This Privacy Policy outlines how SimpleSwap collects, uses, processes, and safeguards your personal data in compliance with international standards like GDPR and other applicable regulations. By using SimpleSwap services, you consent to these practices.

What SimpleSwap Privacy Is

SimpleSwap is the data controller for personal data processed under this Privacy Policy. We operate as a user-friendly crypto exchange supporting over 1,500 cryptocurrencies, including BTC to ETH swaps, with no KYC for most transactions. Our mission is to provide fast, secure, and anonymous exchanges while respecting your privacy rights.

Information SimpleSwap Collect

SimpleSwap collects minimal data to facilitate your crypto swaps and improve our platform:

  • Personal Data: Email address (if you opt-in for newsletters or support), IP address, device information, and transaction details (e.g., wallet addresses for swaps).
  • Non-Personal Data: Usage analytics, browser type, and referral sources to optimize SimpleSwap's performance.
  • No Sensitive Data: We do not request or store financial details, passwords, or private keys. For fiat-to-crypto exchanges via partners like Mercuryo, third-party policies apply.

We only collect data necessary for service delivery, ensuring SimpleSwap remains a privacy-focused exchange.

  • Process and confirm crypto swaps efficiently.

SimpleSwap io never sell your data—SimpleSwap is committed to transparency and user trust.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

  • Service Providers: Trusted partners for analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) and fiat gateways, bound by strict confidentiality.
