Typical policies#
| Policy | Common at | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Mandatory KYC | Enterprise vendors, card-based checkouts | Documents before the first purchase |
| Threshold KYC | Mid-market providers | Documents once spending passes an amount or for static products |
| No KYC | Crypto-native providers | An email address opens the account; rules enforced on behaviour |
No KYC is not no rules#
A provider that does not verify identity still enforces its acceptable use policy: abuse reports are investigated, offending accounts are closed, and cooperation with authorities happens where the law requires. Privacy at sign-up and accountability for abuse are compatible.
How it works at ProxShift#
ProxShift asks for an email address and a password, nothing else: no identity documents, no phone number, no sales call. What it does enforce is the acceptable use policy, on every network.
