Engaging traditional KYC providers usually means that you have access to the personal data of your users. This creates a burden of securely storing the data and complying with data protection regulations, but most importantly, it’s a huge red flag for crypto users, who tend to value their privacy very highly.
With Albus, user data stays private at all times. Albus uses encryption and Zero-Knowledge Proofs to prevent anyone but the user from accessing it, including your protocol and Albus itself.
At the same time, as required by AML regulations, Albus has a framework in place to make user data accessible to government authorities upon verified legitimate request.
