DashPay Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DashPay respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your data when you use our Android app.  Dash is decentralized. There is no single, centralized server that would hold your private data.

2. Requested permissions

  • Camera: Allows for scanning QR codes and for taking profile pictures. Immediately after parsing a QR code, the image is deleted from memory.  Profile pictures can be saved to the Gravatar, Imgur or Google Drive platforms or a public URL of the user’s choosing and are stored in the app.
  • External storage: to be able to restore from backups. No other file types are accessed.
  • Full network access: Enables the app to connect to the Dash network and fetch auxiliary data like exchange rates and to connect to 3rd party services that are integrated with the app.
  • Location: Location data is used to find nearby merchants and ATM’s that accept Dash.  Location history is not stored in the app.
  • Push Notifications: Messages are sent periodically to remind users to upgrade their app, announce new features and occasionally for promotional content. Less than 1 message per month is sent on average per year.
