What Nova says publicly it does not receive, store, or keep a copy of.

What Nova does not have

Privacy in Nova is not only a data policy. It is also a product architecture point. This page summarizes what Nova already says publicly about the secrets it does not keep.

Updated:

In short

  • Nova says publicly that it does not have the user's password.
  • Nova says publicly that it does not have the user's .novakey file.
  • Nova says publicly that it does not have the user's BIP39 seed.
  • Nova says it cannot recover the wallet without those pieces.

What Nova publishes today

In the Portuguese privacy policy, Nova says it does not receive, store, transmit, or keep a copy of three central items:

  • the user’s password
  • the .novakey file
  • the BIP39 seed

What changes because of that

That architecture has practical consequences:

  1. Nova cannot recover the user’s wallet.
  2. Nova cannot move the user’s balance.
  3. Nova is not a single point of failure for possession of funds.
