1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how AMLGuard Ltd ("Company", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares, and otherwise processes your Personal Data when you use our website https://AML-Guard.cc/ ("Website") and the AML check service provided through it ("Service").
The Service includes free AML checks for crypto wallets and transactions, risk scoring, and supporting compliance data. When you use the Service or interact with us by any means (for example, by submitting a wallet address for screening or communicating via email), you may provide us with your Personal Data. This Policy explains how we handle and protect that data.
"Personal Data" means information that relates to, describes, or identifies you — such as your name, email address, or IP address. Wallet addresses submitted to the checker are public on-chain data and are not themselves considered Personal Data unless they are linked to your identity.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the processing of your Personal Data as described in this Policy. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Use.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide to us
When you use the Service, contact our support team, or participate in any interactions with us, you may voluntarily provide us with:
- Check inputs — wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and blockchain network selections submitted for AML screening.
- Support information — the content of requests or correspondence you send us when seeking technical assistance.
- Contact information — your email address and name when you reach out through the Contact form or by email.
- Feedback — information shared with us when providing feedback on the Service or participating in optional surveys.
2.2 Information collected automatically
Certain technical information is collected automatically when you visit the Website. This does not directly reveal your identity but helps us maintain security, optimize the Service, and facilitate support. Tracking technologies include cookies, pixels, embedded scripts, and similar technologies.
- Browser data — IP address, browser type, browser language, device settings, and general usage patterns.
- Device data — device type, model, operating system brand and version, and general location (country/region) derived from IP.
- Usage data — which pages you visit, how long you stay, which features you interact with.
- Analytics data — general traffic and usage trends for the Service.
2.3 Information from third parties
We may receive information about blockchain transactions and wallet activity from public blockchain data, compliance data providers (such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, Crystal, Scorechain, and Merkle Science), and public sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN, FATF watchlists). This data is used solely to generate AML risk scores and is not associated with your personal identity.
3. How we use your data
We use the Personal Data collected through the Service to:
- Provide the Service — perform AML checks, generate risk scores, and return results to you.
- Customer support — respond to your requests, troubleshoot issues, and improve your experience.
- Service improvement — analyze aggregated usage patterns and trends to enhance features and performance.
- Security — detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, technical issues, and malicious activity.

- Legal compliance — meet our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
5. Data retention
We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically:

- Support correspondence — retained for up to 2 years from the last interaction.
- Analytics and technical logs — retained in aggregated form for up to 12 months.

7. Data security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption in transit — TLS 1.3 for all connections between your device and our servers.

- Access controls — strict role-based access limits, multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts.
- Network security — firewalls, DDoS protection, intrusion detection.
- Monitoring — continuous logging and anomaly detection.
Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
8. International transfers of data
Your Personal Data may be processed and stored in countries outside your country of residence, including in the European Union, United States, and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. When we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
