What can you tell me about iDeal's privacy aspects? Does it allow anonymous transactions (here it mght make sense to distinguish between

- non-anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to non-anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity;

"anonymous" is here to be understood as "anonymous to iDeal", i.e. iDeal has no practical chance of de-anonymizing this identity)?

As far as I know only the Merchant and your account is known to iDeal, not what you buy.
