Privacy Policy
Bitcoiners care about privacy, so here is the plain-English version of what this site collects and what happens to it.
Last updated: November 5, 2026
No tracking, no ads
Only privacy-friendly GoatCounter visitor stats (no cookies, no personal data). No advertising pixels, no third-party tracking cookies.
Only what you hand over
An email for Whale Alerts or wallet-hack alerts, or your booking details for a call. Nothing collected quietly in the background.
Never sold or shared
Your details are never sold, rented, or handed to anyone outside the providers that run this site.
Deleted on request
One-click unsubscribe on every alert email, and an email away from full deletion.
What I collect, and why
I only collect information you type into a form on this site. There are four of them:
Whale Alerts
When you subscribe on the Whale Alerts page I store your email address, the dollar threshold you picked, and the date you subscribed. That is the whole record, and it exists so I can send you the alerts you asked for.
Wallet-hack alerts
When you sign up on the Is My Wallet Safe? page I store your email address and the date you subscribed. That is the whole record. Until October 22, 2026, the same list was also offered at the end of the bitcoin inheritance guide; if you signed up there, I also noted that you signed up from that guide. The wallet checker questions themselves are answered in your browser and are never sent or stored.
Newsletter (Bitcoin Inheritance Kit)
When you ask for the free Bitcoin Inheritance Kit I store your email address, the date you signed up, and that you signed up for the kit. That puts you on the An Honest Node newsletter.
Booking a call
When you book a call on the Book A Call page I store your name, email address, phone number, and the date and time slot you chose, along with whether the booking has been paid. I need your phone number because the call is a phone call, and your email so I can send confirmations.
Like any website, the hosting platform also records standard server request data (including IP addresses) in its logs for security and reliability. I do not use that data to build any profile of you.
What I don’t collect
Apart from privacy-friendly GoatCounter visitor stats (no cookies, no personal data), there are no analytics tools, advertising networks, session recorders, or third-party tracking cookies on this site. I do not know who you are when you browse it. The one exception is the embedded X posts in some news articles, which load from X as described under “Who processes this data” below.
The Whole Coin tool is worth calling out specifically: the amount of Bitcoin you enter is calculated and drawn in your own browser. It is never sent to me or to anyone else, and it is never stored.
I never see your card details. Payments are handled entirely on Stripe’s own checkout pages, and Stripe only tells me whether a booking was paid.
Payments
Call payments are processed by Stripe. When you continue to payment you are handed off to Stripe, who collect and process your payment information under their own privacy policy. All I receive back is a confirmation that the payment for your booking succeeded, plus a reference so I can match it to the right slot.
Who processes this data
I keep the provider list as short as I reasonably can. Each one only receives what it needs to do its job:
- Netlify — hosting, the database that holds bookings, and the storage that holds alert subscriptions.
- Stripe — payment processing for calls.
- Resend — delivery of the confirmation and alert emails I send you.
- CoinGecko — the price data shown on the prices page.
- YouTube — the cartoon episodes embedded on the home page and the episode pages, and the videos embedded in the Inheritance Kit, all loaded in privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) mode. Playing a video loads it from YouTube.
- X (formerly Twitter) — a few news articles embed public X posts using X’s official embed code (with do-not-track turned on). When you scroll to one, your browser loads it from X, which can receive the page address, your IP address, browser details and any X cookies you already have, under X’s own policy. If the embed is blocked, you see a plain text quote and a link instead.
I do not sell, rent, or trade your information, and I do not share it with anyone beyond the providers above.
The emails I send
If you subscribe to Whale Alerts you get a welcome email and then alerts when a transaction crosses your threshold. If you book a call you get a booking confirmation and a payment confirmation. You only get the newsletter if you asked for the Bitcoin Inheritance Kit (below). No partner offers on any list.
If you sign up for wallet-hack alerts, you are only emailed about reported hardware wallet or seed-generation security problems. If you signed up from the bitcoin inheritance guide, you may also get one email if the inheritance kit mentioned there becomes available. Nothing has been sent to that list yet.
If you ask for the Bitcoin Inheritance Kit, you get one email with the link to your kit, then occasional newsletter emails about self-custody, security and new guides on this site. No partner offers, and your address is never sold or shared.
Booking emails are sent only because you booked a call; they are not a mailing list.
How long it’s kept
Alert and newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe, at which point the record is deleted outright rather than flagged as inactive. Booking records are kept as long as I need them for scheduling and payment records, and are deleted on request.
Your choices
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and one click removes your email from that list (Whale Alerts, wallet-hack alerts or the newsletter) immediately. To be removed from every list at once, email me at the address below.
For anything else — a copy of what I hold about you, a correction, or full deletion including booking records — email bookings@anhonestnode.com and I will take care of it. You can also just reply to any email you have received from me.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information here, email me and I will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes I will update the date at the top of this page, so this page is the place to check.
