# Account Creation and Ownership

Midas provides a straightforward account registration process designed to make participation accessible while maintaining account ownership and data security.

***

To create a Midas account, users are required to provide three essential details: **name, email address, and country of residence**. These details establish the user's account identity within the Midas application and support account management.

Each account is registered using a unique email address. A single email address can be associated with only one Midas account, establishing a unique registration identifier for account ownership and helping prevent multiple accounts from being created using the same email address.

#### **Data Protection and Security**

Midas treats user information as an important component of account security. Registration data is stored using security measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, and misuse. Sensitive data is protected through appropriate encryption and access-control mechanisms.

The email address serves as the account's unique registration identifier, while the user's name and country provide basic account information. Together, these details establish the foundation for account management and future account-related verification processes.

Through this registration model, Midas aims to maintain a simple onboarding experience while supporting account integrity, user data protection, and a more reliable community environment.
