Data Handling Policy

Version 1.0. Last updated: May 2026. Onbridge (operating under [Registered Company Name], Dubai, UAE)

This policy sets out how Onbridge collects, handles, stores, transmits and deletes client documentation and associated data. It applies to all data received from clients in connection with our onboarding facilitation service. We collect only what is necessary and retain it only for as long as required.

1. Introduction

Onbridge provides institutional exchange onboarding facilitation services. Our service enables institutional clients to complete the KYB onboarding process across multiple cryptocurrency exchanges by submitting a single consolidated document package to us.

Onbridge acts solely as a document management and submission service. We do not provide financial, investment, or legal advice. We do not hold, custody, or transact virtual assets on behalf of clients.

2. What we collect

Corporate documents

UBO and director information

Compliance and financial documents

Data minimisation principle: we collect only the documentation explicitly required by your selected exchanges. We do not request supplementary information beyond what is operationally necessary to complete your onboarding submission.

3. How we use your data

Client data is used exclusively for the following purposes:

We do not use client data for marketing, analytics, or any secondary commercial purpose. We do not sell or license client data to any third party.

4. Storage and security infrastructure

Powered by Tresorit

All client documents are stored exclusively on Tresorit, a Swiss-based, enterprise-grade document management platform. Tresorit's zero-knowledge architecture means files are encrypted on your device before upload. Not even Tresorit can access your documents.

We are transparent that it is Tresorit as our infrastructure provider, not Onbridge as an organisation, that holds these certifications. We are happy to provide Tresorit's full certification documentation to your compliance team on request.
