SWARMUpdated 24 September 2026. This policy describes the SWARM Wallet iOS beta distributed by S4FE AG. For privacy questions and requests, email swarmofficial@atomicmail.io.
On your device: the wallet stores recovery material, addresses, address labels, transaction history, memos and settings to provide wallet functions. iOS protects the wallet files in the app sandbox. Wallet files and saved wallets are excluded from iCloud device backups. If you enable recovery-phrase storage, the app stores that recovery material in the device Keychain.
Wallet servers: the app connects to the selected server to obtain blockchain information, synchronize balances and submit transactions. The default server is lwd-main.swarm.green:443 on SWARM mainnet; the public testnet build uses lwd.swarm.green:443. A server can observe your IP address, connection times and requests. Requests involving transparent addresses can expose those addresses. Shielded transactions protect transaction details on the blockchain, while network metadata has separate privacy limits. Server operators control their own service logs. Ask our support address for the default service's current logging and retention details.
Blockchain records: submitted transactions are distributed to network participants. Transparent transaction details are public. Shielded transaction contents are encrypted for the relevant wallets. Recipients can retain information you send them, including memos. Confirmed blockchain records cannot be edited or deleted by the wallet publisher.
Camera and device authentication: camera access is used to read QR codes on the device. The app processes scanned codes locally. Face ID or device authentication returns an authentication result to the app. Biometric templates remain under the operating system's control.
Diagnostics and support: Apple processes TestFlight installation, usage, crash and feedback information under its TestFlight terms and privacy policy. If you submit feedback or send support email, Apple or your email provider handles the information you choose to include. Include only the details needed to reproduce the issue. Keep recovery phrases and private keys out of feedback and email.
External services: opening a website or block explorer transfers the displayed URL to your browser. That service can receive your IP address and the URL, including a transaction identifier when present. The app contains no advertising SDK or cross-app tracking. The SWARM build disables third-party name resolution and price lookup.
Retention and deletion: local wallet information remains until you remove the app or its data. Save each recovery phrase before removing wallet data. iOS Keychain entries can survive app deletion. Turn off recovery-phrase storage in Settings before uninstalling to remove that optional Keychain copy. Deleting the app does not delete blockchain records or copies retained by recipients, Apple, email providers or network operators. Send questions about support records, access, correction or deletion to swarmofficial@atomicmail.io.
Changes: future builds may update this policy when wallet functions or data handling change. Read the current policy inside About and at https://swarm.green/wallet/privacy.
Hosted web wallet: SWARM Wallet Web at wallet.swarm.green
SWARM Wallet Web (the wallet in your phone's browser). The web wallet works differently from the desktop wallet and the apps. When you use it, the SWARM wallet server keeps your wallet for you: your wallet file is stored on our server, encrypted at rest, and the server opens it when you sign in. This means the server can see your balances, your addresses and your payments, and it could technically spend from your wallet. We built it this way so that a wallet works on every phone today, with a sign-in by email, until the SWARM Wallet apps are available in the app stores. We store your email address, the times you signed in, and a log of actions without amounts or addresses. We do not use analytics or advertising trackers in the web wallet. Sign-in codes are sent to your email address by our mail provider. You can view your 24-word recovery phrase at any time and open the same wallet in the desktop wallet or the apps, and you can delete your wallet from our server in Settings. If you want the privacy the SWARM network is built for, use the desktop wallet or the apps, where your keys never leave your device.
