The Travel Rule requires regulated virtual-asset service providers to share sender and recipient information for transfers between them.
It applies to custodial VASPs. It is one reason regulated exchanges ask about the destination of withdrawals and why non-custodial flows differ.
On Swap.bz
Not applicable to Swap.bz’s non-custodial flow; your deposit is a normal on-chain transaction from your own wallet.
