1. Introduction

VanityGen Tools ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Bitcoin vanity address generation service.

We have designed our service with privacy in mind, collecting only the minimum information necessary to provide our services. This policy outlines our practices regarding your data and your rights related to that information.

Email Address

Required to send you the generated private keys

Prefix Request

The custom prefix you want for your Bitcoin address

IP Address

We do not collect payment information directly. All Bitcoin transactions are processed on the blockchain, which is public by nature.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To generate and deliver your custom Bitcoin address and private key
  • To prevent abuse and enforce our rate limiting policy
  • To provide customer support when needed
  • To improve our service and fix technical issues
  • To communicate with you regarding your order status
  • To analyze usage patterns and optimize our service

Important Security Note

We do NOT store your private keys after they are sent to your email. Once delivered, we have no way to retrieve or access your private keys.

If you lose access to the email containing your private key, we cannot recover it.

4. Data Storage and Security

  • Your email address is stored only for the duration needed to complete your request
  • Private keys are generated in memory and immediately sent to your email
  • We use industry-standard encryption for data transmission
  • Our servers are secured with appropriate technical measures
  • Access to our database is strictly limited to authorized personnel
  • We implement robust security protocols to protect against unauthorized access

While we take significant measures to protect your data, no online service can guarantee absolute security. We recommend transferring any funds received at your vanity address to a wallet where you exclusively control the private keys.

5. Data Sharing

  • When required by law or legal process
  • To protect our rights, property, or safety
  • With service providers who assist in operating our website (under strict confidentiality agreements)

Any third-party service providers we use are contractually bound to process your information only for the purposes specified by us and in accordance with this privacy policy.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics: For website traffic analysis
  • Email Service Provider: To send private keys to your email

These services have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information. We encourage you to read their respective privacy policies:

  • Email addresses for completed requests are deleted after 7 days
  • Private keys are never stored and exist only during the generation and sending process
