Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-10-06

This page has not been reviewed by a lawyer. It describes what the site actually does, as plainly as we can.

The short version

Stellagate has no accounts, no database and no analytics. The check runs in your browser. We never receive the addresses you paste.

Who runs this site

Stellagate is an open-source project maintained by @jadonamite. For anything about your privacy, write to stellagate@namite.xyz.

What happens when you run a check

Your browser sends the address, and the asset if you gave one, straight to public Stellar services. Each of them sees your IP address and the request, as any website you visit would. They are:

• Horizon, run by the Stellar Development Foundation (horizon.stellar.org, or horizon-testnet.stellar.org on the test network), for account details and trustlines.
• The StellarExpert directory (api.stellar.expert), to see whether the account is a known exchange or flagged as unsafe.
• Stellar RPC on the test network (soroban-testnet.stellar.org), when you check a contract address there.
• For a name*domain address, that domain's stellar.toml file and the federation server it names.

We do not control these services. Their own privacy policies apply to what they log.

Hosting

The same site is served from two places: GitHub Pages (stellagate.github.io) and Vercel (stellagate.namite.xyz). Whichever you visit records your IP address and the pages you request, as described in the GitHub privacy statement and the Vercel privacy policy. We have not turned on Vercel's analytics or any other visitor reporting.

Links you share

After a check, the address and the details you entered appear in the page's web address, so you can share the result. Anyone you send that link to can see them. A secret key is never put there: if you paste one, the page clears it.

What is stored on your device

When you accept the privacy notice, your browser keeps a record of that choice, as one first-party cookie and two local storage values, so you are not asked again. Nothing else is stored. The cookie policy lists each one.

Children

The site is not aimed at children and collects nothing from anyone, so there is nothing to collect from a child.

Your rights

Because we hold no personal data, there is nothing for us to show you, correct or delete. If you think that is wrong, write to the address above and we will answer.

Changes

If this changes, for example if analytics are ever added, this page will say so first, with a new date at the top. The full history is in the project's public repository.
