PAW Wallet Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 29, 2024
PAW Wallet respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your personal information when you use the PAW Wallet platform, including the PAW Wallet browser extension and related services (“Services”). By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Private Key Security: We do not store or access your private keys.
No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Minimal Data Collection: We only collect data necessary to improve and provide our Services.
Wallet Privacy Mode: Wallet privacy is enabled by default, enhancing privacy by making wallets unsearchable. Only recent transactions are retained, supporting privacy while preventing any single entity from compiling comprehensive activity logs.
Third-Party Payment Processors: Financial data may be shared with third-party processors when using on/off-ramp features.
Local Storage:
We use local storage to save essential settings within the PAW Wallet and the browser extension, such as:
- Status indicators for specific features (e.g., on/off toggles)
- User preferences (e.g., colour themes)
- Authorisation tokens for secure access
Session Storage:
Temporary API security tokens are stored within sessions to enhance security, allowing returning users to re-enter the wallet by typing only their password. This feature is managed securely to ensure session data isn’t tracked beyond user authentication.
Service Usage Data:
We collect information when you interact with PAW Wallet, including:
- IP Address, Operating System, Browser Type, Device Identifier, and Access Date and Time.
This data may be collected directly or through third-party services to:
- Ensure compatibility across platforms
- Optimise speed, security, and user experience
- Meet regulatory and legal requirements
On-Chain Data Visibility:
Actions performed on-chain, including transfers, are logged on PAW Scanner. User-chosen .paw usernames, set in settings, may also be displayed publicly in transaction logs.
Service Delivery: Facilitate wallet functionality.
Customisation: Adjust the interface to your preferences.
Security and Fraud Prevention: Protect against unauthorised access and DDoS attacks.
Compliance: Satisfy legal and regulatory obligations.
Your data is not sold. We may share information under the following conditions:
Service Providers: For hosting, analytics, or payment processing
Legal Compliance: As required by law or to prevent fraud
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or change in ownership
Access & Correction: View and correct your information.
Password and Username Management: Users can update their password and .paw username in settings.
Data Deletion: Request deletion or anonymisation.
Consent Withdrawal: Revoke consent for data collection.
QR Code Security: Users can generate a unique QR code for their wallet and are advised to share it securely.
Opt-out: Exclude yourself from direct marketing.
Non-Discrimination: Exercise your rights without discrimination.
We use reasonable security measures to protect data, though no system is entirely secure. Data is retained only as long as necessary for Services or as required by law.
We use cookies and analytics to monitor usage patterns and enhance our Services. You can disable cookies in your browser.
Users may enable multisig mode, adding an extra layer of security to transactions by requiring multiple signatures.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be used to limit data collection by masking your IP address.
The PAW Wallet browser extension saves a copy of your wallet details securely, similar to MetaMask, so you only need to enter your password for access after initial setup. This data is securely stored and managed within the extension to maintain privacy and security.
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in Services or legal requirements. The latest version will be available within the PAW Wallet extension.
