Interested in purchasing a degoogled phone, degoogled tablet, or Linux laptop anonymously? At Digital Privacy Shop, you can purchase our products anonymously using cryptocurrency. Monero is a great choice if you don't want the purchase to be traced back to you.

Purchasing anything anonymously online can be a challenge. Consider the information that can be tied to your real identity:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Mailing address
  • IP Address
  • Phone number
  • Credit card information

How to Buy Mobile Phones Anonymously

The steps below explain how to purchase a degoogled privacy phone, tablet, or any of our products and remain completely anonymous. Keeping your personally identifiable information (PII) private is the key. This is also known as a "No-KYC" purchase. Following the steps below will keep your identity private, even from us.

Step 1 - Use a VPN service to protect your real IP address

As you probably know already, any time you access the internet an identifier called an IP address is assigned to your local network or computer. Websites and other internet services record your IP address when you visit their sites. By using a VPN service, your real IP address is hidden from websites you visit. Instead they will see the IP address of the VPN service. We recommend using a VPN service from a provider that is serious about protecting their customers such as Mullvad, iVPN, or ProtonVPN.

Step 2 - Register an account on our website

We require registration as a way of fighting spam and fraudulent purchases. But primarily it's so we can provide the best service to our customers. With an account, you have access to track your orders, see order history, submit product returns, and much more. If you'd prefer not to use your real identity, that's not a problem. Here's how...

  1. Use a pseudonym as your name; Be careful! You may be asked to show ID or sign for a package delivery
  2. Enter an email alias as your email address; Create an email alias through your email service provider or use a service like Addy.io 
  3. Don't want to provide a telephone number? No problem... It's optional

Step 3 - Add products to your cart, then proceed to checkout

Now that you are signed in to your account, select the privacy-friendly products you want to purchase and begin the checkout process.

  • Mailing address: The most common way to keep your physical address private is to use a post office box, mail box service like UPS Store, or a mail forwarding service. The US Postal Service also offers a service called General Delivery.
  • Pay with cryptocurrency: Select NOWPayments as the payment type and choose from over 40 different cryptocurrencies. For ultimate privacy, we recommend payment in Monero. Follow the payment instructions on the NOWPayments payment portal to complete your purchase.

Step 4 - Sit back, relax, and wait for your order to arrive

We ship orders via US Postal Service in nondescript packaging. For international orders, we are required to declare the contents of the package on the US Customs form. However, we use generic descriptions and there is no reference to "degoogling" or "privacy".

Your Personal Data is Kept Private

Any personal information you do decide to share with us in your account or during purchase is kept completely private. We do not sell or share your data with anyone.
