ln.bot is wallet infrastructure for software. Most of our users are API clients, scripts, agents, and bots. This policy is written for the developers who deploy them.

What we collect

Account and wallet data. When you register, we create an account with its API keys and a recovery passphrase. For each wallet you create, we store its ID, name, creation time, Lightning addresses and any wallet key you make for it. If you back up with a passkey, we store the passkey's public credential. Registering asks for no name, email or other identifying information, so we don't know who you are unless you tell us.

Transaction data. Every invoice, payment, and transfer is recorded: amount, timestamp, status, destination, fees, and any memo or reference you attach. This is the ledger. We need it to operate the wallets.

Lightning address metadata. When someone pays a Lightning address hosted on ln.bot, their wallet's requests reach our servers with the usual request data: IP address, time and the payment amount. Our hosting provider keeps logs of these requests. We don't attempt to identify senders.

API request logs. We log API requests for operational purposes: endpoint, timestamp, response code, latency. Logs are retained for 90 days, then deleted. We don't log request bodies.

Analytics. We use Vercel Analytics on the website. It counts page views anonymously, without cookies, personal identifiers or tracking across sites. It also records a few anonymous events: the name of each command run in the website's console (not its arguments), when an API key is created or a wallet is backed up in the browser, and which install command was copied.

Keys in your browser. If you create or load a wallet on the website, its API keys are kept in your browser's local storage so the console and the wallet can use them. They stay on your device, and you can remove them with "Remove from this browser" or lnbot logout in the console.

What we don't collect

No names, emails, or identity documents
No KYC
No IP-to-wallet correlation beyond rate limiting
No tracking cookies
No third-party advertising or data sales
No behavioral profiling

How we use it

Transaction data operates the wallets: routing payments, tracking balances, settling invoices. API logs monitor service health and debug issues. Analytics tells us which docs pages people actually read.

We don't sell data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't build profiles.

Third parties

Lightning Network routing nodes. When a payment routes over Lightning, intermediate nodes see the payment amount and the next hop. They don't see the sender, the recipient, or the memo. This is how onion routing works, and not something we control or can change.

Infrastructure providers. The website is hosted on Vercel. API infrastructure runs on separate systems. Standard cloud provider data processing agreements apply.

Data retention

Transaction history is retained indefinitely: it's the wallet's ledger and required for balance integrity. API logs are retained for 90 days. Website analytics are anonymous and aggregated.

Deletion

To have a wallet closed, with its API keys and Lightning addresses removed, contact support@ln.bot. Transaction history that has already settled on the Lightning Network cannot be reversed: that's how Lightning works.

Jurisdiction and applicable law

This privacy policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Argentina, including Ley 25.326 (Protección de Datos Personales) and its regulatory framework.

If you're in a jurisdiction with its own data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have the standard rights those laws provide: access, correction, deletion. We'll honor reasonable requests regardless of where you are. Since most wallets have no identifying information attached, "your data" is effectively "your wallet's transaction history."

All matters relating to data processing, disputes, or complaints under this policy are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
