We run a real world company with a legal entity.
This was a very pragmatic business decision. We were swamped with support tickets users reporting "Exchange A/B/C froze my account because I used onchain Bitcoin from a Boltz swap". We had to act to not make Boltz incompatible with regulated services.
Also: Boltz is not a privacy tool. Boltz is a tool to (atomically) swap between different Bitcoin layers. We respect users privacy by not requiring more data than strictly necessary to execute the swap, but Boltz is not to be confused with technologies that are meant to enhance your privacy, like coinjoins.

Do you think you'll ever blacklist conjoined UTXO's?

They will comply with whatever is required from a regulatory perspective in the jurisdictions they operate in. So I think the question is whether coinjoins could ever become illegal

Makes sense. Do you have a warrant canary or can you make a statement about log retention policy / periods?
Very good point @ not enhancing privacy.

https://canary.boltz.exchange, also check https://boltz.exchange/privacy. "Assume we keep all data we have forever" - you can't and shouldn't trust us if we said otherwise.
