Privacy Policy (this “Policy”)

This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) on the “Manta Wallet” application (“Application”), Manta Wallet website (“Website”), and any of their related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information.

In respect to the User, we are the data controller of your information processed under this Privacy Policy.

This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and this Website operator and Application developer (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such an entity to this agreement, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity.

If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this agreement, you must not accept this agreement and may not access and use the Services. By accessing the Website or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy, and acknowledge and agree that we may use your personal information as set out in this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

What information do we talk about?

For the purposes of the given document, we would like to classify information into the following categories:

  1. Data that is used for wallet creation, import, and export (i.e., mnemonic phrase, seed, etc.) (“Sensitive Information”),
  2. Personally identifiable information (i.e., data that could potentially identify you as an individual) (“Personal Information” as referred above), and
  3. Non-personally identifiable information (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify who you are) (“Non-Personal Information”).

This Privacy Policy covers all the categories and will tell you how we might collect and use each type.

What information do we collect?

Sensitive information

Your Sensitive information is not collected or stored by us. In particular, it is not sent anywhere, is not stored anywhere except your device, and is not included in backups of the operating system. We are committed to making sure your information is protected and we employ several mechanisms to keep your information safe, including on-device encryption, verification and authentication by password or biometry, and securing all network connections with industry standard transport layer security. However, even with these precautions taken by us, safety of your device and your mnemonic passphrase, seed, or backup data is solely your responsibility. For the avoidance of doubt, we have no responsibility for protecting your Sensitive Information as we do not in any manner to store your Sensitive Information. It is also your sole responsibility to safeguard your own Sensitive Information. We could not provide any recovery or retrieving action in the event if you lost such information, nor would we be liable to your Sensitive Information.

Personal information

You can access and use the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. In other words, no Personal information is collected by our Services. This applies to all categories of users, including children under the age of 18. In any event, if you contact us by email or on social media which you may have identified yourself, your identity or Personal Information will not be stored with us. For your Personal Information you have submitted to a particular social media platform, you are suggested to read the social media platform’s privacy policy to understand how your Personal Information is stored or processed.

Whenever you use our Services, we collect error data and information through third-party products on your computer (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your device IP address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics. No Sensitive Information or Personal Information is collected. Log Data will be processed securely in compliance with all relevant regulations, and will not be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties without your explicit consent. For the avoidance of doubt, such information cannot be associated with your identity and is considered to be Non-Personal Information.

Our Services do not use “cookies” explicitly. However, some third-party services that we might use in the app may use cookies to collect, store, and track information for security and personalization, and for statistical purposes.

Disclosure of information

We do not share your information with anyone for any reason.

Security of your personal information

We take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected and require our third-party service providers and partners to have appropriate safeguards as well. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unauthorized disclosure.

By using our Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our Services. If we learn of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on our Services or by sending an email to you.

Third-party websites/application

The Services may contain links to other websites/applications and other websites/applications may reference or link to our Services. These third-party services are not controlled by us. We encourage our users to read the privacy policies of each website and application with which they interact. We do not endorse, screen, or approve, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices or content of such other websites or applications. Providing personal information to third-party websites or applications is at your own risk. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies or processing of your personal information.

For some blockchain applications, there is a possibility that anyone can view the balance and transaction history of any public wallet address. Others may be able to match with your wallet address to other information about you, and therefore maybe able to identify you from a blockchain transaction. These third-party applications may also use data analytics to identify other information about you. You should use these blockchain applications at your own risk.
