Privacy
Private by design: we can’t leak what we never collect
Privacy at Numonym isn’t a setting. It’s the way the service is built: no identity, no email, no trackers — and control over everything we do have to keep.

How we protect you
Three layers of protection
Your identity, your data and your number each have their own safeguards.
An account without identity
A random 16-digit account number and a password, with passkeys and 2FA. No email, no phone number, no name.
How the account worksMinimal data, on a timer
Every data point we keep has a reason and an expiry date — and you set the one for your messages.
What we storeA number that stays yours
Grace period, reserved renewal window, quarantine and a SIM-swap lock that support can’t bypass.
Number continuity
Our commitments
Six things we will never do
Not policies that could change quietly: things the service is built without.
- Ask for documents. Not at sign-up, not after payment, not ever.
- Require an email. Not even to recover your account.
- Track you on this site. No analytics, no ads, no tracking cookies — the only cookie keeps you signed in.
- Log your IP address. Our web logs don’t contain it.
- Sell or share your data. No ads, no data brokers, no exceptions.
- Hand your number to someone else. Support can’t move a number — only you can.
Payments
How private is each way to pay?
Every coin we accept settles the bill the same way. They don’t all reveal the same thing.
| Method | What’s public | Privacy |
|---|---|---|
 Monero | Nothing readable: amounts and addresses are hidden by default | Highest |
 Bitcoin | The amount and the addresses, on a public ledger | Pseudonymous |
 Ethereum | The amount and the addresses, on a public ledger | Pseudonymous |
 Solana | The amount and the addresses, on a public ledger | Pseudonymous |
 USDT (TRC-20) | The amount and the addresses, on a public ledger — and the issuer can freeze tokens | Pseudonymous |
Paying straight from an exchange links the payment to your exchange account. Pay with Monero · Pay from an exchange
Honest limits
What no phone provider can hide
We’d rather tell you than let you find out. These limits apply to every phone number, whoever you rent it from.
SMS isn’t encrypted in transit
Carriers can read texts on the way. Use Signal or another encrypted app for sensitive conversations.
Carriers see the calls they carry
Who called whom and when passes through the phone network, as on any line.
Forwarding shares the message
Telegram, your email provider or your webhook can read what you forward to them.
Emergency calls aren’t guaranteed
Keep a regular phone line for emergencies.
Do you ever ask for identity documents?
No — not at sign-up, not after payment, not when you renew and not when you open a ticket. We have no procedure that requires them.
Is SMS private if I use your numbers?
Texts travel through the phone network in the clear, so carriers can read them on the way — on any provider. What we control is what happens after: how long we keep them, who they are forwarded to, and whether they are end-to-end encrypted in your history.
Which payment method is the most private?
Monero: amounts and addresses are hidden on-chain. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and USDT payments are recorded on public blockchains, and an exchange knows who withdrew the funds. Our guides explain how to pay without exposing more than you need.
What happens if authorities ask about my account?
We can only provide what exists: no names, no documents, no IP addresses in our web logs, and message history only if you chose to keep it. Each request is assessed individually and we never provide more than strictly required.
