Kyc is not something that is permanent ! And also it’s optional for only people who whose to benefit from the achievement in the later future , it might be mandated as part of laws !

It is really difficult to say our data are safe with all these projects, if it is possible then we need to cut off such projects that require kyc, it is possible our data could be sold, also from the name KYC, it is not meant for hunters but the reverse is the case.

Day in day out there are new projects requiring kyc from investors
Exchanges requiring kyc, for some in order to maximize your ability to withraw large sums of cryptocurrencies and some even before you can trade on the exchange
The bigger question is how safe are our kyc documents?
I think companies and projects are looking to gather as much information from investors or bounty hunters. to easily control the amount of people using their money. or some other reason. But there has never been a case involving a KYC leak. It proves that your password is very secure, so don't worry about it

That's the more reason crypto investors should should be careful with where to input their personal data for kyc because most of these mushroom exchanges and airdrops/bounties are just kyc farmers for the dark Web or some sinister goal

Kyc came as goverent regulation for projects to ensure they're operating under the government rules and not allow bandit and those under government watch not to participate in the ICOs or exchange trading. For instance if USA government says its citizens shouldn't trade token pairs on exchange if an exchange does it, they can be sanctioned for it. Kyc is necessary to ensure everyone is government  compliant.
The main problem of the crypto community is the lack of laws guaranteeing 100% security of personal data. That is why I try to avoid projects with the requirement of KYC.Now, many exchanges have begun to demand to pass KYC in hindsight, even those where I have a long-standing account.

I made it a rule not to send anyone my documents with KYC. This is due to the fact that exchanges are not responsible if my documents are stolen,

They are responsible if they are regulated, you can sue them if they will intentionally leak your information, I can guarantee you that.

and I do not understand why they need my documents, where they send them in the future and how they are used. I am sure that no documents are needed for trade.

They need it because they are required by the government or the regulators to impose that requirements to their client.
If they will not follow that, the regulators will cancel their license to operate or worst also penalize them, so it's the basic requirement for them to follow also.

For me, it depends on the information that they are going to ask. As long as it's not going to have any information about my bank accounts or where I live exactly, I am just good with that. I use my real name on facebook and my real picture so I don't have any problems with those information.

KyC required your National ID or passport, and those have your address and sometimes to support your Identification card they will also ask about your billing paper.
This is really something we should not entertain. But if we will talk about the bounty, what can we do? they sometimes not told it at the first that you need it.
KYC can be sell over the internet and that is dangerous.

Not really safe there is a big potential that they are going to sell it to the third party, but do we have an option and a choice, you cannot get your bounty stakes, if you do not undergo KYC, you cannot participate in an airdrop without KYC, and you cannot trade your coins if you did not underdo in exchange, it's one of the risks that we have to take.
worse again when the project is over then there are kyc requirements, and for those who don't verify kyc won't get rewards, I have experienced it like that, even though we've worked hard to promote their project. but I am not disappointed, because the rewards calculation that I get a little, so it will be higher risk if we give up identity

There is no way to know if your KYC details will be safe in the hands of exchanges, those who owns exchanges are humans too and anything can happen, instead of taking the risk it will be better to get used to DEX exchanges or find some exchanges that doesn't require any KYC details for trading or exchanging coins and tokens

I have read a lot of bad reports about KYC in bounty campaign, KYC and exchange verifications but of the three I prefer to do KYC to exchanges than airdrop and bounty campaign because exchanges are more compliant than the two, and besides I cannot do a trade on most exchange if I will not undergo KYC.

The problem is that nobody knows how safe are they. But I am pretty sure that exchanges, especially shitty ones are making huge money on selling those docs on the black market. It just makes sense, thats why I prefer to stay on decentralised exchanges.

One of my fears is that one of these days, all those scam projects that conducted kyc will run out of the stolen funds and will end up selling people's data to big organization. I do pray that this day never comes. KYC is being abused too much

The purpose has totally been diverted and it’s a betrayal to the Decentralised world

Most especially bounty managers that uses kyc as a restriction to corner hunters reward to them self
The principle is concise and clear; avoid kyc related projects if you have doubts

But ensure to always dyor

KYC issue should not be taken lightly. You can make use of block chain, cryptocurrrency, such as trading them, investments, without getting your personal details involved. Some exchanges allow you to trade or withdraw particular minimum amount without KYC. Meanwhile, most of us do not exchange those minimum withdrawals per day.

My opinion is this. Everyone is trying to do such things so that they would not prohibit the trade in American on their exchange, because they have a service that regulates cryptocurrency laws (SEC). And in America there is a lot of money that will arrange good liquidity. After all, the SEC has banned a lot for the citizens of their country.

We know that our documents submitted as a check to KYC exchanges will never be safe. There will always be some risk of hacking and theft of this data. Everything on the Internet, everything is at risk of being hacked. Especially attract the attention of various fraudsters of the exchange, where multimillion-dollar amounts are concentrated. Therefore, it is better to transfer small amounts through exchanges and not undergo such checks, and keep your money on the exchange if possible, not for long.
