1inch Wallet Privacy Policy
Last update: February 10, 2025
At 1inch Limited (hereafter “1inch Limited”, "we", "us", "our"), one of our main priorities is the privacy of the users of our 1inch Wallet Application (the “Application”, “App”). That’s the reason why, to the maximum extent possible, we try to collect as little of your personal data as possible. However, since we still need to process some personal data, we have put in place policies and practices to ensure it all goes smoothly and that everything is secured.
This privacy policy is intended to inform you about the processing of your personal data we carry out when you use the Application (the “Privacy Policy”, the “Policy”). Therefore, it applies to all of your interactions with us via the Application, and your interactions with us in connection therewith. This Privacy Policy, however, is not applicable to any processing of personal data collected via channels other than this Application (including any other services or applications provided by third parties). For those, we advise you to consult the corresponding privacy policies.
We, 1inch Limited, act as the data controller of the processing of your personal data. It means that we decide “why” and “how” your personal data is processed in connection with the Application.
To contact us, please refer to Section 10 (Contact us) of this Policy.
When you use our Application, the categories of personal data that we collect are the following:
Data you provide to us when using the Application:
Data automatically collected when you use the Application:
We may use tracking technologies to automatically collect data from when you use, access, or otherwise interact with the Application. Such data does not reveal your specific identity (such as your name or contact information), but may include the following:
Third-Party Services
We may integrate services and technologies from third parties into some features of the Application. For example, we employ Cloudflare performance and security infrastructure as a proxy between you and the Application’s swap functionality. As a result, when you initiate the swap request, Cloudflare may collect your IP address. Please be aware that based on this data collection, your access to our Services may be restricted. For more information on the eligibility requirements for using the Application please refer to the 1inch Wallet Terms of Service.
We may also engage third-party service providers to facilitate the delivery of our communications. We may also use Beehiiv to distribute newsletters or other updates about the Application, related services, and features. For more information on how Beehiiv processes personal data, please refer to Beehiiv Privacy Policy.
Additionally, we use the services of several Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers, such as QuickNode, Fastnode, Aurora Mainnet RPC, and zkSync Era Mainnet, to facilitate swap operations. The selection of the RPC provider is preset based on the blockchain network. When you initiate the swap request through our Application, the RPC provider usually does not collect your IP address.
However, please note that third-parties may independently collect information. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies and associated terms to understand how they collect and process your data. We are not responsible for the data protection practices of any third party.
We also use third-party services to help us understand your interactions and preferences on the Application. For more information on how we use tracking technologies please refer to Section 7 of this Policy (Tracking Technologies).
Blockchain Data
Please note that we are not responsible for (i) your use of Ethereum or any other blockchain and (ii) the use of your personal data as processed in these decentralized and permissionless blockchain networks.
Your private key which you utilize to access your Ethereum or other blockchain funds and initiate transactions is stored only on your own device. We have no access to and will never ask you for your private keys or wallet seed. Never trust anyone or any application that asks you to enter your private keys or wallet seed.
You should also be aware that due to the inherent transparency of the blockchain networks, transactions that you approve in the Application may be publicly accessible. This includes, but is not limited to, your public sending address, the public address of the receiver, the amount sent or received, and any other data a user has chosen to include in a given transaction.
Transactions and addresses available on blockchain may reveal personal data about the user’s identity, and personal data can potentially be correlated now or in the future by any party who chooses to do so, including law enforcement.
In addition, we may process publicly available data, including information obtained through blockchain intelligence and analytics services. This may involve analyzing blockchain transactions, wallet addresses, and other data accessible on public blockchains or related platforms to enhance the functionality of the Application, ensure security, and provide insights into blockchain activities. Certain elements, when combined with other information, may reveal your identity.
We encourage you to review how privacy and transparency on the blockchain network work.

In the context of processing your personal data in accordance with this Policy, we may communicate your personal data to the following recipients, if necessary:
We will only communicate your personal data to any recipient on a need-to-know basis and only when the processing by the recipient is strictly limited to the purposes identified in this Policy. We do not sell your personal data.
