Last Updated: 18 May 2025 | Effective Date: 15 May 2025
At Gaswallet Tech LTD ("Gaswallet," "we," "our," or "us"), we understand that your personal data deserves the highest level of protection. We are dedicated to processing all personal information in a lawful, transparent, and respectful manner consistent with the regulatory requirements governing privacy and data security.
We recognize the responsibility that comes with managing your data, and we value the trust you place in us each time you access our Services. This Global Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to all of our digital properties and offerings where it is made accessible, including but not limited to our websites and their subdomains, software applications, features, and associated services (collectively referred to herein as the "Services").
PLEASE REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should refrain from using our Services.
Privacy at Gaswallet
As part of our ongoing commitment to accountability and clarity, we periodically revise this Policy to reflect changes in our data handling practices. For users of Gaswallet, we reaffirm the following key principles:
- We never request or store your private keys. You remain in exclusive control of your credentials.
- We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties under any circumstances.
- We only collect Personal Information to the extent necessary to deliver core functionality and enhance your user experience.
IP Address Processing
In certain instances, our Services must process your IP address to function correctly and to maintain performance and security. We may process IP addresses temporarily and solely for the following reasons:
- Fundamental access to Services: We must process IP addresses in order to fulfill requests made by your device, which is essential for providing web-based services.
- Proxy routing for privacy protection: Where applicable, your requests to third-party services may be relayed through our proxy infrastructure.
- Performance optimization and regional delivery: By assessing the volume and latency of user requests across geographic locations, we aim to enhance your experience.
- Legal compliance: In some situations, we are required to analyze IP data to ensure we do not inadvertently provide services to regions restricted by sanctions or other legal obligations.
- Service security and stability: IP addresses are analyzed to detect, prevent, and respond to malicious behavior, such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks or unauthorized access attempts.
1. Who We Are to You
Gaswallet Tech LTD acts as the primary data controller responsible for processing your Personal Information in connection with the Services. This means we determine the purpose and the methods by which your information is collected, used, stored, or deleted.
2. What We Collect
We gather Personal Information from you in two ways: through data you knowingly provide and through data collected automatically as part of your interaction with our Services.
Please note: creating a Gaswallet does not require an email address.
2.1 Information You Provide
The type and volume of data you share with us depends on how you use our Services. Some details are required to make the Services work, while others are optional and tied to features like support or feedback.
2.2 Data We Collect Automatically
Our Services may automatically collect specific technical and interaction-based data. Wherever feasible, we apply practices such as aggregation or anonymization to minimize risks to your privacy.
2.3 Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age limit in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in the EEA and UK), and we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone below this age.
2.5 Analytics, Third-party Tools, and Data Sharing
Gaswallet does not use any analytics tools, software development kits (SDKs), or other integrations that share or transfer user information with third-party entities. All data collected by Gaswallet remains internal and is not transmitted or disclosed to external services, providers, or entities.
2.6 User Accounts and Wallet Functionality
Gaswallet does not create user accounts. Our application operates as a fully non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet. Users independently generate their wallet, and all cryptographic materials, including private keys, are stored exclusively on the user's device. Gaswallet does not have access to these cryptographic materials or user wallets.
2.7 User Device Information
To operate and secure our services, we collect certain device-specific data from users. Specifically, we collect:
- IP address
- Device operating system (OS)
- Device model and name
We collect and process this information solely for internal storage, security, and service improvement purposes. This data is not shared externally or with third parties.
3. How We Use Your Data
We only use your Personal Information for well-defined, legitimate purposes. We do not repurpose your data or use it in ways incompatible with your original engagement.
4. Who We Share Data With
To deliver our Services effectively, certain disclosures of Personal Information are necessary. We do not sell your Personal Information, but we may share it under specific circumstances described below, always guided by the principles of necessity, security, and proportionality.
5. About Our Service Providers
Our collaboration with service providers is integral to maintaining and scaling the Services. We evaluate all providers for compliance and data protection standards and include appropriate contractual safeguards to ensure your data is handled responsibly.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside, you may have legal rights concerning your Personal Information. We honor these rights in accordance with the applicable data protection frameworks in your jurisdiction.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
We only retain Personal Information for as long as it is necessary to provide the Services, fulfill legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
8. Data Security Measures
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, misuse, or alteration. These include encryption, firewalls, role-based access, and other best practices.
9. Third-Party Platforms
Our Services may allow you to connect with or link to third-party platforms, websites, or decentralized applications. While we enable such integrations, we do not control how those third parties collect, use, or disclose your data.
10. Ownership Transitions
In the event of a corporate change—such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets—we reserve the right to transfer your Personal Information to the succeeding entity or acquirer as part of the transaction.
11. Policy Updates
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or our own data practices. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this document.
12. Submitting Complaints
We take your concerns seriously. If you have questions or objections about how we handle your Personal Information, we encourage you to contact us directly using the contact details below.
