We Take Nothing.
We Store Nothing.
We Know Nothing.

🔍 The Short Version

We know that most people don't read privacy policies. They're long, they're written in legal language, and they usually exist to bury what companies are actually doing with your data somewhere in paragraph fourteen. So here is the unambiguous, plain-English summary of this entire document:

That's it. Everything below is the full legal elaboration of that single sentence. You're welcome to read it — and we encourage you to, because we think transparency matters — but you now have the complete picture.

📥 What We Actually Collect

In the interest of total transparency, here is the exhaustive list of everything ZeroKYC collects or handles in the course of processing a swap:

• Your destination wallet address. You provide this so we know where to send your swapped funds. It is passed to our exchange infrastructure to execute the transaction. It is not stored in any user-facing database, not linked to any profile, and not retained beyond the operational lifespan of the swap.
• The swap parameters you enter. The coins you selected and the amount you specified. This is necessary to create and route the transaction. It is not stored or associated with any identifying information about you.
• Standard server logs. Like virtually every web server in existence, ours may generate basic technical logs that include IP addresses, request timestamps, and browser information. These are operational in nature, exist briefly for infrastructure monitoring, and are not used to build profiles, track users, or identify individuals. Where possible, we minimize the retention of these logs.

That is the complete list. There is no hidden item fourteen. There is no "also we partner with advertising networks." This is it.

🚫 What We Absolutely Do Not Collect

Because it is apparently necessary in this industry to say this explicitly and at length, here is everything ZeroKYC does not collect, request, store, or process:

• Your name — first, last, middle, or otherwise.
• Your email address.
• Your phone number.
• Your home address, mailing address, or any physical address.
• Your date of birth or age.
• Your government-issued ID of any kind — passport, driver's license, national ID card, or otherwise.
• A photograph or selfie of you.
• Biometric data of any kind.
• Your source of funds or proof of income.
• Your employment status or employer information.
• Your nationality, citizenship, or country of residence.
• Your social media accounts or any linked identity.
• Your browsing history on our site beyond what is technically incidental to serving pages.
• Cross-site tracking data of any kind.
• Behavioral analytics or heatmap data.
• Advertising identifiers or third-party tracking pixels.
• Any information about your other cryptocurrency holdings, transactions, or wallets beyond the single address you provide for a specific swap.

We designed ZeroKYC from the ground up with this principle at the core. Every architectural decision, every feature choice, every integration was evaluated through the lens of: does this require us to know more about our users? If the answer was yes, we either found a different approach or didn't build it.

💡 Why We Built It This Way

We want to be clear that our data minimization approach is not just a legal compliance strategy or a marketing angle. It is a deeply held conviction about the relationship between people, money, and privacy — and about the responsibilities that come with handling other people's financial activity.

The financial industry has historically treated data collection as a default. Banks know everything about you. Exchanges know everything about you. Payment processors know everything about you. And every time one of those entities gets breached — which happens constantly — the consequences fall on the people whose data was collected, not on the institutions that collected it. The institution moves on. You deal with identity theft for years.

We rejected that model. Not because we had to, but because it is the right thing to do. When you use ZeroKYC, your financial activity is between you and the blockchain. We are the pipe that moves value from one place to another. Pipes don't need to know who you are. We are infrastructure, not surveillance.

There is also a principled argument that goes beyond the practical. Financial privacy is not just useful — it is fundamental. The ability to transact privately underpins freedom of association, freedom of expression, and freedom of conscience. When you can buy and donate and pay without a record, you can act freely. When every transaction is logged and catalogued, the possibility of coercion — by corporations, by states, by anyone with access to that data — becomes real. We don't want to be a tool of that system. We want to be outside it.

So when we say we collect nothing, we mean it in the strongest possible sense: not as a policy that might change when it becomes inconvenient, but as a structural commitment built into how the service works.

⛓️ Blockchain & Public Data

There is one important caveat to everything above, and it is not something we control: blockchain transactions are public. When your swap is processed, the relevant on-chain transactions — the deposit to the swap address and the payout to your destination wallet — are permanently recorded on the respective blockchains and visible to anyone who looks.

