Hi everyone!
Regarding KYC:
1. We are within the United States, and as such, subject to US Laws. That means we are working to comply with OFAC regulations and sanctions. In doing this, we've contracted with a third party, trusted KYC provider, Onfido.
https://www.treasury.gov/about/organizational-structure/offices/Pages/Office-of-Foreign-Assets-Control.aspx
Onfido has been around for ~6 years, and handles KYC for companies like Square payments even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onfido
2. ShipChain does not retain your information. Onfido processes it and we work through it to make sure all compliance needs are met.
3. If you are receiving the emails from Onfido, but do not wish to participate, there is a link in the email that says "I no longer need my identity verified" - This will immediately stop all future emails, and remove you from our verification list. If you don't wish to participate in the airdrop, the same applies.
We are working hard to make sure this is done as above board, and compliant as possible, and appreciate the patience. If you have any questions, our team is always available in our Telegram group as well:
