Client Confidentiality Policy

Your Privacy is Our Priority

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At The Bitcoin Way, we take your privacy seriously—it's at the forefront of what we do. Being deeply rooted in the Bitcoin and cybersecurity industry, we're fully aware of the importance of strong privacy and confidentiality measures. Our goal is to keep your personal and sensitive information secure and make sure you're confident in how we handle it. Here's how we work to ensure your privacy:

Your Initial Interaction: From the moment you decide to schedule an appointment with us, we respect your choice to remain anonymous. We don't require any personal details upfront. You are free to use a pseudonym or fake name, and if you're concerned about email privacy, a non-descriptive email address is perfectly acceptable.

During the Appointment: Our primary mode of interaction during appointments is via video calls. When we utilize the screen-sharing feature, you are always in control of what's being displayed. If there's a moment when you need to view or present sensitive information, we'll immediately pause the screen-sharing session. It will only be resumed once you confirm that your sensitive details are secure. We commit to never asking you to display or share sensitive data during our sessions.

Software and Hardware Recommendations: Our role is to guide and advise. While we may recommend specific software or hardware based on our expertise, the choice always remains with you. We will never impose or force you to adopt one solution over another. Your comfort and trust are vital to us.

No access to private keys

At The Bitcoin Way, we prioritize not just your privacy, but also the security of your assets. We have adopted stringent measures to ensure that you retain absolute control over your Bitcoin assets. Here's how:

NO ACCESS TO PRIVATE KEYS: We strictly adhere to a policy of not asking for, nor attempting to access, our clients' private keys. This is a fundamental aspect of our commitment to your privacy and security.

CLIENT CONTROL OVER PRIVATE KEYS: Your private keys are securely stored on your hardware wallet, a method of storage that we believe provides the highest level of security. We ensure that you, and only you, have access to your private keys. This means your Bitcoin assets remain entirely under your control and are inaccessible to anyone else.

GUIDANCE AND EDUCATION: While we don't handle your private keys, we do provide comprehensive guidance on their secure use. Our services include educating clients on best practices for managing and securing their private keys. We aim to empower you with the knowledge and tools to securely handle your Bitcoin assets.

SECURITY-FIRST APPROACH: Our commitment to security extends beyond private key management. We provide our clients with holistic security strategies for their Bitcoin assets, focusing on secure storage, transaction processes, and operational best practices.

Encrypted data storage

Uncompromising Approach to Data Privacy and Security

At The Bitcoin Way, we are acutely aware of the importance of maintaining the privacy and security of your personal data. We adhere to stringent measures to ensure the safeguarding of all client data. Here's our approach:

ENCRYPTED STORAGE: All client data, encompassing personal information, confidential documents, transaction records, and other relevant data, is stored in encrypted folders. We employ advanced encryption algorithms to ensure the highest level of security for your data, making it virtually unreadable to unauthorized individuals.

MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA): Access to the encrypted folders is secured with multi-factor authentication. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification to access the data, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

SECURE DATA TRANSMISSION: We ensure that any transmission of your data, whether for backup purposes or during the course of providing our services, is also carried out through secure, encrypted channels.

REGULAR SECURITY UPDATES AND PATCHING: To protect against potential vulnerabilities, our systems and security measures are regularly updated and patched. This enables us to stay ahead of emerging threats and keep your data secure.

DATA BREACH RESPONSE PLAN: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive response plan in place. This plan includes swift action to secure the data, identify the cause of the breach, notify affected parties as required by law, and implement measures to prevent future breaches.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN: Our systems and processes are designed with privacy at their core. We adhere to the principles of data minimization and limited data retention, storing only necessary data and only for as long as it is needed.
