Verginals Wallet: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 July 2026 · Applies to the Verginals Wallet browser extension.

Verginals Wallet is a non-custodial Verge (XVG) wallet. Your keys are generated and encrypted on your own device and never leave your browser. We cannot see, access, move, or recover your funds. This policy explains, plainly, what the extension does and does not do with data.

1. The short version

We do not collect, store, or transmit your private keys or recovery phrase.
We run no analytics, no trackers, no advertising, and set no cookies.
We do not sell or share any personal data, because we do not collect any.
Everything the wallet needs is kept in your browser's local storage until you remove it.

2. What stays on your device

When you create or import a wallet, the extension generates a private key or a BIP-39 recovery phrase locally. It is encrypted with a passphrase you choose (PBKDF2 key derivation) and saved in your browser's chrome.storage.local, which is private to the extension on your machine. The unencrypted key exists in memory only while the wallet is unlocked, and is discarded when you lock it or close the popup. This sensitive data is never transmitted anywhere and is never sent to us.

3. What is sent over the network, and to whom

To show balances and let you broadcast transactions, the extension contacts public infrastructure:

Verge ElectrumX servers. The wallet sends a scripthash (a hash of your address) to fetch your balance, unspent outputs, transaction history, and to broadcast a transaction that you have signed on-device. As with any network request, the server can observe the connecting IP address. No key material is ever sent.
verginals.com API. To label the Verginals you hold with their collection number, the extension may send the relevant transaction outpoints (public on-chain identifiers) to verginals.com. This is display-only enrichment; if it is unavailable, the wallet still works and your funds are unaffected. No key material is ever sent.

These requests are inherent to how any self-custody blockchain wallet reads the chain. We do not attach identifiers to them and we do not build user profiles.

4. Permissions the extension requests

storage — to save your encrypted vault and immutable on-chain caches locally in your browser.
Access to verginals.com — to fetch collection metadata and to let the site request a wallet connection or a Verginal transfer, which you approve explicitly.

5. Data retention and deletion

All wallet data lives only in your browser. You can remove it at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing its storage. Because we hold nothing on a server, there is nothing on our side to delete. Note that transactions you broadcast are recorded permanently on the public Verge blockchain, which is outside anyone's control, including ours.

6. Third parties

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or data brokers. The only external systems contacted are the public Verge ElectrumX servers and the verginals.com API described above.

7. Children

The extension is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

8. Experimental software

Verginals Wallet is free, non-commercial, open-source, and experimental. It may contain bugs and may change at any time. Use it at your own risk, keep your recovery phrase backed up offline, and never hold more than you are willing to lose.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
