Privacy Policy

Blitz

Blitz Wallet, LLC created the Blitz app as a free app. The service for the app is provided by Blitz Wallet, LLC at no cost and is intended for use as is. This Privacy Policy explains how Blitz Wallet handles data in both the Blitz Wallet mobile application (“App”) and the Blitz Wallet website (“Website”). These may differ in scope, and each section below makes clear whether it applies to the App, the Website, or both.

Information Collection

The Blitz Wallet app does not use any third-party services to collect personal information. However, the Blitz Wallet website uses Google Analytics to understand traffic sources and user demographics to better position the website to reach as many people as possible.

Here is a link to Google Analytics' Privacy Policy.

Personal information: None

We store push notification tokens in our database in order to deliver transaction and wallet-related notifications. These tokens are not linked to personally identifiable information and are only used to provide app functionality.

We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor app stability and improve reliability. Crashlytics may collect certain non-personal device information (such as device model, operating system version, and app usage patterns). This data is only used for debugging and improving the app. Crashlytics can be disabled at any time in the app settings if you prefer not to share this information.

Cookies: None

Security

Blitz Wallet is self-custodial, meaning that only you have access to your funds. When creating an account, you will receive a 12-word seed phrase stored on the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore, depending on your operating system. Because your seed phrase is stored online, Blitz is considered a hot wallet and cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Blitz Wallet never transmits your seed phrase, private keys, or wallet backup to Blitz servers. You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your seed phrase offline. Transactions made through the Bitcoin, or Spark networks are inherently public, meaning wallet addresses and transaction details may be visible on their respective blockchains.

Third-Party Links & Services

Blitz Wallet links to multiple third-party websites. When you click on a link, you will be redirected to their page. Blitz Wallet does not control these websites. It is recommended that you read their Privacy Policies. Blitz Wallet assumes no responsibility for the content or practices of these third-party sites.

The Blitz Wallet App uses the following third-party services:

• Boltz API – to facilitate swaps between Roostock and Lightning (Privacy Policy)
• The Bitcoin Company – to purchase Gift cards (Privacy Policy)
• LNVPN – to purchase VPNs, eSIMS, cards (Website)
• sms4Sats – to send and receive SMS numbers anonymously (Website)
• Apple Push Notification service (APNs) – to deliver push notifications
• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) – to deliver push notifications (Privacy Policy)
• Spark – required for sending and receiving Lightning payments. Because payments are coordinated through Spark, your transactions should not be considered private. Spark may have access to certain transaction data as part of providing this service. If Spark's services are unavailable, users may need to perform a unilateral exit to recover funds. You can learn more here: LightSpark Unilateral Exit Guide .

Blitz requires access to your camera to scan Lightning payment requests, and Blitz contact details.

Notifications

To provide a seamless experience with the Lightning Network, you may occasionally receive push notifications. For example, if your app is in the background or closed. Blitz uses Apple Push Notifications and the Google Firebase Cloud Messaging service to fulfill this functionality.

To enable notifications, Blitz Wallet stores a unique push notification token in our database. This token is linked to your device only and is used solely for delivering notifications. It does not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify you. You may disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed.
