Here is an example of me accepting a Silent Payment to my address. I can only detect it if have knowledge of my nsec and the txid I am looking for (I could scan the entire blockchain if I wish, but not for now)

Once the transaction is detected, I can sweep to another address of mine that is an one-time receive address.

Bottom line: None of this is traceable. Unlike P2SH (which I can still use for public receipt of payment), these transactions are not linked to me, save for the knowledge of my nsec and my destination wallet private key.

Note that all of the potentially trackable data is redacted except for my public Silent Payment Address
