Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

This policy explains exactly what data Defitax collects, why we collect it, and what we do (and don't do) with it. We tried to keep it short and honest.

1. Data We Collect

Wallet addresses

When you sign in or add a wallet, we store your public wallet address. This is how we identify your account and fetch your transaction history. We support EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism) and Solana. Authentication is via Solana wallet signing.

Transaction data

We fetch your on-chain transaction history from public blockchain APIs (Etherscan for EVM chains, Helius for Solana). This data is already publicly available on the blockchain—we simply organize it. We also store any CEX (centralized exchange) CSV files you upload.

Price data

We look up historical token prices from CryptoCompare, CoinGecko, and DexScreener to calculate your cost basis and gains/losses. This price data is cached on our servers but is not personal to you.

Calculated reports

Cost basis lots, gain/loss calculations, and generated tax documents are stored on our servers so you can access them across sessions.

AI Tax Agent conversations

If you use the AI Tax Agent, your questions and relevant transaction data are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. Wallet addresses are included in the context but no personal identity is attached. Anthropic states they do not use API inputs to train models. Conversation history (last 20 messages) is stored on our servers. You can avoid any data being sent to Anthropic by not using the AI Agent feature.

Payment records

We record which plan you purchased and for which tax year. Payments are made with USDC on Solana—we store the on-chain transaction signature for verification. No card numbers, billing addresses, or personal financial details are collected.

Country code

When you sign in, we derive your country from your IP address for internal quality assurance and to understand which tax jurisdictions to prioritize. We store only the two-letter country code (e.g. "US", "DE") — not your IP address.

Authentication tokens

We use JWT (JSON Web Token) session tokens stored in your browser to keep you signed in. These expire after 30 days.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

  • No email address — we use wallet-based auth, not email
  • No passwords — you sign a cryptographic message with your wallet instead
  • No real name or identity — unless you choose to set a display name
  • No phone number
  • No IP address storage — we derive your country code at login for internal quality assurance but do not store your IP address
  • No private keys or seed phrases — ever
  • No tracking cookies or third-party analytics — no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no ad trackers

3. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used for one purpose: generating your tax reports.

  • Wallet addresses → fetch your transaction history from blockchain APIs
  • Transaction data → classify trades, calculate cost basis and PnL
  • Price data → value your transactions in your chosen base currency
  • Reports → present your data in tax-ready formats (CSV, PDF forms)
  • Payment records → unlock paid features for the correct tax year

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, marketing, or any purpose other than providing the Service to you.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Defitax:

  • Etherscan— fetches EVM transaction history across all supported chains. We send your wallet address to their API.
  • Helius— fetches Solana transaction history. We send your wallet address to their API.
  • CryptoCompare, CoinGecko & DexScreener— historical token price lookups. No personal data is sent—only token identifiers and timestamps.
  • Anthropic (Claude API)— powers the AI Tax Agent. When you use the agent, your questions and relevant transaction data (including wallet addresses, but no personal identity) are sent to Anthropic for processing. Anthropic's privacy policy applies. They state they do not use API inputs to train models. This only applies if you use the AI Agent feature.
  • Solana Blockchain— USDC payments are processed on-chain. Transaction signatures are publicly visible on the Solana blockchain.

We do not share your data with any other third parties. No ad networks, no data brokers, no analytics platforms.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on a dedicated server in Europe. The database is not accessible from the public internet—only the application can reach it. All connections to Defitax are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure. Since we use wallet-based authentication, the security of your account depends on the security of your wallet.

6. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Transaction data and reports are retained so you can reference prior tax years.

If you stop using Defitax, your data sits on our server until you request deletion. We do not actively monitor or process dormant accounts.

7. Your Rights

You can:

  • Access your data — everything we have is visible in your dashboard
  • Export your data — download your transaction history and reports as CSV
  • Delete your account — email contact@defitax.ai and we will permanently delete all your data within 30 days
  • Remove individual wallets — deleting a wallet from your dashboard removes its transaction data

8. Blockchain Data Is Public

Your on-chain transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain regardless of whether you use Defitax. We do not publish any additional information about your wallet activity. We simply read what is already public and organize it for you.

9. Children

Defitax is not intended for use by anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify active users.
