## What does no KYC mean at PontProxy?

At PontProxy, no KYC means we never ask who you are. There is no ID upload, no selfie, no document check and no company-email requirement.

- **Login:** account-number login — email optional. Your account number is your login, so keep it safe.
- **Payment:** crypto only, in the coins listed below.

On-chain crypto payments are recorded on a public blockchain. We store the payment record with your order, but never your name, postal address or ID. Setup steps are in the [quickstart guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/quickstart/).

## Is there a private proxy provider in Europe with no ID verification?

Yes. PontProxy sells UK and European proxies with no ID verification, and it treats this as privacy, not secrecy. You share the minimum: an account number, plus an email only if you choose to add one.

A proxy changes the IP address that websites see. It does not place you outside the law, and it does not cancel a website's terms. Every PontProxy account follows our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://pontproxy.com/acceptable-use/).

## Why does GDPR data minimisation favour no-KYC proxies?

The GDPR says personal data must be "adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary" (Article 5(1)(c)). The UK GDPR contains the same rule, and the ICO tells organisations to hold no more data than their purpose needs.

A proxy service needs to know which account bought which traffic. It does not need your passport. So PontProxy collects no ID documents, and there are no stored copies that could leak.

## What does PontProxy collect, and what does it not collect?

| Data | Collected by PontProxy? | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passport, ID card, driving licence or selfie | No | Not needed to deliver proxies |
| Company documents or corporate email | No | Not needed |
| Name and postal address | No | Not needed for a crypto payment |
| Email address | Optional | Only if you choose to add one |
| Account number | Yes | Your login |
| Order history and payment records | Yes | To deliver orders and give support |
| Per-day traffic totals | Yes | To bill traffic and show your usage |
| Connection metadata (timestamp, target domain, bytes) | Yes | Abuse handling only, then deleted |

Retention periods are set out in our [privacy policy](https://pontproxy.com/privacy/).

## What guardrails replace KYC at PontProxy?

Instead of checking identity, PontProxy controls what the network can be used for. Four guardrails apply to every account:

1. **Acceptable Use Policy.** Legitimate uses only, such as public-data scraping, SERP tracking, price and ad verification, and geo-testing. Fraud, carding, account takeover, spam and DDoS are prohibited. Read the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://pontproxy.com/acceptable-use/).
2. **Blocked targets.** We block online banking, government portals, payment processors and outgoing email (SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587).
3. **Abuse desk.** We review every report sent to abuse@pontproxy.com within 24 hours. Confirmed abuse leads to termination without refund.
4. **Sourcing standard.** We resell only networks that meet our [sourcing standard](https://pontproxy.com/sourcing/), including end-user consent with opt-out.

### Does no KYC mean there are no rules?

Our abuse desk reviews every report within 24 hours, and confirmed abuse leads to termination without refund.

### What personal data does PontProxy keep?

We never collect ID documents, selfies or company papers, in line with GDPR Article 5(1)(c). Full details are in our [privacy policy](https://pontproxy.com/privacy/).

### Can I get a refund without KYC?

Yes. Refunds do not require identity documents. Terms: unused residential or rotating-mobile traffic credited back to your balance within 7 days of purchase; a dedicated port that does not work as described credited back within 24 hours; balance itself is never refunded. Termination for abuse carries no refund. See the [refund policy](https://pontproxy.com/refunds/).

### Is it legal to buy proxies without KYC in the UK or EU?

Using a proxy is generally legal in the UK and the EU. The law regulates what you do through it, for example under data-protection and computer-misuse rules. Buying without KYC does not change those rules. This is general information, not legal advice; see our [guide to proxy legality in the UK and EU](https://pontproxy.com/guides/are-proxies-legal-uk-eu/).
