The Anonymous Deposit Wallet

Give a consumer every deposit back — without storing who they are.

The problem to solve

The obvious way to give every container a digital deposit — a serialised code and an app tied to an account — links a named person to their containers, their purchases and where they live. That person-to-container-to-place profile is exactly the privacy cost a national scheme should not have to impose just to give people their money back. And a central wallet database is a national honeypot: one breach exposes millions of people's return histories.

The solution it enables

A wallet built with Polymonial is a running total of a consumer's deposits, with no name, email, card or account attached. It accrues on each verified return and cashes out at any time. A breach of the wallet store finds no name, email, card or account. Privacy is built into what the wallet stores, not a policy promise bolted on afterwards.

What it looks like

A shopper returns eight containers and their wallet shows £1.60 — with no personal details stored against it. They cash out, and the balance goes to zero.

“The wallet holds a balance, not your identity.”
