10. Data Protection

User information collected through AML/KYC procedures is protected using industry-standard security measures. Information may only be shared when legally required, for regulatory compliance, or with authorised verification providers.

Energy Protocols reserves the right to refuse service, suspend accounts, or terminate business relationships if verification requirements are not met, false information is provided, suspicious activities are detected, or legal or regulatory concerns arise.
