Know Your Customer (KYC)

At HostingJournalist.com, we are committed to the integrity and authenticity of the content on our global news & community platform targeting the cloud, hosting, and data center domains. This is particularly true for our HostingJournalist Insider service involving User Generated Content (UGC). To demonstrate our commitment to compliance and our esteemed reputation, we have a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure in place.

Upon membership account registration for HostingJournalist Insider, companies are obligated to furnish precise and corroborated information. This encompasses company name, registered address, key contact details, and an outline of the business activities. For EU-based businesses, automatic EU VAT number verification is conducted via the VIES database of the European Union to ensure regulatory compliance. This is followed by a manual backend verification of HostingJournalist Insider member data.

KYC + Abuse Notice

While we welcome the richness that UGC brings to our platform, ensuring its trustworthiness is paramount. Businesses have the privilege to publish an array of content, including but not limited to press releases, blogs, videos, and whitepapers. Our KYC measures are strategically implemented to get a precise image of our Insider members, to maintain the authenticity of content on HostingJournalist.com, and to build a reliable environment free from misinformation.

In addition to our KYC protocol, a ‘Report This Post’ abuse notice is added to every content marketing resource that may be published on HostingJournalist.com - to assure that the content does not violate our Terms & Conditions and the rights of others.

Non-compliance with these KYC requirements may result in account suspension or termination, as we prioritize the safety and credibility of our global news & community platform.
