This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking, and loads nothing from third-party servers; fonts are hosted here.

It is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you visit, Vercel processes technically necessary data (IP address, time, requested file, browser identifier) in server logs to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in secure operation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Transfers to the USA rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

The app

Firestead has no account and sends no data to the publisher. The app only connects to the Bitcoin server the user sets (mempool.space by default); that server sees the wallet's addresses and, without Tor, the IP address. If a currency is set, the app asks the same server for the price (with an Electrum server: mempool.space).

On the Mac, the app checks for updates at start (can be turned off) by fetching a file from this website. This only produces the server logs described above; no identifier is sent. With Tor turned on, this check also goes over Tor.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Please send requests to the address in the imprint. You can lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (dsb.gv.at).
