# Receive Policies

## Overview

A receive policy lets an account control which senders and tokens it will accept. Inbound transfers
that fail your policy are blocked rather than credited, and the funds can later be claimed by an
authorized party or burned. This gives compliance-sensitive recipients control over what lands in
their account.

[See the Policy Registry specification](https://docs.tempo.xyz/protocol/tip403/overview)
