RPE Confidential
Seekers may act at RPE in total anonymity. Unless a Seeker is successful in a transaction, his identity will not be disclosed to anyone. Only when he changes his role to be the new Holder, the disclosure of his identity to the old Holder is required to complete the transaction.
The Seeker may even control the publication of requests he has made by not giving his consent to a public auction style transaction to the Holder. Accordingly, the Holder will loose the Seeker’s binding bid if a public auction style transaction is started. If the Holder refuses the Request, the public will never be able to know about the Request. Even if the Holder accepts the Request, the public will never know about the transaction at RPE.
Despite the strict protection of the Seeker identity at RPE, a messaging system has been implemented which allows anonymous communication between Seekers and Holders.
