Terms of Service Review
DFX is a Swiss-regulated financial service that acts as a fiat-to-crypto gateway. It provides purchasing, selling, exchanging, and custody of cryptocurrencies, primarily via SEPA bank transfers.
Public Transaction Logs
To ensure maximum transparency, DFX publishes the input/output assets, amounts, transaction IDs, and sender/recipient addresses for all transactions on the public blockchain.
Third-Party Data Sharing
When transferring funds to non-self-hosted wallets, users must provide their name, address, and transaction details, which DFX automatically forwards to the third-party wallet provider.
Long Data Retention
DFX legally retains your financial, payment, and contract data, as well as records of transactions, for a full 10 years after your business relationship is terminated.
Heavy Refund Penalties
If you experience a transaction issue and request a refund directly through your bank instead of DFX support, you will be passed a fee of CHF 500 plus 0.10% of the transaction amount.
DeFi Censorship Risks
DFX may suspend trading, block customer accounts, or refuse transactions without providing reasons, and specifically warns that assets originating from Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols could be flagged and blocked.
Automated Profiling
The service employs automated profiling for credit checks and risk analyses, actively monitoring user behavior to detect irregularities such as simultaneous buying and selling.
