Protecting Your Privacy: How We Secure Your Data During Purchases
We want be transparent on how we protect your data!
At our store, we prioritize the protection of our customers' personal information above all else. In this post, I am excited to share with you five ways we ensure your data remains secure during purchases made through our platform.
Running Our Own Nodes: Unlike other stores that utilize third-party nodes which can potentially expose users' IP addresses, we operate dedicated Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero nodes. This approach ensures greater control over transaction handling while preserving your privacy. Although running your own Monero node isn't as crucial due to its inherent privacy features, we still maintain full control over our Monero infrastructure. We avoid all centralized payment gateways, that may legally hold customer data for 3 years or longer.
Bitcoin Lightning Network Security: With regards to the Bitcoin Lightning Network, many custodial services exist; however, these come with potential vulnerabilities since transactions occur off-chain. To mitigate risks associated with centralized wallets, we manage our own Bitcoin Lightning node. By doing so, we guarantee complete ownership and uncompromised security throughout the entire process.
Unique Address Generation: For every purchase, we create fresh, distinct Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero payment addresses. Utilizing individual addresses per transaction enhances fungibility by preventing unwanted connections between payments, ensuring maximum anonymity for our valued customers. Furthermore, law enforcement agencies rely heavily upon known addresses linked to multiple entities, making this practice essential for safeguarding your private information. The exchange you send from does not know you are our customer, the address you pay to has never been used.
Automated Data Deletion: Trusting businesses to erase sensitive emails and orders after completion is risky. That's why we implemented automatic data deletion protocols eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing human error. Encrypted backups are kept for minimal periods before disposal, further securing your valuable data.
Onion URL Payment Processing: When transacting via Tor network, customers receive suggestions to access our payment processing website through our Onion URL. This feature strengthens encryption levels and prevents possible leaks, offering peace of mind for those who cherish their online anonymity.
At our store, we understand that protecting your data goes beyond mere compliance. It's about building trust within the cryptocurrency community and upholding the principles that make decentralization truly remarkable. Stay safe, stay anonymous, and continue supporting projects committed to maintaining your right to privacy!
