TechFlow News — Phantom, the cryptocurrency wallet, announced on Twitter that it conducted an audit on December 2 regarding its handling of user IP addresses, in response to recent community concerns about privacy. The audit results showed that neither the Phantom wallet nor its RPC partners can identify users' IP addresses. Phantom stated that references to IP addresses in its current privacy policy are primarily intended to explain how it uses site analytics to track behavior on the Phantom website. The company is swiftly updating its privacy policy to clearly distinguish between its website and wallet.
Phantom said it has consistently used privacy proxies to strip IP addresses from RPC requests. Its RPC partners have never been able to identify users, and Phantom's roadmap includes adding support for custom RPCs. Furthermore, Phantom cannot identify specific users or link IP addresses to wallet addresses. It tracks users in a fully anonymous manner, and users have the option to opt out.Original link
