I really like you website, but have a few question before I create a wallet account..
- I din't find any privacy policy. Can you please share a link?
- Somewhere in this thread I read, you have our private key.. is that true? Why not do something like blockchain.info, where they don't have access to your wallet at all.
- How do you store our personal information like email and IP? What if a gov agency ask you for any particular account? What information can you provide?
- If your website gets taken down tomorrow by XYZ agency, do we still have our wallet or it's gone with you? Can we export or move to other service or a desktop client?
- Do you support closing accounts? If yes, do you erase information from your systems?
Great questions, please see
https://inputs.io/faq#q1-4There's a few reasons 'why not do something like blockchain.info':
Blockchain.info does have access to your wallet. You get all of your information from Blockchain.info's central servers. They could do a lot of things, like make you sign outputs to their addresses, make up transactions that were never transmitted, and if you use their API they have your private key already. Not to mention they can include malicious JS.
Features like mixing require control of private keys as well as off chain transaction. It's possible to use Inputs.io in a way that limits your counterparty risk to just that we won't double spend.
We have redundancy plans (aka 'dead man's switch'), both automated and manual. This isn't just for seizes / etc, the hot pocket will dump all coins in secure storage if it detects an intrusion.
Send an email to
support@inputs.io if you'd like to clear our account, and we'll delete all info we have on you. It'll take longer for the data to be gone in backups.
