Privacy Policy
Lite Wallet is non-custodial. Your keys, your paper key, your transactions — they stay on your device. Here's the full detail.
Effective date: 2026-04-20. Last updated: 2026-05-12.
Summary
Lite Wallet is a non-custodial, open-source cryptocurrency wallet. Private keys, paper keys, balances, and transaction history are generated and stored entirely on the user's device. Lite Wallet operators do not receive, see, or store user private keys, paper keys, or transaction contents. This policy describes the limited data Lite Wallet handles — primarily technical data required for the application to function, such as peer connections to the Litecoin network and optional crash reports — and what it does not handle.
What Lite Wallet does not collect
Lite Wallet does not collect, receive, transmit, or store: your 12-word paper key; your private keys or any derived signing keys; your wallet password or biometric authentication data; your wallet balance, transaction history, addresses, or counterparties; your name, email address, phone number, postal address, government ID, or payment method; usage analytics that identify you personally; behavioral tracking across sessions or devices. We have no user accounts. We have no login. We have no central server that holds wallet data. The non-custodial architecture makes collecting most of the above technically impossible at the application level — keys are derived on-device from your paper key and never leave your device.
Limited data handled
SPV peer connections
Lite Wallet connects to Litecoin network peers to learn chain state and broadcast your transactions. Peers see your device's public IP address unless you enable Tor routing (Settings → Privacy → Tor). This is how any Litecoin wallet works; it is not a LiteWallet-specific collection. Lite Wallet operators do not run these peers and do not log peer traffic.
Download logs
The litewallet.dev web server logs downloads of binaries (standard HTTP access logs) including IP address and user agent, for 30 days, for security and abuse-prevention purposes. These logs are not linked to any wallet or user account — because there is no user account.
Crash reports (opt-in)
If you opt into crash reporting in Settings → Privacy, anonymized crash data — stack traces, application state at time of crash — is sent to help fix bugs. No wallet data is included. This is off by default; you must explicitly enable it.
Exchange / swap provider data
When you use the in-wallet swap or exchange features, the third-party provider (listed in the transaction flow before you confirm) receives standard KYC information if required by their service. Lite Wallet acts as an integration surface, not a custodian. Read the third-party provider's privacy policy before using their service.
Third-party services
Features that explicitly connect you to a third-party service (price feeds, swap aggregators, exchange directory) operate under that third party's privacy policy. Lite Wallet surfaces the third party's name before the connection so you can review their policy. Using a third-party service through Lite Wallet is equivalent to using it directly in terms of the data that third party receives.
Your rights
Because Lite Wallet does not maintain user accounts and does not collect personal data at the application level, standard data-subject rights (access, deletion, portability under GDPR / CCPA / similar frameworks) largely do not apply to Lite Wallet itself — we have no personal data to access, delete, or port. The litewallet.dev download logs are retained for 30 days then deleted automatically. If you believe we hold specific personal data about you, contact us via the GitHub repository and we will investigate and respond.
Jurisdiction
Lite Wallet is open-source software distributed under the MIT license. This privacy policy applies to the Lite Wallet application and the litewallet.dev website. It does not regulate the Litecoin network, which is a public permissionless blockchain operated by its participants globally. Users are responsible for understanding the privacy properties of Litecoin itself (public ledger by default; MWEB for confidential transactions).
Changes to this policy
Material changes to this privacy policy will be announced via the Lite Wallet GitHub repository and reflected by updates to the 'Last updated' date above. Continued use of Lite Wallet after a change constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
