1. Privacy-First Architecture & Zero-KYC Standard
LetsEscrow ("we", "our", or "the Platform", Android Package: org.letsescrow.app) is designed from the ground up as a privacy-centric peer-to-peer financial escrow network. We believe that everyday peer trades should not require intrusive personal disclosure.
• Standard Anonymous Trading (Level 0): Up to $1,000 USD cumulative 30-day volume requires zero government ID, zero biometric scans, and zero residential documentation.
• Voluntary Tier Upgrades: Users voluntarily choose whether to complete Level 1 (Phone), Level 2 (Social & Address), Level 3 (Govt ID), or Level 4 (Video KYC) to unlock higher trading allowances.
• Hardware AES-256 Encryption & Non-Disclosure: All verification documents, selfie photos, and video recordings are stored in private AES-256 encrypted object storage. We NEVER sell, rent, or disclose your identity or documents to third-party data brokers, marketers, commercial advertisers, or external entities.
2. Information We Process & How It Is Protected
We collect and process only the minimal information necessary to deliver secure escrow services:
- Account Credentials: Email address and cryptographically salted password hashes (Bcrypt/Argon2). Passwords are never stored in plaintext.
- Wallet Addresses: Public blockchain addresses (USDT BEP-20, USDT TRC-20, Bitcoin) for hot-wallet balance accounting and on-chain payout delivery.
- Trade Chat Transcripts: Encrypted in-trade messages, payment receipts, and delivery proofs preserved for trade audit and moderator dispute resolution.
- Gift Card Perceptual Hashing: Gift card codes and image attachments are converted into irreversible cryptographic hashes to detect duplicates without leaking sensitive PINs.
3. Web Push, FCM & Telegram Notification Privacy
Users can opt into instant notifications across multiple delivery channels:
- Web Push & Mobile FCM: Cryptographic subscription endpoints are used solely to deliver real-time trade alerts (e.g. buyer marked paid, funds released, chat message). No background telemetry or device tracking is performed.
- Telegram Bot Alerts: Connecting your Telegram account securely links your Telegram Chat ID for automated trade alerts. Your phone number is not exposed.
- Transactional Email: Delivered via secure SMTP/Resend API for registration confirmations, release OTP codes, and password resets.
4. Affiliate & Referral Program Privacy
When users participate in the Affiliate Program, referral codes are matched upon signup. Referrers see only the masked username, joining date, rewarded trade count, and commission amounts earned from their affiliates. No personal identity records, payment details, or private chat transcripts of referred users are ever shared with the referrer.
5. App Permissions & Right to Account Deletion
In accordance with Google Play Store and Apple App Store privacy policies:
- Camera & Photo Storage: Accessed strictly when you take a photo of a physical receipt or select an image file to upload into the trade room.
- Permanent Account & Data Deletion: Users have the permanent right to request full account deletion. You can execute this at any time via the Account Deletion Portal or Settings. Personal dossiers, sessions, and credentials are permanently purged.
