What has been changed
  • Roger and the support agent's access to this information has been revoked.
  • Bitcoin addresses stored for notification purposes have been deleted. Addresses are now stored as a SHA 256 hash of the address, which removes the ability to lookup a wallet by bitcoin address.
  • The secret phrase is now no longer shown to any admins

What other information could be used to identify a wallet
We store the ip address a wallet was created with and the ip address a wallet was last updated with.

Would you consider hashing the IP addresses for privacy? With a secret key, you could easily verify previous access as the creating IP address or the most recent address but could shield privacy further. This was a shock to many people that you save this kind of information when previously it was said that no tracking information was kept.
