**Velumhold asks for no data at all, while OrangeWebsite asks for an email and pays its crypto through two outside processors that may ask for KYC.** Its terms, section 13, say that BitPay and CoinPayments reserve the right to request it.

OrangeWebsite says on its offshore hosting page that customers can sign up without giving their identity, and its privacy policy says it does not release information to foreign authorities. Its order form, built on WHMCS, has name, address and phone fields, and the email used must not sit on the hosted domain.

At Velumhold the login is a random account number, the email is optional, and payments in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR go to Velumhold's own addresses with no processor in between.
