Admin of the channel here to clear up some questions you may have. No, we can't see your identity if you choose not to show it and we definitely will not give away your identity for any reason to any third party that might ask for it. With that said, we need to save each users telegram ID in the database in order for this bot to work in the first place, but we didn't make the bot so it tells us which account or username this ID is linked to in any way unless they chose to show it in the first place. There is one exception, in case of emergencies, or for the safety of our members, situations might arise where someone could hurt themselves if someone doesn't do something about it, which was the case in a friend's channel where a member was about to end his life. In these cases, we might go out of our way to go through the database, look up the specific question then see the telegram ID (not username) of the person who posted it, then run that ID through a third party bot to find out who that user is. Otherwise, we don't know who you are unless you want us and everyone else to know who you are. Have a great day.
