Understanding Bitcoin Privacy

• How are Bitcoin transactions private?

  Bitcoin transactions are pseudonymous by design. While all transactions are recorded on the public blockchain, they only show Bitcoin addresses, not personal information. No names, emails, or identity data are attached to transactions.

  When you use Orbit, your Bitcoin addresses are generated locally on your device and aren't linked to your personal identity. This means your transaction history remains private and anonymous, maintaining the core privacy principles of Bitcoin.

• What data does Orbit collect?

  Orbit collects zero personal data. We don't require email addresses, phone numbers, names, or any form of identity verification. We don't track your app usage, location, or transaction patterns. We don't store analytics or user behavior data.

  All wallet information, including your private keys, addresses, and transaction history, is stored locally on your device. Orbit operates on a privacy-first principle where your financial information remains completely confidential.

• How does multi-wallet support enhance privacy?

  Orbit allows you to create unlimited Bitcoin wallets, each with unique private keys, or multiple addresses under a single key. This feature helps you compartmentalize your Bitcoin holdings and transactions, making it harder for observers to link all your activity together.

  You can use different wallets for different purposes - one for savings, one for daily spending, one for receiving payments - keeping your financial activities separate and more private. Each wallet operates independently with its own set of addresses and keys.

• What are the benefits of different address types?

  Orbit supports Legacy, SegWit, and Taproot address formats, each offering different privacy and efficiency benefits. Taproot addresses provide enhanced privacy by making complex transactions look like simple ones, making it harder to determine transaction types from blockchain analysis.

  SegWit addresses offer lower transaction fees and improved efficiency, while Legacy addresses provide maximum compatibility. Using different address types across your wallets adds another layer of privacy and makes transaction pattern analysis more difficult.

Privacy Frequently Asked Questions

• Can anyone see my Bitcoin balance?

  While Bitcoin addresses and their balances are visible on the public blockchain, they are not directly linked to your personal identity. Your Bitcoin addresses in Orbit are generated anonymously on your device without any connection to personal information.

  Unless you voluntarily share your Bitcoin addresses or someone can link them to your identity through other means, your Bitcoin balance remains private. Using multiple wallets and addresses further enhances this privacy.

• How does self-custody protect my privacy?

  With self-custody wallets like Orbit, you hold your own private keys and control your funds directly. This means no third party - not exchanges, banks, or wallet providers - can see your balance, track your transactions, or link your activity to your personal identity.

  Unlike custodial services that require identity verification and monitor all transactions, self-custody eliminates the middleman and any potential privacy compromises that come with third-party custody.

• What happens to my privacy when buying/selling Bitcoin?

  When you buy or sell Bitcoin through Orbit's integrated services, you interact with third-party payment providers that may require identity verification for regulatory compliance. However, Orbit itself doesn't store or access this information.

  Once Bitcoin is in your Orbit wallet, it returns to the private, self-custodial environment where Orbit has no visibility into your holdings or transaction activity. You can enhance privacy by transferring Bitcoin to new addresses after purchase.

• Can Orbit access my wallet or transaction history?

  No, Orbit cannot access your wallet, private keys, or transaction history. All wallet data is generated and stored locally on your device. Orbit operates as a client-side application that interacts with the Bitcoin network on your behalf, but never has access to your private information.

  This non-custodial design ensures that only you can access your funds and only you can see your complete transaction history. Even Orbit's developers cannot view or access your wallet information.

• How do I maximize my Bitcoin privacy with Orbit?

  To maximize privacy: create multiple wallets for different purposes, use new addresses for each transaction, consider using Taproot addresses for enhanced privacy, and avoid reusing addresses. Don't share your Bitcoin addresses publicly or link them to your identity.

  Additionally, be mindful of transaction patterns and timing, use different wallets for different activities, and remember that while Bitcoin is pseudonymous, careful operational security practices will help maintain your financial privacy.
