Data & Key Transparency

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 2026 • Non-Custodial Web3 Interface

Zero Key Custody

Steem One never transmits, logs, or stores your private Steem keys on any backend server. All cryptographic signing happens locally in your browser.

Public Ledger Nature

Actions broadcast to the Steem blockchain (posts, comments, votes, transfers) are permanently recorded on a public, decentralized ledger.

Local Browser Storage

Session preferences such as your active Steem username and Day/Night theme (`steem_theme`) are stored strictly in your device's `localStorage`.

01 Overview & Non-Custodial Architecture

Steem One operates as a client-side web interface that connects directly to public Steem blockchain Remote Procedure Call (RPC) nodes (such as https://api.steemit.com). We do not maintain centralized user databases for passwords or private keys.

02 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To provide a seamless browsing and signing experience, Steem One uses your browser's native localStorage and sessionStorage for:

  • Authentication State: Remembering your public Steem username (steem_user) and login method (steem_session).
  • UI Appearance Preferences: Saving your chosen Day or Night display theme (steem_theme).
  • Drafts & Local Settings: Temporarily retaining article drafts in the post composer so your work is not lost if you refresh the page.

Clicking Disconnect Account in the profile menu immediately clears your active session data from your browser.

03 Public Blockchain Data

Please be aware that the Steem blockchain is a public, immutable distributed ledger. When you broadcast a post, comment, upvote, downvote, profile metadata update, witness vote, or token transfer, that transaction is permanently recorded on-chain and visible to anyone worldwide across all Steem explorers and interfaces. Neither Steem One nor any witness can delete or alter historical blockchain records.

04 Third-Party Services & RPC Nodes

When you browse Steem One, your browser makes direct HTTPS requests to public Steem API nodes, image proxies (steemitimages.com), and market price feeds (such as Binance or CoinGecko public APIs for live STEEM/SBD market rates). Standard network metadata (such as your IP address and user-agent string) is transmitted directly to those public endpoints as part of normal web traffic.
