Your most important questions, answered clearly.
No. Telos never has withdrawal permissions on your API keys. You create read-only keys on your exchange, meaning Telos can only view balances and place trades — never move your funds.
API keys are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Keys are stored in isolated vaults with hardware security modules. They are never logged, cached, or exposed in plain text. Combined with read-only API access and exchange-specific connections, your keys are protected at every layer.
The emergency Kill Switch halts all trading across all connected exchanges instantly. You maintain full control and can disconnect exchanges at any time from your dashboard or mobile device.
Telos has read-only access to market data and the ability to place/cancel orders within limits you define. Telos cannot transfer, withdraw, or modify your exchange account settings in any way.
Every trade passes through 4 risk gates: drawdown limits (stop trading at your configured loss threshold), position caps (maximum size per trade and total exposure), correlation blocking (prevent over-concentration), and volatility guards (pause during market chaos).
Telos is operated by Kentaur Capital Holdings Pty Ltd, registered in Sydney, Australia. We comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR and CCPA. Our security practices are regularly audited.
