NAKSwap is run by NAK (New Age Kapital), a nonprofit organization. It has no sign-ups, no accounts and no profiles, and it doesn’t use analytics or advertising trackers. To carry out a swap, though, some information has to be handled by NAKSwap and by the services it relies on. This page lists all of it.
At a glance
| Information | Who handles it | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your ICP principal (where NAK goes, or where refunds go) | NAKSwap canisters; the public ICP and NAK ledgers | To pay you or refund you | Kept in the canister’s order records. Transfers to it are public on the ledger forever. |
| The address you send from, and your refund address on another chain | Houdiniswap; the public blockchain of that token | To receive your token and return it if its step fails | Under Houdiniswap’s policy. On-chain transfers are public. |
| The address you want your token sent to (selling) | NAKSwap sell router (readable only by NAK’s operators); Houdiniswap | To deliver your token | Kept in the sell router’s order record. |
| Amounts, times, status, ledger block numbers | NAKSwap canisters; public ledgers | To run and show your order | Kept in order records; ledger entries are permanent. |
| The link between your order and its Houdiniswap order | NAKSwap canisters and relay | To track and support the Houdiniswap step | Buying: deleted 30 days after the order finishes. Selling: kept in the order record. |
| IP address, browser type, time zone | Houdiniswap (sent with each quote, order and status check); Cloudflare; our hosting provider | Houdiniswap requires them under its anti-money-laundering rules; the others to deliver and protect the site | NAKSwap keeps your IP only in memory for rate limits (minutes to hours). Houdiniswap, Cloudflare and our hosting provider keep their own logs under their policies. |
| Human check | Cloudflare Turnstile | To stop bots creating orders | Under Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy terms |
| Things saved in your browser | Only your device | Convenience: your recent orders and choices | Until you clear them |
| Messages to support | NAK, on Telegram | To help you | As long as the chat exists; Telegram’s policy applies |
Wallet addresses, principals and transaction data
- Public by design. Every transfer on the Internet Computer’s ICP, NAK and ckUSDC ledgers, and on other blockchains, is public and permanent. Anyone can see that a NAKSwap deposit address received funds and that NAK (or a refund) was sent to your principal. NAKSwap can’t make these private or delete them.
- Order records in the canisters. For each order the NAKSwap canisters store the principals you gave (recipient and refund), amounts, status, times, ledger block numbers and, for sales, the token and destination address you chose. Canister data is not publicly listable: order details are readable only by NAK’s operators and the order’s own tracking link.
- No order numbers on chain. Transfers made by NAKSwap carry no order number, and each deposit address is derived from a secret, so outsiders can’t list them or match them to order numbers in advance. Once used, a deposit address’s activity is visible on the ledger like any other.
- Private route. Houdiniswap’s private route splits its step into separate swaps so your sending wallet isn’t linked on-chain to the ICP that reaches NAKSwap.
IP addresses and analytics
- No analytics, no trackers, no ads. NAKSwap’s pages load no analytics or advertising scripts, set no cookies of their own, and serve their fonts themselves, so no font provider sees your visit.
- Houdiniswap receives your IP address, browser type and time zone with each request NAKSwap makes for you (token lists, quotes, creating an exchange, checking its status), because its rules require it. Token icons on the buy and sell pages load directly from Houdiniswap’s servers, which also see your IP address when they load (we send no referrer).
- Cloudflare sits in front of the site (DNS, HTTPS, protection) and runs the Turnstile check before an order is created. It processes your IP address and request data under its own policies, including the Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
- Our hosting provider runs NAKSwap’s server and keeps standard request logs, which can include IP addresses, for its own retention period.
- NAKSwap’s server holds your IP address in memory only, for rate limits and to pass to Houdiniswap for your open order, and doesn’t write it to its logs. Its logs hold times, order numbers and errors, with addresses and keys masked.
What’s saved in your browser
To save you retyping, the pages keep a few things in your browser’s local storage. They stay on your device and are never sent to NAKSwap except when you use them: your recent order codes and their tracking details, when each step of an order was first seen, the last principal and token you used, your route choice, and the larger-text setting. Clear your browser’s site data to remove them. The buy page’s list of recent orders also has a “Forget on this device” link.

| Hosting provider | Request logs, including IP | Under its own policy; ask us on Telegram if you need the name |
| Internet Computer (DFINITY and node providers) | Public ledger transfers; NAKSwap’s requests to the network | internetcomputer.org |

NAK doesn’t sell personal information and doesn’t share it except as described here, or when the law requires it.
Your choices and requests
- You can use a fresh principal or wallet for each swap, and Houdiniswap’s private route, to limit what can be linked on-chain.
- To ask what NAK holds about an order, or to ask for it to be deleted where that’s possible, message @NAKSTOKEN on Telegram with the order code. Public ledger entries can’t be deleted by anyone, and records a canister needs to settle or refund an order are kept until it’s settled.
- NAKSwap is not meant for anyone under 18.
