- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): In certain circumstances, we are required to process personal data to comply with applicable legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering or record-keeping requirements.

International Data Transfers
Our website is operated from Switzerland. Switzerland has been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection for transfers of personal data from the EEA, pursuant to Article 45 GDPR. As a result, transfers of personal data from the EEA to Switzerland do not require additional safeguards.
We use Cloudflare for DNS management, content delivery, and email routing. Cloudflare is a US-based company; however, Cloudflare has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission in its data processing agreements, providing appropriate safeguards for any transfers of personal data to the United States or other third countries.
Where we transfer personal data to other third countries that do not benefit from an adequacy decision, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as SCCs, binding corporate rules, or other mechanisms recognised under applicable data protection law.
Children
Our website and services are not directed to, and are not intended for use by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18. If you believe that a child under 18 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@cryptolicenses.net and we will take steps to delete such data promptly.
The regulatory consulting and licensing advisory services described on this website are professional services intended exclusively for businesses and their authorised representatives.
