Vizonator is a browser extension that serves as a blockchain wallet and Web3 provider for the VIZ blockchain. This privacy policy explains what data Vizonator collects, how it is used, and your rights.

In short: Vizonator does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Everything stays on your device.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using your browser's secure storage (chrome.storage.local or equivalent). This includes:

• Encrypted private keys — Your VIZ blockchain private keys (login, regular, memo, active) are encrypted with AES-GCM using a password you choose. The encryption key is derived from your password via SHA-256.
• Account settings — Language preference, dark mode setting, selected account.
• Trust rules — Your per-website approvals or refusals for operations requested by dApps.

No data is sent to any server operated by the Vizonator developers or any third party.

Network Communication

Vizonator communicates only with public VIZ blockchain API nodes to:

• Read account balances and blockchain state
• Broadcast signed transactions (awards, transfers, delegations, etc.)
• Query content metadata

The extension uses three public API endpoints:

• https://api.viz.world/
• https://node.viz.cx/
• https://viz.lexai.host/

These are public infrastructure operated by VIZ blockchain community members, not by the Vizonator developers. The extension measures latency to each node and selects the fastest for your requests.

What is transmitted: Only blockchain transaction data that you explicitly sign with your private key, and read-only queries about public blockchain state. Your private keys never leave your device — transactions are signed locally and only the signed result is broadcast.

What Vizonator Does NOT Do

• No analytics or tracking — There is no telemetry, crash reporting, or usage analytics.
• No data collection — Vizonator does not collect browsing history, IP addresses, or any personal information.
• No third-party servers — No data is sent to advertising networks, analytics services, or any server not operated by the VIZ blockchain community.
• No remote code loading — All code executed by Vizonator is bundled within the extension package. No scripts are loaded from remote URLs.

Page Access

When you visit supported websites (Twitter, YouTube, GitHub, Reddit, etc.), Vizonator may read publicly visible information from the page to display "Award" buttons for tipping content creators. This includes:

• Content author usernames (as displayed on the page)
• Post/video/comment IDs (as shown in the URL)

Vizonator does not read:

• Cookies or local storage
• Form inputs or passwords
• Private messages or non-public content
• Any data not already visible on the page

Your Control

• Lock/Unlock — You can lock the extension at any time, which encrypts all sensitive data in memory and requires your password to unlock.
• Delete accounts — You can remove any account from Vizonator, which deletes its keys from local storage.
• Revoke trust — You can clear per-website trust rules at any time.
• Uninstall — Removing the extension deletes all locally stored data.
