# Privacy

Mt Pelerin processes all user identification data internally, nothing is outsourced to third party providers. We are allowed to do so under our Swiss financial intermediary status. This status means that we apply the Swiss KYC/AML directives, and that the way we apply them is audited several times a year by an independant organization affiliated to FINMA, the Swiss financial market supervisory authority.

When your users use our service by bank transfer to our Swiss bank accounts, their data is protected by Swiss privacy. It means that we don't share their info with any third party, and that nobody can force us to do so with the exception of a court order in the context of a criminal investigation.

When using card payments, user data must be shared with our EU service providers and isn't protected by Swiss privacy anymore.
