Privacy policy

About this policy

This policy explains how Qwap handles information when you use the exchange, connect a wallet, and manage your analytics preferences.

Using the exchange

Qwap is an interface for viewing pools and submitting blockchain transactions through your wallet. Your browser contacts the configured QMS RPC, exchange API, and block explorer services to display balances, pools, prices, positions, and transaction status. These requests can include public wallet addresses, contract addresses, and transaction identifiers. Service providers also receive connection information such as your IP address.

Connecting a wallet can involve your wallet provider and Reown/WalletConnect. ENS name lookups can contact ethereum.reth.rs. Wallet connection state is stored using wagmi cookies; theme, splash, and other interface preferences use browser storage. Rejecting Google Analytics does not disable the exchange or these functional connections.

Transactions you authorise are sent to the blockchain. Blockchain records are public and may be permanent. Withdrawing analytics consent does not reverse a transaction or remove public blockchain records.

Optional Google Analytics

Where enabled, Qwap uses Google Analytics 4 only after you select Accept analytics. It measures page visits and feature interactions, including wallet connection actions and transaction outcomes, with browser/device information and cookie identifiers. This optional processing relies on your consent. Google receives network information when your browser contacts its services.

Before acceptance, and after rejection, Qwap does not load the Google Analytics script or send analytics events. Interactions before acceptance are discarded. The app sends sanitised page paths without query strings, URL fragments, or blockchain addresses, and does not intentionally send your wallet address as an analytics identifier. Advertising consent remains denied, and Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled in the app configuration.

Google Analytics uses _ga and _ga_* cookies. The app configures a maximum cookie lifetime of 180 days without renewal on each visit. Browser restrictions may shorten this. This cookie lifetime is separate from how long Google retains analytics data.

Your consent choice

You can accept or reject analytics without losing access to Qwap. Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change your choice. Rejecting after acceptance stops app analytics, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies, and reloads the page to stop the running tracker. Withdrawal affects future collection; it does not automatically delete data already collected.

Your browser stores your choice, a timestamp, and the consent version under qwap:analytics-consent for up to 180 days. An expired or outdated choice requires a new decision. Choices apply to this browser and website origin; other sites, domains, browsers, or devices have their own choices. If the choice cannot be stored, analytics stays off on this page.

Recipients, transfers, and retention

The relevant recipients can include Google (when analytics is enabled and accepted), Reown/WalletConnect, your wallet provider, the ENS RPC service at ethereum.reth.rs, and the operators of QMS RPC, API, explorer, and hosting services. The exchange uses its own RPC nodes and DEX backend. A link or attribution to another service alone does not establish that your browser sends it data.

Qwap’s web app, backend, faucet, explorer, and databases are hosted on AWS in Frankfurt, Germany. Chain and RPC nodes are hosted on AWS in Stockholm, Sweden. Third-party services may process information in other locations.

Cluster ingress and DEX application logs, which can include IP addresses, are retained for 30 days in Loki. RPC access logs are retained for 14 days in Loki and on the nodes. Container logs on each node are limited by size to five 10 MiB files; their duration therefore varies with log volume. Database backups are retained for 7 days. Public blockchain data can still be personal data when it relates to an identifiable person.

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or receive a copy of your personal data, object to processing, and complain to a data protection authority. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to Qwap and how information is handled. If analytics purposes or consent information materially change, we will ask you to make a new analytics choice.
