Thanks. What's the purpose of the tracking then - what benefits could they get from doing this?

Well the blockchain stores the sending addresses and receiving addresses for each transaction. The company would be able to do some deanonymisation techniques (potentially) which could do things like link your bitcoin wallet to your ip/name if it's in an email signed up with. It's more of a thing thatd just seem a bit weird and if you wanted to stop that, you could just send the funds to a trusted exchange instead.

OK, I created a second account, they wanted a deposit.

Thanks mate.
