Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to fomo ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how information is handled when you use the fomo desktop application for macOS and Windows, as well as our website at https://www.fomodesktop.app.

Key Principle: fomo is designed with a privacy-first mindset. We never have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or unencrypted local data. You retain full self-custody of your crypto assets.

2. Information We Collect

We minimize data collection to only what is necessary to operate, maintain, and improve our software and services:

Self-Custodial Wallet Data: All wallet keys and cryptographic secrets remain encrypted locally on your device. We do not transmit or store your private keys on our servers.
Usage & Interaction Data: We collect aggregated usage telemetry (such as feature usage, app launches, and performance metrics) to diagnose bugs and improve app stability.
Website & Download Analytics: When visiting our website, we collect anonymous interaction statistics (e.g. download button clicks, operating system type) via Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Vercel Analytics.
Technical Device Information: Standard technical details such as your operating system version, app version, and general network region may be logged during automated updates or network API requests.

3. How We Use Information

We use the minimal information collected for the following legitimate business purposes:

To deliver, maintain, and update the fomo desktop application.
To monitor application performance, system health, and resolve technical issues.
To evaluate website conversion rates and user acquisition channels.
To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website utilizes privacy-preserving cookies and tracking tags for measurement purposes:

Google Analytics 4: Used to understand site visits and download metrics. GA4 anonymizes IP addresses and does not store personal identifiable information.
Vercel Analytics: Used for real-time web performance diagnostics and page speed analytics.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may disclose information only under the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: Trusted infrastructure and hosting partners (such as Vercel and RPC node providers) who perform technical operations on our behalf under strict confidentiality.
Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or valid governmental subpoena to protect the rights, property, or safety of fomo, our users, or the public.

6. Security & Storage

We employ industry-standard administrative, physical, and cryptographic security measures. Your wallet credentials remain client-side. Communication between the app and blockchain nodes occurs over encrypted HTTPS/WSS protocols.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, or deletion of telemetry data associated with your IP address or session. You may also opt out of browser analytics by configuring your browser's "Do Not Track" headers or disabling cookies.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date."
