Privacy Policy for Begin Wallet

Effective Date: February 08, 2025

1. Introduction

Begin Wallet, operated by Begin W UG, respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our non-custodial wallet service.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Since Begin Wallet is a non-custodial service, we do not collect, store, or have access to:

  • Your private keys
  • Your wallet's transaction history
  • Your personal identification details like name, address, or email unless you provide them voluntarily for customer support or for third-party services like Fiat on/off ramp and swap or any service that requires KYC

3. Information We Might Collect

  • Device Information: We might collect information about the device you use to access our service, including the type of device, operating system, and certain identifiers (like IP address) for security and performance improvement.
  • Usage Data: We collect data on how you interact with our app to enhance functionality and user experience. This includes which features are used, how often, and any error logs.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to recognize you when you return to our service. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

4. Use of Information

  • Service Operation: To operate, maintain, and improve our service.
  • Security: To detect, prevent, and respond to potential or actual security incidents or fraudulent activities.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect rights and property.

5. Data Sharing

  • Third-Party Services: We might share anonymized, aggregated data with third parties for analytics, but we do not share personal data.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

  • Access: You can request access to the data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can ask for inaccurate data to be corrected.
  • Deletion: You can ask us to delete your data, though this might limit your use of our service.
  • Portability: You have the right to data portability in certain circumstances.

Please note, these rights might be limited due to the non-custodial nature of Begin Wallet where we do not hold personal data.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our service and as required or permitted by law. We will delete or anonymize your data when it's no longer needed for the purposes outlined in this policy.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside of where you live. We ensure that any transfer of data is done with appropriate safeguards in place.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and if significant, we'll notify you through the service or by other means.
