Nexus Wallet Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-03-02
Nexus Wallet is a local-first browser extension wallet.
Data handling summary
- Nexus Wallet does not run a Nexus-controlled analytics backend for wallet activity.
- Wallet vault data is stored locally in extension storage and encrypted with the user password.
- Private keys are handled locally for signing.
- Public blockchain/routing APIs may be called to fetch balances, token metadata, and swap routes.
What data may be stored locally
- Encrypted vault payloads
- Wallet labels and local preferences
- Watchlist entries and UI settings
- Token detection state for supported sites
What data may be sent to third-party APIs
To function, the extension can call selected public infrastructure providers (for example Solana RPC and Jupiter routing APIs). Requests may include public wallet addresses, token mints, quote parameters, and signed transaction payloads for broadcast.
Nexus Wallet does not intentionally transmit plaintext private keys to remote services.
Permissions rationale
- storage: save encrypted vault and settings
- sidePanel: show extension side panel UI
- tabs: detect supported terminal pages and sync token context
- host_permissions: access supported trading sites and RPC/quote endpoints
User control
Users can remove local extension data by uninstalling the extension or clearing extension storage from browser extension settings.