This is a property of the technology, not of our service. We do not publish, index, or specifically surface your transaction data. But we also cannot make on-chain data private — no one can. If you require a high level of on-chain privacy, you may wish to research appropriate tools such as privacy-focused cryptocurrencies or mixing services that are relevant to your situation, and to understand the legal status of those tools in your jurisdiction.

We also want to be transparent that our underlying swap infrastructure is provided by a third-party exchange partner. That partner's systems process the technical execution of swaps. While we have selected a partner whose infrastructure we trust, we cannot make representations about their internal data handling beyond the scope of our own platform and interface.

🤝 Third Parties

ZeroKYC does not sell your data. We do not rent your data. We do not trade your data. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, analytics companies, or any other commercial third party. There is no data economy operating behind this service.

The only third-party data transfer that occurs is the forwarding of your destination wallet address and swap parameters to our exchange infrastructure partner for the purpose of executing your swap. This is a technical necessity — without it, the swap cannot be processed. This data is used solely to fulfill the transaction and is subject to the exchange partner's own terms and privacy practices.

We may disclose information if required to do so by a valid legal order from a competent authority. However, given that we hold essentially no personal data, the practical scope of any such disclosure is extremely limited. We cannot hand over what we do not have. This is by design.

We do not use:

• Google Analytics or any behavioral analytics platform.
• Facebook Pixel or any social media tracking.
• Any advertising network or retargeting service.
• Any customer data platform or CRM containing user profiles.
• Any third-party identity verification or KYC service.

🍪 Cookies & Tracking

ZeroKYC does not use third-party tracking cookies. We do not deploy advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or behavioral tracking of any kind. We do not participate in cross-site tracking networks. There are no persistent identifiers being written to your browser for the purpose of monitoring your activity online.

Our site may use minimal session-level technical cookies or browser storage where necessary for the basic functioning of the interface — for example, temporarily holding swap state during an active session. These are strictly functional, do not contain personal information, and are not shared with any third party.

🔐 Security

The best security is not having a database to breach. Because we collect essentially nothing, there is no treasure chest of personal data for an attacker to steal. This is not an accident — it is a security architecture decision. Data minimization is the most effective form of data protection.

That said, we take the security of our infrastructure seriously. Our systems use encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications. We apply standard security practices to our web infrastructure and monitor for unusual activity. Swap parameters and wallet addresses transmitted through our platform are handled over encrypted channels.

In the unlikely event that we identify a security incident affecting user data, we will take immediate steps to contain the issue and will communicate transparently about what occurred and what, if anything, was exposed. Given our minimal data collection posture, the blast radius of any such incident would be extremely limited.

👤 Minors

ZeroKYC is not directed at or intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors. If you are under 18, please do not use this service.

Because we collect no personal information, we have no mechanism to verify the age of our users. We rely on users to represent truthfully that they meet the age requirement set out in our Terms of Service. If we become aware that a minor has used our service, we will take appropriate steps consistent with our minimal data posture.

⚖️ Your Rights

Various privacy regulations around the world — including the GDPR in Europe, the CCPA in California, and others — grant individuals rights over their personal data. These typically include the right to access, correct, delete, or port data held about them.

We support all of these rights in spirit, and we encourage stronger data protection regulations globally. In practical terms, however, our data minimization approach means there is little for these rights to act upon:

• Right to access: We hold no personal data file associated with you to provide.
• Right to deletion: We have nothing linked to your identity to delete.
• Right to portability: There is no personal data profile to export.
• Right to correction: We hold no inaccurate personal records to correct.
• Right to object: We do not process personal data for profiling or direct marketing purposes.

If you believe we hold data about you and wish to make a request under applicable law, please contact us. We will respond to all such requests in good faith and to the best of our ability, with full transparency about what we do and do not hold.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We commit to never weakening the core privacy guarantees described in this policy without clear, prominent notice.

Any change that would involve collecting more data than we currently collect, sharing data with new third parties, or materially altering how swap data is handled will be clearly communicated. We will not bury changes in legal language. We will tell you what changed and why in plain terms.

Your continued use of ZeroKYC following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any change, you should stop using the service.
