KYC Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-05-28

When KYC is triggered

KYC is required only when you request an Edict tier upgrade to access jurisdiction-restricted venues (e.g. equity perps). Tier 0 (unrestricted venues) does not require KYC. You are never forced to complete KYC; it is opt-in only.

What Sumsub collects

  • Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)
  • Selfie photograph for liveness verification
  • Biometric data derived from the selfie (facial geometry for matching)
  • Name, date of birth, nationality as extracted from the ID document

Sumsub's role

Sumsub acts as a data processor on behalf of Atrium. They process your KYC documents solely for identity verification purposes. Their privacy policy: sumsub.com/privacy-notice.

Retention

  • KYC documents are retained per Sumsub's data retention policy.
  • Atrium retains the verification result (pass/fail + tier level) for 5 years per AML record-keeping obligations.
  • The underlying documents (ID images, selfie) are stored by Sumsub, not by Atrium directly.

If verification fails

  • Your Edict tier remains at 0 (unrestricted venues only).
  • Restricted venues remain unavailable.
  • No penalty is applied; you may continue using tier-0 features normally.

Appeal mechanism

  • Re-submit via the KYC flow with corrected documents.
  • Request manual review by contacting privacy@useatrium.me.
  • Human escalation available: response within 30 days.
