What the documents mean for you
AnonExch refuses to run identity checks or AML screening at any amount, and holds no funds it could freeze. A swap that fails is refunded automatically minus the network fee. Swap records are deleted 24 hours after completion, support emails after 90 days.
The terms state outright that there is no identity-verification programme and that one will never be introduced, listing every document and detail the service will not ask for, at any amount and at any stage including refunds and API use. Section 2 is explicitly excluded from the clause allowing the terms to be changed, and the service states it runs no AML screening, no chain-analysis scoring and no address blocklist.
Nothing triggers identity verification here: the terms say there is no KYC step, no AML questionnaire and no source-of-funds request at any amount or stage. A swap asks only for a destination address and an optional refund address, and merchant accounts ask only for an email and password with no business documents. Refunds are never conditioned on identity, documents or a source-of-funds explanation, and the service says it removes any routing partner that starts demanding identity documents.
Warnings
Writing to support is the one way to give them information they would not otherwise hold. They keep the thread and delete it 90 days after the last message.
They state that blockchains are public, that your own wallet habits such as address reuse can identify you, and that any website you visit sees your IP. They suggest Tor or a VPN if that matters to you.
Independent exchange providers handle the actual swap, and each has its own terms. AnonExch states all of them are no-KYC and that any provider demanding documents is dropped, but the provider leg is still outside its control.
If you did not set a refund address, the automatic return cannot happen and they send it by hand after you email support with your swap link and an address on the deposit's network.

Passed repeated checks over time and showed consistent behavior.
Personal info is not verifiedprivacy +9
The service does not check personal information: temporary emails, disposable phone numbers or a made-up name and address work.
The service states it does not check anything you enter against a name, registry or watchlist, and that a merchant email is never verified against a real person.
“We also do not verify the information you do give us. A destination address is an address; a refund address is an address. Nothing you enter is checked against a name, a registry, or a watchlist, because we hold no identity to check it against.”
Terms, anonexch.io

Swapping needs no account, no sign-up and no password; only a destination address and an optional refund address.
“Swapping on AnonExch requires no account and no registration. A swap needs one thing from you: the destination address the funds should arrive at, plus an optional refund address we strongly recommend you set. There is no sign-up form, no password, no email confirmation, and no profile.”
Terms, anonexch.io
Aggregator provides guaranteestrust +4
If you do not receive your funds or encounter any issues, the aggregator service may reimburse you up to a specified guarantee, subject to the aggregator's terms. This may not apply to all of the aggregator's partners.
Split-trust architectureprivacy +3 · trust +1
Two independent providers share the work so that no single party can de-anonymise a user.
Non-custodial protocoltrust +3
The protocol never takes custody of the user's funds during an exchange.
Funds move from your wallet to the exchange provider and then to your address; the service states no balance exists in an AnonExch wallet.
“AnonExch never holds your funds. Your deposit goes from your wallet to the exchange provider handling the swap, and the output goes from that provider to the address you specified. At no point does a balance exist in an AnonExch wallet with your name — or your session — attached to it.”

Refunds without KYC on AML flagtrust +1
If a deposit is flagged by the AML system, the service returns the funds without demanding identity verification.
Token-based loginprivacy +1
Access is through a secret token rather than a username and personal details.
Each swap is accessed through its own unguessable link, which the terms call the only credential; API access uses a secret key instead of an identity.
“Each swap is reachable through its own unguessable link. That link is the only credential involved — keep it private, and treat it the way you would treat a receipt you do not want read.”

What the documents say
If a swap cannot complete, they send your deposit back to your refund address automatically and take the on-chain network fee out of it.
“If a swap cannot complete, your deposit is returned automatically to the refund address you provided, less the on-chain network fee required to send it.”
Terms, anonexch.io
They delete the swap record 24 hours after the swap finishes, and within 7 days if it never settles. Support email threads are kept for 90 days after the last message.
“Deleted automatically 24 hours after the swap reaches its final state. An order that never settles at all is deleted within 7 days regardless.”
Terms, anonexch.io
They say they store only the pair, amount and addresses for a swap, and do not log IP addresses against swaps.
“We store only what processing a swap requires: the pair, the amount, and the addresses involved. IP addresses are not logged against swaps. Once a swap finalizes, its data is purged.”
Privacy policy, anonexch.io
They state they will never pass on an identity request from an exchange provider or anyone else, and will not act as a middleman for a verification process.
“We will never forward an identity request to you, from a provider or anyone else. You will not be asked for documents by AnonExch on a provider's behalf, and we will not act as an intermediary for any verification process.”
Terms, anonexch.io
The site loads no third-party analytics, ad pixels or external CDNs; every asset and API request comes from their own servers.
“The site carries no third-party scripts, no advertising or tracking pixels, no external CDNs, and no fingerprinting. Every asset and API request is served from our own origin.”
Terms, anonexch.io
In the default Private mode they route the swap so no single exchange party sees both the sending and receiving side, breaking the on-chain link between the two.
“The default Private mode goes further than a direct trade: the swap is routed so that no single exchange party ever sees both the sending side and the receiving side.”
Privacy policy, anonexch.io
They may refuse automated traffic that degrades the service, such as floods of API requests. They state this applies to traffic, not to funds already moving.
“We may decline to serve automated traffic that is degrading the service for others, such as request floods against the API; that is an infrastructure measure applied to traffic, and it never touches funds already in flight.”
