Your personal and financial information is stored and processed in cloud services that meet our strict infrastructure security requirements. For more information about the customer data we collect and how we use it, check out our Privacy Policy.
We host our digital infrastructure with Amazon Web Services, industry leaders when it comes to access control, data encryption, monitoring and isolation. CoinJar’s internal networks are fully encrypted, firewall-protected and isolated from the internet. Our application and database servers are run inside private networks, with further layers of separation between staging and production environments, while public-facing services are handled by dedicated load balancers that only handle HTTP requests.
All our internal services and databases are protected by cryptographically-secure Multi-Factor Authentication. Engineers do not have access to application credentials or production servers and all deployments are performed independently by a deployment server. CoinJar employees must pass a criminal background check before joining the company and take part in ongoing security and anti-money laundering training.
Our members can stay updated on any outages and issues by using our real-time Status page, which shows the current status of our wallets and services, details of any current incidents, and information about upcoming maintenance.
CoinJar works with an active community of security researchers through our Bug Bounty program to help us continually improve the security of CoinJar and our members’ funds.
CoinJar’s digital currency exchange services are operated by CoinJar UK Limited (company number 8905988), registered by the Financial Conduct Authority as a Cryptoasset Exchange Provider and Custodian Wallet Provider in the United Kingdom under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, as amended (Firm Reference No. 928767).
Like all investments, cryptoassets carry risk. Due to the potential volatility of the cryptoasset markets, the value of your investments may fall significantly and lead to total loss. Cryptoassets are complex and are unregulated in the UK, and you are unable to access the Financial Service Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service. We use third party banking, safekeeping and payment providers, and the failure of any of these providers could also lead to a loss of your assets. We recommend you obtain financial advice before making a decision to use your credit card to purchase cryptoassets or to invest in cryptoassets. Capital Gains Tax may be payable on profits.
