Privacy Policy

1. What data do we collect?

We try to collect as little personal data as possible. Some optional services or notifications may require information such as an email address or phone number. Bitcoin addresses and keys are stored on your device. Information about bitcoin addresses, balances and transactions is recorded on the public Bitcoin blockchain.

Any information related to your public keys and key secrets transmitted via the Bitcoin Keeper relayer is encrypted using the industry standard encryption algorithm AES-256 and is not accessible to Keeper contributors or service operators.

Any information that you share with us as part of user support, including your phone number, telegram handles, etc., will only be used in-so-far as it helps address the specific issue you need help with.

If you use an app store to download Keeper, you have a separate relationship with that store. Keeper does not receive individual user information from the app stores simply because you download the application.

2. Data processing records

Purposes for Data Collection:

• Sending alerts and notifications about Inheritance Key requests.
• Notifying users of relevant app or wallet activity.
• Contacting users for customer support purposes if needed.
• Legal Basis for Processing: Consent
• Data Retention Period: Until the user chooses to delete the data.

3. Access Logs

We maintain records of data access. Access logs are recorded at the backend servers.

4. Data Breach Response Plan

In the event of a data breach involving email addresses and phone numbers, our response plan includes the following steps:

• Detecting and assessing the breach
• Reporting the breach to the relevant authorities within the legally required timeframe
• Mitigating measures to minimize the impact of the breach
• Notifying affected individuals, if required by law
• Reviewing and updating our security measures to prevent future breaches

5. Records of Consent

Where consent is required for processing email addresses or phone numbers, relevant consent records may be maintained in backend systems, including:

• Consent mechanism (e.g., checkboxes, user account settings)
• Date of consent
• Purpose of processing (e.g., notifications)

6. Data Subject Request Handling

Data subject requests related to email addresses and phone numbers are handled through the app settings. Users can exercise the following rights:

• Access their data
• Rectify their data
• Erase their data

7. Processing Records

We maintain records of data processing activities, including when data is collected, how it is used, and any data transfers or sharing with third parties. These records are maintained in our backend systems and are available for audit purposes.

8. Training and Awareness

We maintain records of training and awareness efforts related to data protection for relevant personnel.

9. Third Party integrations

If you choose to use an external service through Bitcoin Keeper, such as backing up Wallet Configuration Files to your chosen cloud service, information you provide to that service is handled by the provider under its own terms and privacy practices.

10. Changes to our privacy policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes may also be announced through Keeper's public project channels.
