// ENCRYPTED CORRESPONDENCE — PGP / AGE
$ gpg --recv-keys xmrhost-ops
For sensitive correspondence (legal threats, source-protection, abuse reports involving identifiable parties), the operator's OpenPGP public key is published via WKD discovery + at the path below. Encrypt the message body with the published key, paste the ASCII-armored ciphertext into the form above as the body, and the operator decrypts on receipt. age (filippo.io/age) is also accepted for technical exchanges.

<fingerprint pending operator publication> // WHAT WE DO NOT PROCESS — OPERATOR POSTURE
$ grep -v processed /etc/xmrhost/policy
- No KYC, ever. Signup never asks for a real name, government ID, address, phone number. The operator does not collect, store, or share any identity-verification data. The minimum identifier is an email address (any provider, any pseudonym) — used only for receipts and password-reset.
- No DMCA-format takedowns. Iceland Höfundalög nr. 73/1972 and Romania Legea nr. 8/1996 do not provide a private notice-and-takedown mechanism equivalent to the US 17 U.S.C. §512. The operator does not run a DMCA-process desk; takedown notices sent in DMCA format receive no action and no acknowledgement.
- No informal data-disclosure requests. Law enforcement, civil litigants, private investigators, brand monitoring services, "trust & safety" outfits — none of their informal inquiries get answered. The operator processes court-issued orders from a tribunal of competent jurisdiction ONLY, and only after counsel review. There is no voluntary- disclosure shortcut.
- No abuse-report intake. The operator does not accept third-party reports of tenant content, tenant network traffic, or alleged tenant misbehaviour. The AUP (/legal/aup) defines what tenants may run; enforcement against a tenant is operator-discretion based on the operator's own observations, not on third-party notices.
- No live chat widget. Third-party chat embeds fingerprint visitors and route conversations through a vendor whose subpoena posture is unknown.
- No phone line. Voice channels create call records on the carrier side that outlive the conversation.
- No third-party captcha. hCaptcha / reCAPTCHA / Cloudflare Turnstile fingerprint every visitor — that contradicts the brand stance. Bot floods are handled server-side via honeypot + rate limit + (production) fail2ban.
- No public address listing. The operator's inboxes are deliberately not on the visible page. The form above routes the message to the right channel internally.
