Last updated: January 2026
1. Information We Collect
Muscadine ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services, which include risk curation for non-custodial vaults, Bitcoin security guidance, DeFi protocol access, and educational content:

- Secure storage of collected information with access controls
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
Important Security Reminder:
We never request your wallet private keys, seed phrases, or passwords. Never share these credentials with anyone, including Muscadine. Your digital assets remain in your control through non-custodial smart contracts.
