This Privacy Policy explains how AppleBitcoin handles your personal data. Paying in cryptocurrency is privacy-first by design — we ask for the minimum we need to fulfil your order.
1. What we collect
To process an order we collect your shipping address, an email address for your receipt and order updates, and the details of your order. We do not ask for or store bank or card details, and no account or ID verification is required to shop.
2. How we use your data
We use your information solely to process and deliver your order, provide support, handle returns and warranty claims, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data.
3. Cryptocurrency & on-chain data
Cryptocurrency payments are processed on public blockchains. Transaction details (such as amounts and wallet addresses) are inherently public on-chain. We use this only to confirm your payment and settle your order; we don’t link wallet activity to you beyond what’s necessary to complete the purchase.
4. Cookies & analytics
We use essential cookies to keep the Site working (for example, your cart and display-currency preference, stored locally in your browser). We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand and improve how the Site is used.
5. Sharing
We share data only with the partners needed to fulfil your order — for example, shipping carriers and our crypto payment processor — and only the data they need. We may disclose information where required by law.
6. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data. Checkout is non-custodial: your payment settles directly on-chain and we never hold your funds.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us.
8. Data retention
We keep order records only as long as necessary to provide support, honour warranties and returns, and meet legal and accounting requirements.
9. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time and will post the current version on this page.
