So I've had a good read of their Terms and Conditions and their Privacy Policy, and I've found a few interesting snippets. All emphasis is my own.
https://crypto-bridge.org/terms-and-conditions/https://archive.fo/qFpM6https://crypto-bridge.org/privacy-policy/https://archive.fo/sKJOu5.6 The Company collects as little personal data as possible and attaches great importance to its protection.
No particular importance for this quote, just funny/shady that they should say it when it's obviously not true.. Same as claiming to be "decentralized" when they are obviously not.
5.7 The Company is entitled to block Services through the Gateway at its own discretion and without notice particularly if you have given false information, violate these Terms of Use or demonstrate other abusive behavior. If your Account is blocked, you can contact the Company via our support help-desk to resolve the matter. You will not be able to use the Services during a suspension. If the block is not lifted and your Account is blocked permanently, you will receive a refund of BRIDGE-IOUs already in your possession, but you will not be able to enter into any future deposits or withdrawals via the Gateway.
This whole quote doesn't apply, since you haven't violated their terms, but the part about receiving a refund of Bridge IOUs is interesting. Can anyone who uses this exchange shed some light on what Bridge IOUs are? Is this essentially a refund or everything they are holding on your behalf, or something else entirely?
9.2 All Users accessing our Websites from IP addresses within the United States of America or listing the United States of America as place of residence (the 'Selected Users') or nationality are subject to a user identity verification process (the 'User Identity Verification Process').
Interesting that their Terms and Conditions have not yet been updated to reflect the new KYC rules for users outside the US.
20.3 The Company strives to continuously improve and extend their Services. Thus, the Company reserves the right to adapt these Terms of Use accordingly. The updated version of the Terms of Use as published on the Websites and made known to you via the CB Wallet will automatically become part of this agreement if you do not object to the changes within four weeks.
You have four weeks to object, by their own Terms and Conditions.
The process is carried out for US residents due to requirements pertaining from U. S. anti-money laundering regulations. For other residents, the process is presently voluntary, unless we find it necessary to obtain this information from you for security and verification purposes in the course of providing our services to you.
As above, still out of date regarding KYC and users outside the US.
We reserve the right to amend our Privacy Policy in order to adapt it to changes in the law or changes to the service and data processing. However, this applies solely with regard to declarations on data processing. If your consent is required or if parts of Privacy Policy contain regulations of the contractual relationship with you, changes will only be made with your consent.
These changes quite clearly affect your "contractual relationship", and no consent was sought.
Looking at this, it seems pretty clear that they are in breach of their own legal requirements.
