Compliance Policy
This Compliance Policy describes the approach of Drogoz Network (the “Operator”) to legal and regulatory compliance, including anti-money-laundering awareness, sanctions and export controls, data protection, and cooperation with lawful requests. It forms part of, and is incorporated by reference into, the Terms of Service.
The Operator is committed to lawful operation and expects all Users to use the Services only for lawful purposes. This Policy describes our compliance posture. Where this Policy references legal frameworks or principles, this does not, by itself, constitute a representation, warranty, or certification of formal compliance with, or registration under, any specific regime unless separately and expressly confirmed in writing.

10.3. Nothing in this Policy obliges the Operator to disclose information voluntarily in the absence of a legally binding obligation, nor to take any action that would itself violate Applicable Law.
