Privacy Policy

• “App” means the Radar software program provided by the Company and downloaded by You on any electronic device.
• “Device” means any device that can access the App, such as a cell phone or tablet device.
• “Node” means a server on a supported cryptocurrency network which transmits data to your App for processing and synchronization, and to which your Device transmits transactions which you would like to submit to the supported cryptocurrency networks. This includes Bitcoin full nodes, Electrum servers, and Lightning Network nodes.
• “Company Nodes” refers to the set of cryptocurrency nodes operated and maintained by the Company.
• “Service” refers to the App.
• “Usage Data” refers to data collected automatically about your usage of an App.
• “You” means the individual, group, corporation, or any other entity accessing or using the Service.

Usage Data (including the date and time at which you use the application, the duration of using it, and other ‘metadata’) is NOT collected by the Company through the usage of the App. The Company has no reason to care about any aspect of your continued usage of our App. We believe that this data is your own property and that we have no right to collect it.

The content of your messages is end-to-end encrypted. The Company cannot read, access, monitor, or store the content of your private communications. The encryption keys used to secure your messages remain on your Device.

Data relating to your funds, and their security and privacy, remains on your Device at ALL times. Your private keys, seed phrase, backup files, and wallet passcode are your own responsibility. This data is not received, collected, or stored by the Company at any time, for any reason.

We may receive but do NOT store information from and about users of our App, including:

• The Device IP address, the block height to which your wallet is synchronized, and any transactions, payments, or Lightning channels which you use our Node to submit to or settle on supported cryptocurrency networks. We receive this information automatically as you use the App, unless you turn certain features off in your App privacy settings.

This data is provided by connecting to the Nodes maintained by the Company. You have the right to choose not to provide synchronization data to the Company by choosing a different Node. We provide a list of Nodes in the App that include our own and third-party Nodes, or you can use your own Node (which we recommend).

Personal Data that may be sent through the Company Nodes is limited to your Device’s IP address, the block height to which your wallet is synchronized, and any transactions, payments, or channels which you use our Node to submit to the supported cryptocurrency networks. Personal Data received by the Company in this manner is not stored for any length of time, and thus the Company is incapable of sharing this data and will not use it for any purpose beyond ensuring your appropriate connection to our Nodes.

If you decide to use a Node offered by any third party, some of which we include in our App, said third party will receive this Personal Data instead of the Company. We take no responsibility for the actions of any third-party Node offered within the Application. We recommend connecting to your own Node to limit third-party sharing of your Personal Information.

Radar’s encrypted messaging is built on the Signal protocol and uses Signal’s messaging server infrastructure. Because of this, Radar’s handling of your messages closely follows Signal’s, and Signal’s privacy practices apply to the underlying messaging service. We encourage you to review Signal’s Terms of Service & Privacy Policy at https://signal.org/legal/.

Your messages and calls are always end-to-end encrypted. Neither the Company nor Signal can decrypt or otherwise access the content of your messages or calls. Your message history is stored on your own Device, not on our servers.

So that messages can be delivered to recipients whose devices are temporarily offline, end-to-end encrypted messages may be queued on the messaging servers until they can be delivered, and are not retained beyond what is necessary for that delivery.

Additional technical information necessary to operate the messaging service — such as randomly generated authentication tokens, keys, and push tokens — may be stored on the messaging servers. This information is limited to the minimum required to transmit messages and establish calls, and never includes the content of your communications. We do not sell this information or use it to build advertising or behavioral profiles.

Radar can optionally discover which of the contacts in your address book also use Radar, using a contact discovery process designed to protect the privacy of your contacts. Consistent with the Signal protocol, information from the contacts on your Device may be cryptographically hashed before being transmitted to the server in order to determine which of your contacts are registered. You can control the App’s access to your Device contacts through your Device’s operating system permissions, and contact information is not used for advertising. For more detail on the underlying approach, see Signal’s description of private contact discovery and Signal’s Privacy Policy.

We collect several types of information from and about users of our App, including information:

• By which you may be personally identified, such as name, e-mail address, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“personal information” or “Personal Data”);
• Device data and error log data.

