Self-Custody Principle (Most Important)
AQON Wallet is a self-custody wallet.
- The user's seed phrase (mnemonic), private key, PIN, and backup password are stored encrypted only in the secure storage of the user's device and are never transmitted to the Company's servers.
- The Company cannot access, does not store, and cannot recover this authentication information.
- Accordingly, the user holds both complete control over and complete responsibility for their assets.
Information We Collect
2-1. Stored only on the device (never sent to servers)
- Encrypted seed phrase / private key
- PIN, biometric settings, backup password
- App settings (language, theme, balance visibility, etc.)
2-2. Sent to and stored on servers to provide the Service
- Wallet address (TRON network) — to provide send/receive notifications and transaction history
- Handle/nickname and profile information (bio, chat display name) — when using user search and transfer-convenience features
- Device identifier and push token (FCM registration token) — to send transaction notifications and for device binding
- Chat messages — when using the in-app chat feature (delivered to the counterparty and stored)
- Transaction history and related metadata — for payment/transfer processing, history display, and trust-grade calculation (based on transaction activity)
- Terms / privacy consent records — consent timestamp, consented items, and consent version (for dispute handling and legal evidence; the IP and device information (User-Agent) at the time of consent may additionally be stored in the future to strengthen dispute handling)
- Access / authentication logs — app version, device information (User-Agent), IP address (hashed), etc. — for security, abuse prevention, incident response, and force-update decisions
2-3. Automatic collection through third-party SDKs
The Service uses the following Google/Firebase services, each of which may collect device/usage information.
- Firebase Analytics — Analytics data collection is currently disabled, so app usage statistics are not collected. (The SDK is included but does not transmit usage data.)
- Firebase Crashlytics — Crash diagnostic information (device state, stack traces). Does not include personally identifying values such as wallet addresses, seed phrases, or amounts.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) — Push notification delivery (push token)
2-4. Permissions Used
- Camera — for scanning QR codes (addresses/payments). The video is processed only on the device.
- Photo library — for importing QR images. Photos are used only for QR decoding on the device and are not uploaded.
- Biometrics (Face ID / fingerprint) — used only for local authentication on the device. Biometric data is managed by the OS and is not collected by the Company.
- Notifications — to display transaction/payment alerts.
※ The website (aqonwallet.com) does not use cookies or other automatic collection devices of its own.
Information We Do Not Collect
At sign-up, the Company does not collect your name, email address, national ID number, phone number, location data, or contacts (address book). (Because the Service uses wallet-signature-based authentication, it does not collect email addresses or passwords.) (However, information you voluntarily enter into chat, profile, etc. is processed within the scope of that feature.)
Purpose of Use
Collected information is used solely for: ① providing wallet/send/receive/payment features, ② transaction/security notifications, ③ in-app chat and user search, and ④ incident response, service improvement, and fraud prevention.
Third-Party Provision and Processing Consignment
- The Company does not sell or provide users' information to third parties for commercial purposes.
- To operate the Service, the Company entrusts certain processing to Google LLC (Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics/Cloud Messaging).
- Due to the nature of blockchain transactions, wallet addresses and transaction history are recorded on the TRON public ledger and can be viewed by anyone. This is an intrinsic property of the blockchain that the Company cannot control or delete.

Retention and Destruction
- On-device information: destroyed immediately when the app is deleted or the "Remove Wallet" feature is used.
- Server information: when a user performs wallet removal (device unbind), binding/push-token and related information is unlinked and deleted. Additional server-side data deletion may be requested via the method in Article 8.
- Retention period: the Company retains information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, and upon a user's request for account withdrawal, wallet removal, or data deletion, destroys it without delay, except where there is a retention obligation under applicable law.
- Where there is a legal retention obligation, information is kept for that period and then destroyed.
- Destruction timing by item

| Handle/profile · chat messages | Upon completion of a deletion request |
| Terms / privacy consent records | After data deletion, retained only within the scope required by applicable law for dispute handling, then destroyed |
| Access / authentication logs | Retained up to 1 year from collection, then destroyed |
- Destruction method: electronic files are deleted in a manner that prevents recovery or reproduction; printed materials are shredded or incinerated.
