PaymentsAmount, counterparty, memo, time and status of what you send and receive, to move Goldstix between accounts, show your activity, and keep ledger and settlement records.

We keep account and payment records while your account exists and for as long as financial recordkeeping rules require. To ask for a copy of your information, a correction, or deletion of your account, email ryan@goldstix.com.
