GDPR Compliance
The Data Protection Directive 95/46/ec is set to be replaced by the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is meant to be effective from May 25th, 2018. The GDPR aims at standardizing the various different privacy legalizations across the European Union into a single set of rules that will enhance the users’ data protection across all member states. The new digital privacy regulation is applicable to any organization, anywhere in the world that handles European Union citizens’ personal data must comply with it.
On one hand, GDPR may sound intimidating since it strengthens the rules regarding how organizations process personal data of their customers, thus enabling stricter regulations for how to use data collected, as well as enhancing data protection and privacy by periodically conducting privacy impact assessments and better communicating data breaches. However, GDPR may be seen as an opportunity to assess and improve the way companies deliver services to their clients. Data security and privacy are a concern for online customers.
Our platform is compliant to the guidelines set forth by the GDPR by implementing privacy processes and procedures aiming fostering the transparency of client’s data collection, data storage and processing, as well as data removal. More information is available at https://gdpr-info.eu/.

Code of Conduct
We want all visitors to our websites to have a safe, interesting and friendly experience. Accordingly, all users of our sites and any contributions they make to the sites must comply with this Code of Conduct. Your use of our websites means that you accept and agree to abide by this Code of Conduct, which supplements and forms part of the Terms of Service.
We may need to revise the Code of Conduct from time to time by amending this page. Please review this page regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes we make as they are legally binding on you.
If you reasonably believe that any contribution to our websites made by another user contravenes this Code of Conduct and/or any of the Terms of Service, please notify us.
Within this Code of Conduct, “contribution” means any material posted or uploaded to our websites by a member of the public, including without limitation any text, photographs, graphics, video or audio material.
Your contributions:
- must be your own original work. You may be entitled to incorporate into your contribution certain material made available on our websites but only where that is expressly made clear. Otherwise, all material in your contributions must be your own original piece of work and should not plagiarise others’ work.
- must not infringe anyone else’s rights, including copyright. Your contributions must not plagiarise or infringe the rights of any other person including any copyright, database, trade mark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, personal or proprietary rights of any kind. Therefore with regard to existing articles, news reports, music, video clips or other copyright material you will generally need the explicit permission of the relevant copyright owners.
- must not contain unlawful or objectionable content nor involve disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour. Please be respectful to other members, even if you disagree with them. Material that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive, abusive, hateful, inflammatory, profane, racially, sexually or religiously offensive or otherwise objectionable or unlawful is not acceptable.
- must not contain unsuitable or irrelevant website addresses or URLs. Links to commercial or other inappropriate content will be deleted;
- must not promote illegal or anti-social behaviour. Contributions must not contain violent or explicit material or advocate, promote or assist any unlawful act such as terrorist acts, copyright infringement or computer misuse.

- must not be in any language other than English – or the predominant language of the website if not English. Contributions in other languages will be removed.
- must not involve any flooding, spamming or advertising. Flooding is when the same comment is posted over and over in the same forum; spamming is the posting of the same or very similar comment to more than one forum. All advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, junk mail and any other forms of commercial solicitation are prohibited.
- must not disclose any personal information. Contributions to this website are publicly available and can be viewed by others with whom you may not wish to share such information. Do not include any personal or personally identifiable information about you or others – including your own or anyone else’s email address.
In relation to any forum, please note that when the first post in a thread is deleted, all of its subsequent replies may also be automatically deleted. This means that some of your posts may be deleted because they were placed in response to a post that contravened the Code of Conduct. Keeping your post within these rules will not only ensure that your posts are not removed from the forums, but also that the posts of others will remain.
Breach of the Code of Conduct
It will be our sole decision as to whether there has been a breach of this Code of Conduct. We have the right (but not the obligation) to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any contribution in whole or in part that we deem to be in breach of the Code of Conduct. Where we believe there is a breach of the Code of Conduct, we may take whatever action we feel is appropriate in the circumstances.
Failure to comply with this Code of Conduct constitutes a material breach of the Terms of Service, which could result in us taking any of the following actions:
- issuing a warning to you;
- immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of any contribution or of your right to use our websites, including deletion of any personal profile;
- legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all losses and costs on an indemnity basis (including, but not limited to, reasonable administrative and legal costs) resulting from the breach and/or further legal action against you;
- and/or disclosure of such information to law enforcement authorities or other relevant third parties as we reasonably feel is necessary.
We exclude liability for actions taken in response to breaches of this Code of Conduct. The responses described in this policy are not limited, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.
Initial Coin Offering Terms and Conditions
The following provisions apply to users who wish to take part in the ICO period by acquiring Criptium tokens, which in turn entitles users to make use of the platform being launched through this project.
1. Token acquisition
When a user buys a Criptium cryptocurrency (CRIP), he or she acquires the right to enjoy the benefits developed and offered through the Criptium platform; these are explained in the project’s White paper, which is available on the official web website (criptium.com)
Before taking part in the ICO, users should carefully read these terms and conditions, as well as the White paper, as any future claims based on ignorance of the policies and rules governing the ICO are prohibited.
2. The agreement between the parties
The information detailed here constitutes the agreement entered into freely between the parties, namely, Criptium and the user, and gives details of any issues regarding the purchase of Criptium tokens and the services available through the Criptium platform.
By using the services on the platform, the user agrees with and is subject to the terms and conditions defined in the clauses below. The Criptium platform reserves the right to alter these at any time.
Whenever the terms and conditions detailed herein are altered and the user continues to use the services made available through the platform, he or she thereby expresses his or her consent to the new terms and conditions in place.
