This Privacy Policy explains how chainwheel ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our decentralized application (dApp) for cryptocurrency trading on the Solana blockchain.
Privacy-First Design: chainwheel is designed with privacy as a core principle. We operate with minimal data collection and do not create user accounts or store personal information on our servers.
✓ No user accounts required
✓ No personal information stored
✓ No KYC or identity verification
✓ Direct blockchain interactions only
chainwheel does not collect, store, or process:
Personal identification information (name, address, phone, email)
Account credentials or passwords
Private keys or seed phrases
Trading history or transaction records
Financial information or account balances
Location data or GPS coordinates
Biometric or identity verification data
The following information is stored only in your browser's local storage and never sent to our servers:
User Preferences: Your selected time period filter (5m, 1h, 3h, 24h)
Filter Settings: Your preference for "new tokens only" filter
UI State: Interface preferences and display settings
Note: This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to chainwheel servers. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.
Our systems may automatically collect minimal technical information necessary for platform operation:
IP Address: For basic security and rate limiting
Browser Type: For compatibility and optimization
Device Type: For responsive design delivery
API Request Data: Timestamps and request types for caching optimization
This technical data is automatically deleted and not stored permanently.
chainwheel integrates with several third-party services to provide functionality. These services have their own privacy policies and data collection practices:
Solana Blockchain: All transactions are recorded on the public Solana blockchain. Blockchain data is publicly accessible and permanent.
QuickNode RPC: We use QuickNode's RPC service to interact with the Solana blockchain. They may collect IP addresses and request data per their privacy policy.
Jupiter Protocol: Token swaps are executed through Jupiter Protocol. They may collect transaction data and wallet addresses for swap execution.
DexScreener API: We fetch token data from DexScreener for trending tokens. Our server caches this data but doesn't associate it with individual users.
Solana Wallet Adapters: We support various Solana wallets (Phantom, Solflare, etc.). Each wallet has its own privacy policy regarding data collection and storage.
Important: We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies directly.
The minimal technical information we collect is used solely for:
Platform Operation: Ensuring the dApp functions correctly
Security: Basic protection against abuse and attacks
Performance: Optimizing loading times and caching
Compatibility: Ensuring cross-browser functionality
We do not:
Sell, rent, or share any information with third parties
Use information for marketing or advertising
Create user profiles or behavioral tracking
Associate wallet addresses with personal identities
Server Data: We do not retain user data on our servers. Technical logs are automatically deleted and not stored permanently.
Local Data: Data stored in your browser's local storage remains until you:
Clear your browser's local storage manually
Clear your browser's cache and cookies
Uninstall your browser
Use browser privacy modes that don't persist data
Blockchain Data: Transactions on the Solana blockchain are permanent and publicly accessible. We have no control over blockchain data retention.
We implement appropriate security measures to protect the minimal data that passes through our systems:
HTTPS Encryption: All communications are encrypted in transit
No Data Storage: We don't store sensitive data, eliminating data breach risks
Rate Limiting: Protection against abuse and attacks
Regular Updates: Security patches and dependency updates
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for securing your:
Wallet private keys and seed phrases
Device and browser security
Network connection security
chainwheel is accessible globally. Since we collect minimal data and don't store personal information, most international privacy regulations do not apply. However:
Users in the EU have the right to request information about any data we might have
Since we don't store personal data, there's typically nothing to provide or delete
Third-party services may have different privacy practices for international users
chainwheel is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you are under 18, please do not use our platform.
Since we collect minimal data, your privacy rights are naturally protected:
Right to Information: This policy explains our practices
Right to Access: You can contact us to confirm we have no stored personal data
Right to Deletion: No personal data to delete
Right to Portability: Your local storage data is already on your device
Right to Object: You can stop using the platform at any time
All transactions on the Solana blockchain are publicly visible and permanent. This includes wallet addresses, transaction amounts, and timestamps.
What's Public:
Your wallet address
Transaction amounts and tokens
Transaction timestamps
Platform fees paid
What's Private:
Your identity (unless you connect it to your wallet publicly)
Your personal information
Your private keys
Your trading strategy or preferences
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Since we collect minimal data, changes are typically minor and related to third-party service updates or regulatory requirements.
chainwheel respects your privacy by design:
No user accounts or personal information storage
Only minimal technical data for platform operation
Local storage only for your preferences
Direct blockchain interactions without intermediaries
No tracking, profiling, or behavioral analysis
