Privacy
Aperture is built privacy-first. Your keys and personal data stay on your device, and we collect as close to nothing as a wallet can. This explains what that means and your rights under the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other global frameworks.
1. Who we are
Aperture is operated by Stage and Style Collective LLC, 2103 Condor Ct, Redmond, Oregon 97756-8281, United States (“Aperture”, “we”, “us”). For any privacy request, contact care@aperturex.io. We act as the data controller for the limited processing described below.
2. Our privacy principle
Aperture is a non-custodial, on-device wallet. We are designed so that we cannot see your funds, your keys, or your activity. Most “personal data” a normal app would hold simply never reaches us.
3. What we do NOT collect
Aperture has no accounts. We do not ask for your name, email, or phone number to use the wallet. We never collect, transmit, or store your private keys, recovery phrase, or PIN — these are generated and encrypted on your device and never leave it. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Information processed on your device
Your wallet addresses, balances, transaction history, settings, and address book are stored locally on your device, encrypted at rest, and protected by your device passcode and biometrics. They are not uploaded to Aperture.
5. Information involved in normal operation
To show balances and broadcast transactions, the app queries public blockchain nodes and price providers. These requests necessarily include data such as your public addresses, the network queried, and your IP address (visible to the node/provider as with any internet request). We minimize what is sent and do not attach identifiers that tie requests to your real-world identity.
6. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (to provide the wallet you asked for), legitimate interests (to operate, secure, and improve the app in a privacy-preserving way), and consent (for any optional diagnostics, which you can withdraw at any time in Settings).
7. Analytics & tracking
We do not use advertising SDKs, cross-app tracking, fingerprinting, or analytics that identify you. Any aggregate, anonymized diagnostics are strictly optional and off unless you enable them.
8. Third-party services
Aperture does not run swaps, bridges, dApp connections, or an in-app browser. To show balances, prices, market data, and transaction status, the app may contact public blockchain nodes and market or FX providers. Their handling of network requests is governed by their own policies.
9. International data transfers
We are based in the United States. Where data is processed across borders (for example, by infrastructure or node providers), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognized under applicable law.
10. Data retention
Because your wallet data lives on your device, you control its retention — deleting the app or resetting it removes it. Any minimal operational logs are kept only as long as needed for security and legal compliance, then deleted or anonymized.
11. Your rights
Subject to your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (we do neither). Under the CCPA/CPRA you also have the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Because we hold almost no personal data, many requests are satisfied directly on your device; for anything else, email care@aperturex.io and we will respond within the timeframe required by law. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
12. Security
Keys are encrypted with device-backed protections (Secure Enclave / Keychain) and gated by Face ID or passcode. No system is perfectly secure; safeguarding your recovery phrase is essential and remains your responsibility.
13. Children
Aperture is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes
We will update this policy as the app evolves and post the new effective date above. Material changes will be surfaced in-app.
