title: Do I need to KYC?

**No.** You do not need to provide personal identification documents (passport, driver's license, or selfies) to use Kiyotaka.

## How it works

- **Decentralized:** Kiyotaka is a non-custodial interface. We do not hold your funds or act as a bank.
- **Social Login:** We verify your account via **Privy** (using Email, Google, or X) to secure your session and wallet, but this does not require submitting government ID.
- **Geo-Blocking:** Instead of KYC, we use strict IP-based geo-blocking to ensure users from restricted jurisdictions (like the USA) cannot access execution features.
