Understanding Data Storage Rules and Account Recovery Limitations
Your security and privacy are our top priorities. To maintain the highest level of security, we have implemented strict data storage rules that ensure your personal information and account details remain under your control.
Here's why we cannot assist you with recovering accounts or changing passwords on your behalf:
1. Non-Custodial Account Structure
World App operates as a non-custodial service, which means that we do not have access to your private keys, passwords, or any other sensitive information associated with your account. This ensures that only you have control over your account, but it also means that if you lose your password or private keys, we cannot recover them for you.
Key Points:
- Your Keys, Your Control: Since we don’t store your private keys or passwords, you are the only one who can manage access to your account.
- No Backdoor Access: Our system is designed without any backdoor or administrative access to user accounts, making it impossible for us to intervene directly.
2. Security and Privacy
We adhere to a strict policy of never storing or having access to users' passwords or private keys. This is to ensure that your data remains secure and private, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Key Points:
- Zero-Knowledge Security: Our system operates on a zero-knowledge basis, meaning we don’t store any information that could be used to access your account.
- Data Minimization: We collect only the data necessary to provide our services, and none of this data includes your passwords or private keys.
3. User Responsibility
Because of our non-custodial model, it’s essential that you take responsibility for securing your own account information. We strongly recommend enabling all available security features, such as phone number verification and cloud backups, to help protect your account.
4. What You Can Do
If you find yourself locked out of your account or unable to remember your password, here’s what you can do:
- Password Recovery: If you have set up a cloud backup, you can recover your account by following the backup flow.
- Verification Through Orb: Our team is working on implementing Orb verification as an additional method for account recovery in the future.
- Start Fresh: If recovery isn’t possible due to missing security steps, you may need to start with a new account.
