Privacy Policy

1. The short version

Arcane is an anonymous crypto desk. We do not ask who you are. No name, no email, no phone number, no identity documents, and no proof of address. Your activity is associated with a randomly generated account ID protected by a private access key.

2. What we collect

• Anonymous account record. We store a random account ID and a one-way hash of your access key. The access key itself cannot be recovered by the desk.
• Trade records. For each deal we store the asset, amount, price, deposit address, timestamps, and status — so escrow can be tracked and disputes adjudicated.
• Balance records. Your credited balance, frozen amount, and fee-invoice status.
• Operational logs. Minimal server logs (requests, errors) exist only to keep the service running and are not linked to any identity.

3. What we never collect

• Your name, date of birth, or government ID
• Your email address or phone number
• IP-address-to-identity records, advertising IDs, or marketing profiles
• Contacts, location history, or device fingerprints for tracking
• Your private keys or seed phrases — never. The desk never asks for them, and you should never share them with anyone.

4. What we do with your data

The data listed in section 2 exists for exactly three purposes: (1) operating the escrow for your deal, (2) showing you your balance and trade status, and (3) complying with lawful requests where legally unavoidable. We do not sell, rent, trade, share, or monetize your data. There are no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts on this site.

5. Where your data lives

The service runs as a local, self-hosted deployment. All records — trades, balances, invoices, configuration — are plain files in the deployment's own data directory (data/). They are not sent to any cloud service, analytics provider, or third party. Whoever operates the server holds this data; the operator's retention and deletion practices govern it.

6. Blockchain reality — please read

This site collects almost nothing, but blockchains themselves are public ledgers. Any transaction you make — sending coins to a deposit address, paying a fee invoice, moving funds on-chain — is permanently visible on the public blockchain, with your addresses attached, and cannot be deleted or edited by anyone. Arcane cannot anonymize on-chain history. If anonymity on-chain matters to your situation, use appropriate wallet hygiene; that part is outside this website's control.

7. Cookies & local storage

The site sets no tracking cookies and runs no analytics. Your access key is stored in your own browser (localStorage, key arcane.accessKey) so a page refresh keeps you logged in. Clear site storage or log out to remove it from that device.

8. Security

The service runs locally and stores records as plain files protected by your machine's own security. Never share your Arcane access key, and verify every deposit and withdrawal address before sending funds. If you report a security issue, it will be fixed and credited.

9. Your choices

If you want your anonymous account record and trade history removed from the operator's local records, contact the operator with your account ID. On-chain transaction data cannot be removed.

10. Changes

If this policy changes materially, the updated date at the top will change. The version that applies to a given deal is the one posted when the deal starts.
