We are governed by laws and regulations that demand the collection, use, and retention of certain kinds of personal information in order to provide our core Services. Customers that use our Services must be identified and verified using bbAi in order to comply with applicable anti-money laundering rules, for example. This involves the gathering and storing of your picture identity documents, among other things. Aside from that, we verify your identification by cross-referencing the personal information you supply with third-party databases and public records. It is possible that we may request additional information from you if you wish to connect a bank account to your bbAi Wallet. To confirm your identity or address, and/or to manage risk in accordance with relevant legislation, we may combine this information with information from third-party service providers operating on our behalf. If you do not supply the requested personal information, we will be forced to terminate your account.

We will not be able to provide you with Services if we do not have this information in our possession. When providing identity verification and/or fraud prevention services, third-party service providers, such as identity verification services, may also have access to and/or collect your personal information, depending on the circumstances.
