Privacy policy

QuietSwap is built to know as little about you as possible. This page explains exactly what we process when you use the site and swap coins, why, and what we never collect.

The short version

No cookies

The site doesn't set any cookies, first-party or third-party.

No trackers or analytics

No Google Analytics, no ad pixels, no social media trackers.

No account, no KYC

We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or ID.

Kept 24 hours, then deleted

Swap records, including the IP address and browser used, are erased automatically after 24 hours.

QuietSwap uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party trackers. Fonts and scripts are served from our own servers, so your browser doesn't contact Google or any other outside service when you visit.

Who we are

This website, quietswap.io, and the QuietSwap swap service are operated by [Company legal name], [registered address] ("QuietSwap", "we", "us"). We are responsible for the personal data processed through the site.

What we collect

We only process the information needed to run a swap, keep it secure and keep the site working.

When you create a swap

  • Swap details: the direction (for example XMR to BTC), the amount and the estimated amount you receive.
  • Addresses you give us: your receiving address and, if you provide one, your refund address.
  • Transaction data: the one-time deposit address we generate, your deposit transaction and our payout transaction ID.
  • Order record: an order ID, timestamps and the status of each step.
  • Connection details: the IP address and browser type (user agent) used to create the swap. We keep them with the swap record so we can investigate failed swaps and stop abuse.

All of this is kept for 24 hours and then deleted automatically, whether the swap completed, expired or failed.

When you visit the site

Like any website, our servers receive technical information your browser sends with every request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. We don't keep access logs of your visits. This information is used only to deliver the page. The only time we save your IP address and browser type is when you create a swap, as described above, and then only for 24 hours.

When you contact us

If you write to support, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your email address and your order ID. We use them only to answer you and fix any error, and delete them after 7 days.

What we don't collect

  • No name, email address, phone number or postal address to use the service.
  • No identity documents, selfies or KYC verification.
  • No account, password or login history.
  • No browsing profiles, advertising IDs or device fingerprints.
  • No data bought from or sold to data brokers.

Cookies and trackers

QuietSwap does not set cookies and does not use local storage to track you. We don't use Google Analytics or any other analytics service, and we don't embed advertising pixels, social media widgets or third-party chat tools.

Fonts and the QR-code library are hosted on our own servers. When you load a page, your browser only talks to quietswap.io. Because of this, we don't show a cookie banner: there's nothing to consent to.

If we ever add privacy-friendly statistics, we will use a cookieless tool that doesn't identify individual visitors, and we will update this page first.

How long we keep it

DataKept for
Swap records, including IP address and browser type24 hours, then deleted automatically
Access logs of site visitsNot stored
Support emails7 days, mostly to investigate errors, then deleted

Because swap records are deleted after 24 hours, we can't look up an older swap. Keep your order ID and the transaction IDs until you've confirmed the coins are in your wallet, and contact us within 24 hours if something looks wrong.

Who we share it with

We don't sell or rent personal data. We share it only when needed to run the service or when the law requires it:

  • Blockchain networks: to complete your swap, transactions are broadcast to the Bitcoin and Monero networks (see below).
  • Authorities: if we receive a valid legal request, we may have to disclose records we still hold. Because swap records are deleted after 24 hours and we keep no access logs, there is usually nothing to disclose about older swaps.

Price data is fetched by our servers from public market sources. To detect your deposit, our server also looks up our own deposit address on the Bitcoin blockchain through a public block explorer or our own node; Monero deposits are checked with our own wallet. Your browser never contacts those services, and no information about you is sent to them.

Blockchains are public

Bitcoin transactions, including addresses and amounts, are permanently visible on a public ledger. Anyone can see the Bitcoin we send to your address. Monero hides sender, receiver and amount by default, but the existence of transactions is still recorded on its blockchain.

We can delete our own records, but nobody can delete or change data that has been written to a blockchain.

Security

The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections. Swap records are stored with access limited to the staff and systems that need them to run the service. We keep the amount of data we hold small on purpose: data we never collect can't be leaked.

No system is perfectly secure. Protect your own wallets and seed phrases, and never share them with anyone, including people claiming to be QuietSwap support.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the EU and UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy;
  • ask us to correct or delete it;
  • object to or restrict how we use it;
  • complain to your local data protection authority.

We don't use accounts, and swap records are deleted after 24 hours, so in most cases we hold no data about you at all. If you contact us about a recent swap, include your order ID so we can find it. We'll reply within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the effective date at the top. Significant changes, such as adding any kind of statistics tool, will be announced on the site before they take effect.
