LEGAL · PRIVACY

Privacy policy.

The shortest, clearest privacy policy in crypto, because the best way to protect your data is to never collect it in the first place.

Zero key access

We have never, and will never, see your private keys or seed phrase.

Zero address tracking

We don't log your wallet addresses, balances, or which chains you use.

Zero ad tech

No cookies, no pixels, no third-party trackers. Ever. Anywhere on this domain.

What we DO collect

A short, honest list.

  • Crash reports

    Optional. Off by default. When on, we receive an anonymous stack trace, no addresses, no balances, no IP.

  • Update checks

    The desktop app pings our update server with a version string. No identifier, no telemetry, no cookies.

  • Marketing site analytics

    This website uses privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible), page views and country, no cookies, no fingerprinting.

What we NEVER collect

Things you should not have to give up.

  • × Your seed phrase, private keys or passphrases
  • × Your wallet addresses, balances or transaction history
  • × Your IP address (we proxy through Cloudflare and discard logs)
  • × Browser fingerprints or device IDs
  • × Cookies, localStorage trackers or pixels on our marketing site
  • × Email addresses (unless you contact support voluntarily)
THE DETAIL

Read it in five minutes.

§ 01

Where data lives

Anything generated by the wallet, keys, address book, transaction cache, lives on your device, in encrypted storage. None of it is uploaded to us, even if you opt into crash reports or cloud sync (cloud sync is end-to-end encrypted with a key only you hold).

§ 02

Optional crash reports

If you opt in, we receive an anonymized stack trace plus the OS family (macOS / Windows / Linux). No IP. No identifier. Reports are auto-deleted after 30 days.

§ 03

Optional cloud sync

If you enable cloud sync, your address book and dApp permissions are encrypted on-device with a key derived from your seed, then uploaded to our storage. Nobody at BitClout, and nobody breaching our servers, can decrypt it.

§ 04

Marketing site analytics

This site uses Plausible Analytics. It records page views and approximate country, no cookies, no cross-site tracking. The full Plausible dashboard for this domain is public, write to us if you want the link.

§ 05

Support emails

If you email support, we keep the thread for 12 months so we can answer follow-up questions. You can request deletion at any time.

§ 06

Data subject rights

Under GDPR, CCPA and similar laws, you have the right to access, correct, export and delete personal data we hold. Since we hold almost none, most requests are answered with 'we don't have anything on you'. The few that aren't are answered within 30 days.

§ 07

Children

BitClout Wallet is not intended for users under 16. We don't knowingly process data from children, and we don't process much from anyone.

§ 08

International transfers

Servers used for crash reports and cloud sync live in the EU and the US. Cloud-sync data is end-to-end encrypted and unreadable in transit and at rest.

§ 09

Changes to this policy

Material changes are announced in the changelog and dated above. We never weaken privacy protections retroactively.

VERIFY OUR CLAIMS

Don't trust. Verify.

Run BitClout Wallet behind Wireshark, Little Snitch or your favorite firewall. The only outbound connections you'll see are to chain RPC nodes you configure, our update server (version string only), and, if enabled, our crash report endpoint.

  • No third-party SDKs
  • No telemetry beacons
  • No DNS pre-fetch leaks
  • Reproducible from source