As we operate globally, we may process your personal data around the world where our facilities or providers are located. Therefore, for the purpose of processing your personal data as described in this Policy, we may have to transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
In these cases, we implement appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards to ensure that the personal data transferred benefit from the same level of protection as within the EEA. In practice, this means that each of the envisaged transfers is at least based on one of the following mechanisms:
Information on the transfer mechanisms and safeguards may be requested by contacting us: please see Section 10 of this Policy (Contact us).
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected, as specified in this Policy, and in accordance with the applicable laws.
This means that the retention periods we apply may vary depending on the purpose for which we process your personal data. When determining the appropriate retention period, we take into account the category and amount of personal data, potential risks, and harm that may arise from unauthorized access or disclosure, the specific purposes for which the data is processed, the availability of alternative means to achieve those purposes, and the applicable legal requirements.
We also retain personal data in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations that may apply to us. Sometimes business and legal requirements oblige us to retain certain data, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time (e.g., to comply with AML compliance requirements, or record-keeping obligations imposed by applicable accounting, financial, or regulatory laws).
In some situations, we may anonymize personal information about you so that it can no longer be used to identify you. In such cases, we can use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
We may use third-party service providers that use tracking technologies to analyse and improve your user experience within the Application, in particular, Mixpanel, Branch, Firebase, and Storyly. For more information about how these third-parties process your data, please refer to the corresponding policies:
Such services rely on tracking technologies, such as cookies, pixels, plugins, and software development kits (SDKs) that can be stored on your devices when you visit the Application, so that it can be accessed later. The data collected includes statistical and performance information arising from your use of the Application. This type of data will only be used by us in an aggregated or anonymised manner.
You have the option to disable the use of tracking technologies on your device at any time. Your mobile settings may provide options that allow you to limit the use of tracking technologies associated with your mobile device. Additionally, within our Application, you can navigate to the “Settings” and “Language and Permissions” sections to disable tracking technologies.
Additionally, you can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. The settings for each browser are different. They are described in the help menu of your browser, which will enable you to know how to change your cookies preferences. For example:
In accordance with the applicable personal data protection regulation, including the GDPR, you have the following rights: access, rectification, deletion, objection, restriction of processing, and data portability of your personal data.
Please note that some of these rights are subject to specific conditions set out in the applicable personal data protection regulation. Therefore, if your particular situation does not meet these conditions, we will unfortunately not be able to respond to your request. In this case, we will inform you of the reasons for our refusal.
In such cases, we will temporarily refrain from processing your personal data until necessary verifications have been made or until we comply with your requests.
The portability of your personal data applies only to personal data that you have provided to us or that result from your activity on our Application, under the condition that the disclosure of your personal data does not infringe the rights of third parties. If we are unable to comply with your request, we will inform you of the reasons for our refusal.
Country Specific Rights: You may also be granted specific rights as regards our processing of your personal data depending on the law applicable in the country you are residing in. You may contact us should you have any questions in that regard.
Also, keep in mind that many blockchains are open to forensic analysis which can lead to deanonymization and the unintentional revelation of personal data, in particular when blockchain data is combined with other data. Because blockchains are decentralized or third-party networks that are not controlled or operated by us, we are not able to erase, modify, or alter your personal data from such networks.
If you wish to exercise your rights, you may contact us by using the contact information provided in Section 10 of this Policy (Contact us). To be able to process your request efficiently, we may ask you to provide additional information to confirm your identity and/or to help us retrieve the personal data related to your request.
Please note that you can lodge a complaint with a data protection regulator in one or more of the European Union member states. You can find a list of data protection authorities in Europe here.
If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data under this Policy, including the exercise of your rights as detailed above, you can contact us by email at [email protected].
We periodically review this Policy to ensure it is compliant and up to date with applicable data protection regulations. We will post updates on this page accordingly. When the changes are made, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this Policy.
Therefore, we encourage you to review this Policy regularly. Any modifications will take effect when posted or on the date specified as the effective date (if any). Your continued access to and use of the Application indicates your acknowledgment and acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