3. Criptium and its services
Criptium consists of a set of solutions made available to its users using blockchain technology and is based on the premise of making the cryptocurrency segment more accessible to users by providing tailored solutions developed exclusively with the aim of bringing the benefits of this type of product into users’ day-to-day lives.
4. The Criptium token, minimum knowledge and risk assessment
The CRIP token is not a movable investment asset and after its acquisition it cannot be refunded; however, ownership of the token may be transferred as per the user’s wishes.
Likewise, the CRIP does not entitle the owner to participation or voting at Criptium general meetings and does not guarantee any right to a share of the profits, remuneration or bonus of any kind.
Tokens may be acquired only during the ICO phase, as advertised during the campaign held previously and presented in the white paper. Once the ICO phase is closed, all untraded tokens shall be destroyed so as to ensure the exclusivity of the benefits they confer and their appreciation.
Users who acquire CRIP tokens accept the risks, costs and benefits related to that purchase, as detailed in this document.
In taking part in the ICO, a person acquiring CRIP tokens states that he or she has technical and working knowledge of the cryptocurrency segment, blockchain systems and services and declares him or herself aware of the risks associated with this type of product.
Criptium shall not be held liable under any circumstances for losses or inability to access the CRIP platform.
Given that this is an ICO, the user declares that he or she is aware that the platform is under development and accepts the risks, in particular, the fact that Criptium may, for reasons beyond its control, not be able to develop all the services and tools it intends to provide. Thus, the user must carefully assess the risks arising from this segment, verifying the costs and assessing the benefits, including specialized advice, as appropriate.
5. Self-acquisition
Criptium reserves the right to acquire tokens directly from the market developed through its platform, making the relevant disbursement of the market value at the time of acquisition, taking into account the trading pairs current at the time. However, such acquisitions shall only be authorized after a positive opinion issued by the Board of Directors, with a view to avoiding any conflict of interests.
Notwithstanding the provision above, any type of manipulation of the market that could materialize from own actions and operations of Criptium is expressly prohibited.
6. Intellectual property
All intellectual property rights arising from Criptium, including those arising from software, know-how, analysis, programs and copyright, shall belong solely and exclusively to Criptium.
7. Disclaimer
Criptium and its employees, developers and creators reserve the right to decline liability for any loss arising from use of the platform or arising from any technical interruption, fault, malfunction or suspension of the services provided through the platform.
8. General definitions
CRIP is classed as a utility token, therefore it is not regarded as an investment and is not included in the products regulated by the Central Bank or the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Criptium shall be a platform that is managed through its tokens, which grant benefits to holders, therefore it cannot be regarded as a financial intermediary.
Acquiring CRIP shall not confer on buyers any right or influence over the organization and governance of Criptium.
In accordance with the express definition provided in the white paper prepared by Criptium, the regulatory bodies have examined the operations and companies that operate cryptocurrencies, both nationally and internationally. In view of this, it must be stated that the enactment of regulatory measures, the establishment of investigations and the implementation of specific actions affecting the activities carried on by Criptium may have an impact on its interests or even make them unviable in future. Therefore, the user hereby declares full awareness of the possibility that Criptium may, at any time, change its characteristics so as to meet the legal definitions imposed by the relevant regulatory bodies.
Although the Criptium platform is in full development, Criptium does not guarantee that it will be able to implement all the tools that it intends to provide to interested persons, neither does it guarantee any outcome regarding the appreciation or depreciation of the CRIP, given that such an outcome stems from the Law of Supply and Demand, which shall dictate the price of tokens among users.
If any of the above provisions are held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Anti Money Laundering Policy
What you are asked to do
You may find that you are asked to confirm your identity and other personal details. We have established special verification systems involving your bank account or payment card to prove your identity. To safeguard the integrity of our payment system, your criptium.com account may also be subject to periodic transaction limits depending on your user status.
When you are asked to do it
You could be asked to confirm your identity whether you are applying to be a new customer or have been a customer for some time. While our identity verification systems are designed to minimise any inconvenience for you, the verification process may take several days to complete.
Why you are asked to do it
Generally criminals and terrorist use cash. Criminals turn the “dirty” cash made from drug trafficking, smuggling, and robbery into clean money by using false identities or taking the names of innocent people, like you. Making sure that people are who they say they are is essential in the fight against crime and terrorism. This does not mean in any way that suspicion is falling on you. Any information about your identity is held confidentially and will help stop your identity being used falsely.
Who is involved
The government and all organisations involved in financial services. All are united in their determination to stop the spread of financial crime as part of the international effort to crack down on financial crime – protecting us all against crime and terrorism. Your co-operation is vital to the successful fight against crime and terrorism.
What the UK law requires
- We may be required to verify your identity and address.
- We are required to keep full records of all transactions together with identification provided.
- We are required to monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size.
- We have a legal obligation to report to the National Crime Agency any suspicious transaction.
Know Your Customer Policy
Objectives, scope and application of the policy:
The objective of the KYC guidelines is to prevent us from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities or terrorist financing activities. KYC procedures also enable us to know and understand our customers and their financial dealings better which in turn will help us to manage our risks prudently. Thus, the KYC policy has been framed by us for the following purposes:
- To prevent criminal elements from using us for money laundering activities.
- To enable us to know and understand our customers and their financial dealings better which, in turn, would help us to manage risks prudently.
- To put in place appropriate controls for detection and reporting of suspicious activities in accordance with applicable laws and laid down procedures.
- To comply with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines.
- To ensure that the concerned staff are adequately trained in KYC and AML procedures. This KYC policy is applicable to all systems of our company and is to be read in conjunction with related operational guidelines issued from time to time.
