Privacy Guarantees

Understand what Kasanova sees and doesn't see.

Client-Side Cryptography

Everything Sensitive Happens on Your Device:

What We NEVER See

❌ Your seed phrase ❌ Your private keys ❌ Your addresses ❌ Your balance ❌ Your transaction history ❌ Who you send to ❌ Who sends to you ❌ Your token holdings ❌ Your NFT collection ❌ Your marketplace activity

How It Works

Wallet Creation:

Seed phrase generated on device
Never transmitted anywhere
Stored in secure device storage
iOS: Secure Enclave
Android: Keystore

Transaction Signing:

Transaction created locally
Signed with private key on device
Only signed transaction broadcast
Private key never leaves device

Address Generation:

HD wallet derives addresses locally
From seed phrase, on device
Kasanova servers never see them

What We DO See

Public Data Only

✅ Token metadata (names, icons, descriptions) ✅ Market prices (public data) ✅ Marketplace listings (public) ✅ Network status ✅ Block heights

Why We Need This

Provide token information in app
Display current prices
Show marketplace listings
Ensure app functions properly

What We Provide

Our servers are "dumb pipes":

Return public token data
Provide price feeds
Relay marketplace listings
Proxy to blockchain (but don't log)

Privacy Tips

Use Different Addresses:

Different purposes = different addresses
Public receives vs private savings
Marketplace vs personal use
Reduces linkability

Don't Reveal Links:

Don't post "my address is..."
Don't link addresses to identity publicly
Consider privacy when sharing

Understand Trade-offs:

Convenience vs privacy
Reusing addresses is easier
But reduces privacy
Choose based on needs
