COLDCARD Suspends Customer Data Deletion Process Due to Legal Preservation Obligations Triggered by Security Incident

TechFlow News, August 07, according to COLDCARD's official tweet, Coinkite's hardware wallet brand COLDCARD announced that, due to legal preservation requirements arising from litigation triggered by a security incident disclosed on July 30, 2026, it has temporarily suspended its original automatic customer data deletion mechanism.

According to previous practice, COLDCARD would automatically delete customer records 120 days after order delivery, retaining only email addresses and country information. However, constrained by legal obligations, this process is now suspended; affected data will be securely stored, access is limited to authorized personnel only, and it shall not be used for any purpose other than compliance.
