. The "Right to Demand" (Mandatory Triggers)

To ensure the security of our network and compliance with US law, we reserve the right to trigger a mandatory KYC check on ANY user at any time, regardless of payment method (including Cryptocurrency).

We may suspend services and demand identity verification if our automated systems or compliance team detect:

  • High-Risk Traffic: Traffic targeting financial institutions, government portals, or known carding/fraud endpoints.

  • Abnormal Usage: Bandwidth consumption or concurrency levels inconsistent with the purchased plan or typical human behavior.

  • Geographic Risk: Connections originating from or routing to high-risk jurisdictions as defined by the FATF or internal risk assessments.

  • Payment Irregularities: Multiple failed payment attempts, mismatched billing details (AVS errors), or use of prepaid/virtual cards often associated with fraud.

Failure to complete a required review within the stated timeframe may result in continued suspension or termination. Any treatment of a remaining balance is subject to the Terms, Refund Policy, sanctions restrictions, and applicable law.

4. Verification Procedures and Third-Party Reliance

4.1. Information Collected

When KYC is triggered, we may request the following:

  • Full Legal Name.

  • Date of Birth.

  • Physical Residential Address (PO Boxes are not accepted).

  • Government-issued Photo ID (Passport, Driver’s License, or National ID).

  • Live "Selfie" or biometric check to verify liveness and document ownership.

4.2. Trusted Third-Party Provider (Persona Identities, Inc.)

We partner with Persona Identities, Inc. (or similar industry-leading identity verification vendors) to process document verifications.

  • Data Security: WATTENNE INTERNATIONAL LLC does not store your raw ID files (e.g., images of your passport) on our own servers. These documents are processed securely by our third-party provider via API.

  • Privacy: Databay states that it retains verification status and audit metadata. The identity provider may process or retain documents under its own terms and Databay's agreement with it. The public policy does not state the provider name, exact fields, countries, or retention periods; request those details before submitting documents if they are material to you.

5. Sanctions and OFAC Compliance

As a United States company, WATTENNE INTERNATIONAL LLC intends to comply with applicable economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Current programs, general licenses, and legal obligations can change; this policy is not a complete sanctions determination.

5.1. Prohibited Jurisdictions

We do not service users located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of countries or regions subject to comprehensive US sanctions. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Iran

  • North Korea (DPRK)

  • Cuba

  • Syria

  • Russia and Belarus

  • The Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine

5.2. Specially Designated Nationals (SDN)

We screen users against the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). Any account identified as being owned or controlled by an individual or entity on the SDN list will be immediately terminated, and funds may be frozen or blocked as required by US law.

6. Integration with Terms of Use

This KYC Policy is incorporated by reference into the WATTENNE INTERNATIONAL LLC Terms of Use.

  • Data Handling: All personal data collected during the verification process is handled in strict accordance with our Privacy Policy.

  • Enforcement: Providing false, manipulated, or stolen documents is a material breach of our Terms of Use. Such actions will result in a permanent ban and may be reported to relevant law enforcement agencies.
