Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Overview

SHADE ("we", "our", or "the application") is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency wallet for Solana. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our application.

Key Point: SHADE is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data, private keys, or transaction information to any server.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Private keys or seed phrases
  • Wallet addresses
  • Transaction history
  • Account balances
  • Personal identification information
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Usage analytics or tracking data

3. Local Storage

All sensitive data is stored locally on your device using encrypted storage (AES-256-GCM). This includes:

  • Encrypted private keys (never stored in plaintext)
  • Burner wallet configurations
  • Stealth address seeds
  • Application preferences

This data never leaves your device and is protected by your password.

4. Blockchain Interactions

When you perform transactions, SHADE interacts directly with the Solana blockchain through public RPC endpoints. These transactions are:

  • Recorded on the public Solana blockchain (as with any blockchain transaction)
  • Not associated with any personal information by SHADE
  • Subject to Solana network's inherent transparency

5. Third-Party Services

SHADE may use the following third-party services:

  • Solana RPC Providers: For blockchain interactions
  • Wallet Adapters: For connecting external wallets (e.g., Phantom)

These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • AES-256-GCM encryption for all sensitive data
  • PBKDF2 key derivation with 310,000 iterations
  • No server-side storage of any user data
  • Open-source code for transparency and auditing

7. Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, etc.) don't apply. However, you have full control over your local data:

  • Export your data anytime using the backup feature
  • Delete all local data by clearing browser storage
  • Use the application without any account or registration

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
