Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2026

Tempest Touch Wallet ("we", "us", "our") operates the Tempest Touch Wallet website and mobile applications (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Account information: Email address, password hash, and wallet address when you create an account.
Transaction data: Wallet addresses, transaction hashes, amounts, and timestamps for sends and receives.
KYC data: Identity verification information (name, ID document, selfie) collected by our third-party KYC provider. We do not store raw ID documents on our servers.
Usage data: Browser type, IP address, and pages visited (for security and analytics).

2. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your wallet account
To process cryptocurrency transactions
To comply with KYC/AML regulations
To detect and prevent fraud
To provide customer support
To improve the Service

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

KYC providers: For identity verification (e.g., Sumsub, Onfido, or similar).
Blockchain node providers: (e.g., Alchemy) to broadcast transactions and query balances.
Legal authorities: When required by law or to protect against fraud.

4. Data Retention

We retain account and transaction data for as long as your account is active, plus 7 years after closure for regulatory compliance. KYC data is retained by our KYC provider per their own retention schedule.

5. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. Note that blockchain transaction data is public and immutable by design — we cannot delete on-chain records.

6. Security

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest) and follow security best practices. Custodial wallet keys are encrypted at rest using a key encryption key (KEK) stored separately from the encrypted data.

7. Children

The Service is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through the Service.

9. Contact Us
