Protecting Your Privacy


Privacy Policy & Philosophy


ZCash Wallet team is committed to user privacy and we view privacy as a human right. We are supporters of the Tor Project, Electronics Frontier Foundation, and European Center for Digital Rights. ZCash Wallet never collections, distributes, or sells private information. The best way we can ensure your privacy is to never ask private information.

Protecting your privacy is not just an afterthought, but something we have focused on from the beginning. We are so committed to privacy that ZCash Wallet operates over the Tor Network to further ensure your privacy. Tor Network is an anti-censorship / anonymizing privacy network from the Tor Project. Every wallet function is executed over the Tor Network which prevents privacy leaks to your ISP or node operators. ZCash Wallet also support the top privacy coins so that using privacy focused coins is more accessible to you.

ZCash Wallet is built to be decentralized. That means that the wallet functions such as getting transactions, header blocks, etc, does not depend on infrastructure provided by ZCash Wallet. Instead the wallet uses community powered, decentralized infrastructure. For example, the Monero wallet chooses a random Monero node from the Monero network. It connects to this node over the Tor Network, so the node does not even know the IP address of the connecting client.

The services that ZCash Wallet provides, such as this Web site you currently are reading, are accessible over the Tor Network for maximum privacy. In addition, service components such as the Web server are configured to either not log or to frequently delete any logs that are generated in their normal course of operation . Any e-mails sent to our help desk are also deleted once the support issue has been resolved.
