via any blockchain may be publicly accessible. This includes, but is not limited to, your public
sending address, the public address of the receiver, the amount sent or received, and any other
data a user has chosen to include in a given transaction. Information stored on a blockchain
may be public, immutable, and difficult or even impossible to remove or delete. Transactions
and addresses may reveal information about the user’s identity and information can potentially
be correlated now or in the future by any party who chooses to do so, including law
enforcement. Users are encouraged to review how privacy and transparency on the blockchain
works.
