Privacy Policy

VOUT separates self-custodial wallet data from the optional social services that make usernames, chat, groups, and invitations work.

Effective August 29, 2026

1. Scope and operator

This Privacy Policy applies to the VOUT mobile application, vout.app, and VOUT invitation pages. The service is operated by Yunshi Lianchuang (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. (“VOUT”, “we”, “us”).

2. Self-custodial wallet data

Wallet keys, signing material, the wallet passcode, Bitcoin wallet records, and RGB client-side state are handled on your device by VOUT’s native wallet Core. They are not uploaded to the social database as a custodial account balance.

If you export an encrypted full-state backup, you choose where to store or share that file. VOUT cannot recover the backup password or recreate missing RGB state for you.

3. Data used by optional social features

When you use social features, the service may process:

  • a pseudonymous service account identifier and your chosen username;
  • profile information and an avatar you choose to upload;
  • friend requests, friendships, group memberships, and group settings;
  • chat messages, reactions, read state, and images you send;
  • payment-request metadata shared through chat, but not wallet keys;
  • device push tokens and notification preferences;
  • referral codes, referral relationships, and vRGB rewards records.

Other members receive the profile and conversation information needed for the feature you use. Do not put recovery material, passcodes, backup passwords, or private keys in chat.

4. Website and invitation data

The public website is static and does not include an advertising SDK. Our hosting and security provider may process standard request information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, and timestamps to deliver and protect the site. Invitation URLs contain a routing code; opening an invitation page does not expose wallet balances, addresses, or keys to that page.

5. How we use data

  • provide usernames, messaging, groups, invitations, and notifications;
  • protect accounts, prevent abuse, and maintain service reliability;
  • respond to support, legal, or security requests;
  • comply with applicable law and enforce the Terms of Use.

We do not sell wallet or social data for advertising.

6. Service providers and disclosure

VOUT uses infrastructure providers to operate public pages, social data, storage, realtime messaging, and push delivery. Current providers include Cloudflare, Supabase, Apple, and Expo. They process data under their own terms and privacy commitments as needed to provide those services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or in connection with a corporate transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

7. Retention and security

We retain social data while it is needed to provide the feature, satisfy security and legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Deleting a local wallet does not automatically delete social records, and deleting social records cannot recover or erase a Bitcoin transaction.

We use access controls and encrypted transport, but no networked service is risk-free. Keep VOUT updated and report suspected account or security issues promptly.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of personal data. You can change profile and notification settings in the app. For requests that cannot be completed in the app, contact us.

9. Children

VOUT is not directed to children under 13, or a higher minimum age where local law requires it. We do not knowingly invite children to use the private beta.

10. Changes

We may update this policy as the product or law changes. We will publish the current version here and update its effective date.
