This Privacy Policy explains how the Bitcredit eCash Wallet handles information.
The Bitcredit eCash Wallet is non-custodial software.
Wallet keys, Bitcoin-native e-cash tokens, balances, transaction information and settings exclusively are stored locally on the user’s device. The wallet does not create an account with the publisher or any other party.
The wallet does not require names, email addresses or other identity information.
E-cash tokens are blinded. They do not contain and are not linked to the identity of the sender, recipient or wallet owner. Independent mints in the global Bitcredit network process blinded tokens without receiving a user’s name or wallet identity.
Users send e-cash tokens and payment requests directly to one another.
Users may use Nostr, email, messengers or other channels for communication. Nostr message contents are encrypted. Relay operators receive technical connection data, such as IP addresses, public keys and timestamps, as part of operating a relay. The publisher does not receive or store these communications.
The wallet connects to the global, decentralised Bitcredit network of independent mints.
After receiving e-cash tokens, the wallet may submit them to a mint for validation and replacement with fresh tokens. Mints in the Bicredit network operate independently and may receive technical connection data required to communicate with the wallet.
Users may manually enter contact names, email addresses and text notes.
This information is stored only on the user’s device. It is not sent to the publisher or any other party and it is not automatically included in payment requests. Users control the contents of any text notes they enter.
The wallet requests camera access only when the user chooses to scan a QR code. QR-code scanning is performed on the device. The wallet does not take or retain photographs or video, and camera images are not sent to the publisher.
The wallet may use NFC to interact with compatible cards, devices or tags when initiated by the user. NFC is used only for the requested wallet interaction. The publisher does not receive or retain NFC data.
The wallet may provide local notifications.
No notification data is used for advertising or tracking.
The wallet may use Face ID, Touch ID or other device biometrics to protect access to the wallet. Biometric data is processed by the device operating system. The wallet and the publisher do not receive or store biometric data.
The wallet supports recovery of e-cash tokens from the user’s seed using information obtained from the relevant mint.
The publisher does not hold users’ recovery seeds. Users shall keep it secret and offline.
The wallet does not use advertising or tracking technologies.
The publisher does not sell user data or share it for advertising, marketing or tracking. The wallet communicates directly with other users, Nostr relays and independent mints when required for its functions. These parties are not operated or controlled by the publisher.
The wallet includes a “Delete Wallet” function. When confirmed by the user, it removes the wallet and the wallet data stored by the application on that device. There is no corresponding server-side wallet account or wallet database held by the publisher or any other party.
The support function opens the user’s email application. The wallet does not automatically attach wallet data, logs or diagnostics. Information voluntarily included by the user in an email is processed only to respond to that request.
We may update this Privacy Policy when the wallet’s functionality or data practices change. The updated date will appear above.
