Documents and safety

[Gambino19]

Hey, got into the bitcoin gold rush, but i dont want to upload my personal info and documents to a website i dont trust. Fu*k the adress and name. Its about the id scan. Im on bittrex, can i paste a watermark somewhere on the id "only for bittrex"? Thanks in advance

Would adding a watermark "only for Bittrex" prevent your ID scan gets leaked when Bittrex gets hacked? I don't think so. That's the risk of giving your ID to another party. There is no other way, unfortunately. You either take the risk and give them your ID or just choose another exchange that doesn't require ID verification.

I mean that if someone sees that there is a watermark with "ofb" it wont be accepted anywhere else. The question is will this kind of watermark on a id go through their manual verification

Well they can just erase those watermarks with photoshop anyway so just like what the guy above have said, When you submit your personal documents to a third party, you are trusting your documents on them. Its really crap that bittrex didn't say any explanation on how they will store these documents.

I would avoid doing something that they didn't instructed as much as possible because it can cause you a delay on your verification or worst verification failure.

Lastly, if you have manipulated your document in anyway the verification may fail. Please make sure to submit very clear photos without any alterations.
