Data-minimal from order to deletion

Buying gold discreetly

No bank details, no customer account, no data profile. Pay with cryptocurrency and you leave no trace with a bank, a card issuer or a credit agency. We store no IP addresses, keep no access logs, and delete your delivery address and purchase details automatically three months after the order is complete — or immediately, whenever you ask.

That is the difference from any purchase made by bank transfer or card: there, a record is created at every step — at the bank, at the payment provider, often at a scoring agency. With an on-chain payment that chain does not exist.

Retention periods

When each kind of data is deleted

We are open about what sits here and for how long. We never store your IP address, and delivery address and purchase details are deleted automatically three months after completion — no request needed. On request we delete everything, immediately, that is not legally required to be kept: one email is enough, no reason needed.

The difference

Crypto, bank transfer or card?

Every payment route leaves a different data trail. This comparison shows who is reading along on each one.

Our commitment

Data minimisation in numbers

No customer account, no bank, no credit check, no tracking. We collect the absolute minimum, pass on nothing, and delete early.

under €2,000

No identification, no copy of your ID, no video identification. Just a delivery address and an email.

3 months

After that, delivery address, phone number and purchase details are deleted automatically — or immediately, on request.

0 logs

No IP addresses, no analytics, no advertising pixels, no fingerprinting.

In transit

The parcel gives nothing away either

Neutral packaging

No company name, nothing mentioning precious metals, no declared value. From the outside, an ordinary parcel.

A neutral sender

The sender line carries a neutral name — neighbours and couriers draw no conclusions.

Delivery to a Packstation

If you would rather not give a home address, have it delivered to a DHL Packstation — insured and free of charge.

No customer account

Order as a guest, with no registration and no password. No lasting profile is created.

Common questions about privacy

Yes. When you pay with cryptocurrency, no bank details, no card number and no IBAN change hands. You need no customer account, no registration and no credit check. We collect only the data legally required for the invoice and for insured delivery.
