Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 2026 — version 0.1.0

Short version

Heldby collects nothing. Your keys, addresses, balances, and transaction history never leave your device. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no server that knows you exist.

What we collect

Nothing.

Heldby does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. All wallet data lives exclusively in chrome.storage.local on your device, encrypted at rest, and is never transmitted to any Heldby-controlled server.

Data stored on your device

The following is stored locally in your browser, encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your PIN via PBKDF2. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it permanently — there is no cloud backup.

Encrypted vaultPrivate key and seed phrase, AES-256-GCM encrypted
Wallet addressYour public Ethereum address
Cost basis recordsToken purchase prices and timestamps
UI preferencesTooltip dismissals, hidden-balance toggle
Backup verification dateDate of last seed phrase spot-check

Third-party services

Heldby communicates with two external services to function. All requests are routed through a Cloudflare Worker privacy proxy — neither service ever sees your IP address. API keys are stored as server-side secrets and are not bundled in the extension.

Alchemy·Ethereum node access
Receives: Wallet address only

Routed through privacy proxy — your IP is never exposed

CoinGecko·Token price data
Receives: Token identifiers only

Routed through privacy proxy — your IP is never exposed

Analytics and tracking

Heldby contains no analytics SDK, crash reporting library, error tracking service, or usage metrics collection of any kind. We do not know how many users have installed the extension, how often it is opened, or which features are used.

Children

Heldby is not directed at users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

Material changes will be published with a new effective date. Previous versions are preserved in the public git history. Continued use of Heldby after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
