Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Bitcoin Signet Faucet handles faucet records, local transaction data, and requests to external services.

Effective date: September 18, 2026

Information We Process

When you request Signet sats, the faucet stores your submitted address, amount, request status, request time, transaction ID when broadcast, and IP address. These records support payouts, the five-request limit per address or IP over 24 hours, and abuse prevention. Server access logs also record request metadata such as IP address, requested URL, user agent, time, and response status.

Recent request information is public: addresses, amounts, times, status, transaction IDs, and explorer links appear in the faucet history or status API. An address may look shortened on a page, but the full address is available in the API or link. IP addresses are not included in these public records. Broadcast transactions and their outputs are public on the Signet network.

Local Transaction Data

The Transaction Doctor parses pasted PSBTs and raw transactions in your browser. The UTXO Workshop performs its calculations locally. Pasting or importing data for local analysis does not upload that data to the faucet server. PSBTs can still contain sensitive information such as public keys, derivation paths, addresses, and transaction history; use public examples or test-only data.

A mempool.space lookup is a separate, optional action. When you choose it, your browser sends the transaction ID or address being queried directly to mempool.space, which also receives your IP address and normal browser request metadata. Local analysis does not require that lookup.

Wallet Data

The browser wallet derives keys and signs transactions locally. Its code does not send your passphrase or private key to the faucet server. Opening the wallet starts balance requests to mempool.space for the derived public address, with periodic refreshes while the wallet is open. Sending a transaction sends signed transaction bytes to that service for broadcast. These actions expose public wallet activity and your connection metadata to mempool.space, not your private key.

The wallet is for Signet testing only. Never enter mainnet keys, recovery phrases, or valuable wallet material. Local processing is not protection against compromised page scripts, browser extensions, or devices. See wallet safety.

Faucet Abuse Protection

The faucet uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check requests for automated abuse. Its widget contacts Cloudflare from the faucet page, and the server sends the resulting token to Cloudflare for validation. Cloudflare processes technical signals including IP address, browser information, and the site's origin. This check is separate from analytics. See the Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

Analytics and Browser Storage

Google Analytics loads automatically on site pages, including the wallet and transaction tools, to measure site usage. Google may receive your browser IP address, page URLs, referrers, browser and device information, cookies or similar identifiers, and interaction data. See how Google uses data from partner sites.

The site does not add custom analytics events containing passphrases, private keys, or pasted transaction data. Do not put secrets in page URLs or use real wallet material on this test site. Third-party page scripts share the page's execution environment; local processing does not isolate wallet inputs from those scripts.

External Links

Following a link to an explorer, documentation site, or wallet project takes you to a service operated by someone else. That service receives your connection metadata and any address or transaction identifier included in the link, and its own privacy policy applies.

Retention and Contact

Faucet records are kept in the service database; the application does not automatically delete them when the daily rate-limit window ends. Blockchain records cannot be removed by the site operator.