We collect this information:

• Directly from you ONLY when you provide it to us. Personal information is received by the Company ONLY in the event that you choose to provide it to us by voluntarily contacting the Company regarding support, questions, or suggestions.
• You may optionally send us Error reports to help us improve the App. These Error reports contain error logs and basic Device data. You can review and make modifications to these Error reports before sending them to us, or you may choose not to send them to us at all.

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information:

• To present our App and its contents to you.
• To allow you to sync using the closest geographical Node: In the event that you choose to synchronize your wallet using a Node maintained by the Company, we determine your approximate location using your IP address to redirect your wallet to the fastest possible Node.
• To deliver messages and payments you initiate, by transiently relaying encrypted data between you and your intended recipients.
• To contact you: In the event that you contact the Company first, we will use the Personal Data with which you provide us to respond to you.
• To attend and manage your requests to us.
• For any other purpose with your consent.

If you enable push notifications, the App may use your Device operating system’s push notification service (operated by your platform provider, such as Apple or Google) to alert you of new messages or activity. These notifications are designed not to reveal message content. Your platform provider’s handling of push notification data is governed by its own privacy policy.

Personal Data received by the Company Nodes, or voluntarily submitted to the Company through e-mail or other methods, may be transferred to computers located outside of your governmental jurisdiction, where the data protection laws may differ from yours. Your consent to this Privacy Policy, and your submission of such information, represents your agreement to this transfer.

The Company will take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. No transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place to protect the security of your data.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction. For example, we may, from time to time, disclose the number of users who have downloaded our Application.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:

• To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
• To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
• To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about our App users is among the assets transferred. However, we will provide notice before this Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
• To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it.
• For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
• With your consent.

We may also disclose your personal information:

• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
• To enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements.
• If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.

The Company is incapable of providing any authority or government agency with the content of your messages or with data received by the Company Nodes, because we do not have access to that content and do not store that data.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required by authorities to disclose Personal Data which you voluntarily provide us, including your e-mail address. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT TRANSMIT ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO US THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SUBJECT TO SUCH DISCLOSURE.

You are responsible for your personal data, including all data related to the safety of your funds and the security of your messages. You should take all appropriate action to protect this data. The Company cannot recover any data related to your funds, your seed phrase, or your encryption keys in the event that you lose or give away this data. The Company strongly recommends that you take action to secure your funds and your account, by writing down your seed phrase or keys, storing encrypted backups, and never sharing this information.

The Company undertakes any and all reasonable steps possible to secure any data that you voluntarily transmit to us. However, we cannot guarantee that any outside system used to transmit this data is entirely secure and, as such, we recommend that you exercise caution when voluntarily transmitting data to us.

In any situation, the Company takes no responsibility for interception of personal data by any outside individual, group, corporation, or institution. You should understand this and take any and all appropriate actions to secure your own data.

You can delete your Radar account and all of its associated data at any time, directly from within the App. You do not need to contact us or submit a separate request to do so.

To delete your account, open the App, go to Settings, choose the delete account option, and confirm. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

When you delete your account, we remove the data associated with it, including:

• Your account registration on our messaging service.
• The technical identifiers used to operate the service for you, such as the randomly generated authentication tokens, keys, and push tokens stored on the messaging servers.
• Any of your messages still queued for delivery on the messaging servers.

Your messages, message history, contacts, wallet, private keys, and seed phrase are stored only on your Device and are never held by the Company. This data is removed when you delete your account and remove the App from your Device, and we cannot access or delete it on your behalf. Uninstalling the App removes the data stored on your Device, but to remove your account registration from our messaging service you should use the in-App account deletion described above.

If you have voluntarily provided other Personal Data to us — for example, by emailing us for support — you may request its deletion by contacting us at [email protected].

We may retain a limited amount of information after account deletion only where necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce our agreements. Any such information is kept only for as long as required for those purposes and is then deleted.

The App is not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

The App may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Radar does not currently offer fiat-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat on-ramp or off-ramp services, or the exchange or swapping of cryptocurrencies, and therefore does not currently require you to provide identity-verification information (such as government ID, photographs, or similar information) to any third-party provider through the App. If such features are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe any associated third-party services and the information they collect.

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you through a notice on the App. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of this document. You are responsible for periodically visiting our App and this privacy policy to check for any changes to our Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you are encouraged to contact us by email at [email protected].
