# 10. Compliance & Risk Controls

Baltex operates with a risk-based compliance approach:

* **Sanctions/geo controls:** access restrictions for sanctioned jurisdictions and TOR egress points where required.
* **Partner screening:** integrated partners conduct AML screening, sanctions checks, and ongoing compliance reviews.
* **Record separation:** intake and outtake exchanges maintain separate records (sender vs receiver).
* **Mixer policy:** private flows are transaction relays and are not custodial mixers.

Fiat on/off-ramps, where available, are facilitated by third-party services and governed by their own terms and policies.
