Address reuse
Address reuse is receiving multiple payments at the same transparent-chain address, which links all of them to one owner for any observer.
Modern wallets generate a fresh receive address each time. Reusing one makes clustering trivial and weakens the privacy of everything you later do with those coins.
On Swap.bz
For a Private Swap, receive to a fresh address in a wallet you control. Swap.bz can remember an address on your device only if you opt in — it never stores it server-side.

Unlinkability
Unlinkability means an observer cannot connect two on-chain events — for example your deposit and your payout — to the same person.
HD wallet
An HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet derives unlimited addresses from one seed phrase, so you can use a fresh address per payment.
Stealth address
A stealth address is a one-time destination derived from the recipient’s public key so that payments to the same person are not visibly linked on-chain.
