Privacy and your data

What data THORWallet and its website process, what stays on your device, and the difference between deleting the app, a wallet and your personal data.

Short answer

Your recovery phrase and keys stay on your device. THORWallet has no account for your wallet, so there is nothing to delete on a server for it. To access or delete personal data such as card verification data, write to info@thorwallet.org.

On this page

This page is a short summary in plain words. The binding text is the Privacy Policy. The controller is named there.

What stays on your device

  • Your recovery phrase and private keys. They are created on your device and stay there.
  • Your PIN. THORWallet has no copy and cannot reset it.
  • The shares of a vault. Each one stays on its device.

THORWallet never receives these, so it cannot hand them to anyone.

Warning

Before you delete a wallet or the app, make sure you have the recovery phrase or the vault backup files. Without them the funds cannot be reached again.

Things that cannot be deleted:

  • Transactions on a blockchain. They are public and permanent.
  • Data that the law requires THORWallet or its card issuing partner to keep for a certain time, for example verification records.

Your rights

You can ask which personal data THORWallet holds about you, have it corrected or deleted, and withdraw a consent you gave. Send the request to info@thorwallet.org. The details are in the Privacy Policy.

Support will never ask for your recovery phrase, also not to "confirm" a deletion request.

Common questions

How do I delete my THORWallet account?

A self-custody wallet has no account. You can delete the wallet from the app or delete the app. For personal data, for example from card verification or support chats, send a request to info@thorwallet.org.

Does deleting the app delete my funds?

No. Your funds stay on the blockchain. Deleting the app removes the wallet from the phone, so you need your recovery phrase or vault backup files to use the funds again.

Can I delete my transaction history?

No. Transactions are stored on public blockchains and cannot be changed or removed by anyone.

Does the website track me?

The website loads one analytics tool, Google Analytics, and only after you choose Allow analytics in the cookie banner. If you choose Decline, it is not loaded.

Can I have my verification documents deleted?

Write to info@thorwallet.org. Some data must be kept for a period that the law sets, and the card issuing partner is responsible for its own records.
