What Data Does Gem Wallet Collect?
Short Answerâ
Gem Wallet collects very little. It doesn't have accounts, it doesn't ask for your name, email, or phone number, and it can never see your Secret Phrase or private keys. The app has no analytics or advertising trackers.
This page summarizes the Gem Wallet Privacy Policy (last updated June 23, 2026). If anything here differs from the policy, the policy applies.
What Gem Wallet Never Collectsâ
- Your Secret Phrase, private keys, or passcode. They stay encrypted on your device.
- Your name, email, phone number, or home address. You don't need any of them to use Gem Wallet.
- In-app analytics or advertising data. Gem Wallet doesn't sell data.
What Gem Wallet Does Processâ
| Data | Why | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Your IP address | To pass to fiat providers for their compliance checks, to prevent referral fraud, and to limit abuse | Handled briefly, not stored permanently |
| A push notification token | To deliver the notifications you turn on | Optional and off by default. Android (Google Play) uses Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging and iPhone uses Apple's push service. F-Droid and Huawei builds don't include Firebase |
| Error logs | To fix problems | Only when an error reaches Gem Wallet's servers. There's no crash-reporting or analytics tool in the app |
| Anything you send support | To answer your request | For example, an email address you choose to give. Kept only as long as needed |
Your public addresses and transactions are on public blockchains, where anyone can see them. That's how blockchains work, not something Gem Wallet adds. See Is It Safe to Share Your Wallet Address?.
Who Else May Receive Dataâ
Some features connect you to other services. They have their own privacy policies, and Gem Wallet doesn't receive or store the data they collect:
- Fiat providers that buy or sell crypto for cash collect identity and payment details for their own checks (KYC). See What are Fiat Providers?.
- Swap providers receive the details needed to quote and run your swap.
- dApps you connect with WalletConnect see your public address and the requests you approve.
- Infrastructure services, such as Cloudflare, Apple, and Google, handle network traffic and notifications.
- A custom node, if you add one, sees your requests and IP address. See Setup a Custom RPC on Gem Wallet.
How to Share Lessâ
- Leave push notifications off if you don't need them. See How Do Transaction Push Notifications Work?.
- Use the F-Droid build on Android if you'd rather not have Google's push service.
- Only connect to dApps and use providers you trust.
- Never share your Secret Phrase or private key. Gem Wallet support will never ask for them. See What Information Is Safe to Give Wallet Support?.
Your Rightsâ
Because Gem Wallet holds almost no personal data, there's usually nothing to access or delete. For anything you've shared, such as an email to support, you can ask for access, correction, or deletion through the contact on the privacy policy.
