The short version
When you sign in, your login credentials go to a cryptographic service — not to us. We only ever receive a pseudonymous wallet address. We never see your name, email, or Google account.
The problem with health platforms
Most health apps ask you to create an account with your name and email. That means someone — the company, their advertisers, or anyone who gains access to their database — can connect your health searches and experiences to you personally.
WikiRemedy was built differently from the start.
How your anonymous identity works
When you sign in with Google or email, your login credentials never reach WikiRemedy. Instead they go to a cryptographic service called Web3Auth, which uses them to generate a unique wallet address — a string like 0xa3f2...8c91. That wallet address is the only thing WikiRemedy ever receives.
This means:
- We never see your name
- We never see your email address
- We never see your Google account
- Two different WikiRemedy users could share the same Google account — we would have no way of knowing
Your wallet address is permanent and unique. The same login always produces the same address, so your history follows you across sessions. But the address itself contains no personal information.
What we store
We store only what is needed to make WikiRemedy work:
That is the complete list. Nothing else.
What we never store
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your location
- Your IP address
- Your device information
- Your browsing history
- Any information about your actual identity
Who can see your data
Other users see your ratings and comments attributed to your truncated wallet address (e.g. 0xa3f2...8c91). They cannot identify you from this.
WikiRemedy sees your wallet address and contribution history. We cannot connect this to your real identity.
No one else. We do not sell, share or license your data to any third party — including pharmaceutical companies, supplement brands or advertisers.
Your data is yours
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting contact@wikiremedy.org.
We will remove your wallet address, attempts, ratings and saved remedies within 30 days. Anonymised aggregate scores (e.g. a remedy's overall community score) cannot be retroactively removed as they contain no personally identifiable information.
Cookies and your device
WikiRemedy uses a single session cookie to keep you logged in. We use no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party analytics.
Your onboarding status and login state are stored in your browser's local storage — they never leave your device.
A note on blockchain
Some people hear “wallet address” and think of cryptocurrency. WikiRemedy has nothing to do with cryptocurrency or blockchain transactions. The wallet address is simply a cryptographic identifier — a very secure way of generating a unique anonymous ID. No cryptocurrency is involved and no financial information is ever used or stored.
