What Zectastic and Captastic do and don't do with your data

Short version: there's no account, no wallet connection, and nothing to sell. Anything you save, such as a watchlist or a portfolio, stays in your own browser. Most of what you see is fetched live from other people's public feeds, and this page explains exactly which ones, and what they can see.

◈ The short version

◈ What we store ourselves

The site keeps a small amount of information in your browser's local storage, on your own device. It is never sent to us, because there is no server of ours to send it to.

You can remove all of it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser. Doing so also erases your watchlist and portfolio, since no other copy exists.

That's the entire list. We don't collect names, emails, wallet addresses, transaction history, or device fingerprints, and we don't run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any similar tracker anywhere on the site.

◈ Third-party feeds this site uses

To keep prices, rankings, supply figures, and the shielded pool dashboard live, your browser fetches data directly from the services below. That means each one can see technical details like your IP address and request timing when your browser calls them, the same as visiting their site directly. Zectastic itself never sees or stores that data. A service is only contacted on the pages that use it.

Service
Used for
Their policy
CoinGecko

Live ZEC price, market cap, supply figures, the flippening leaderboard, and Captastic's top 100 ranking and project logos.

Public API, called directly from your browser every one to two minutes while a page is open.

Binance

Captastic's live prices and chart history, buys on the ZEC Map, and the prices in the Backwards Calculator.

Public market data and a live price stream, opened directly from your browser while one of those pages is open.

DexScreener

Prices for tokens you add to the Captastic portfolio by contract address.

Only contacted if you add such a token. The request names the token's address, about once a minute while the portfolio is open.

Kraken

The ZEC price on the homepage, and buys on the ZEC Map.

A live public price stream, opened directly from your browser while one of those pages is open.

Other exchanges

Buys shown on the ZEC Map: Coinbase, Gemini, Bitfinex, OKX, Bybit, Gate and Bitget.

Public trade streams, opened directly from your browser only while the ZEC Map is open.

Each exchange's own policy

ZecBlock

Swaps into ZEC shown in the shielded zone of the ZEC Map. Its older CipherScan address is used as a backup.

Public API, called from your browser every 30 seconds while the map is open. Only chain, token and size are used; addresses in the feed are ignored.

zkp.baby

The embedded Ironwood shielded-pool dashboard on the Learn page.

Loaded as an iframe, which may set its own cookies that Zectastic doesn't control or read.

DANCE.FM

The live audio stream behind the radio player and party mode.

Only connects when you press play, streaming directly from their server for as long as it plays.

Google Fonts

The typefaces used on every page.

Font files are loaded from Google when a page opens.

cdnjs and jsDelivr

The drawing code and world map outline for the ZEC Map.

Loaded once from these public file networks when the map opens.

GitHub Pages

Hosting. Every page of this site is delivered by GitHub.

Like any web host, GitHub can log technical details such as your IP address when a page loads.

◈ Captastic: top 100, watchlist and portfolio

Captastic shows the top 100 projects by market cap, and its portfolio can hold projects ranked up to 500. The ranking, supply figures and logos come from CoinGecko, and live prices and chart history come from Binance, both fetched directly by your browser.

Your watchlist and portfolio never leave your browser. The projects you mark and the amounts you type in are saved on your own device only. There is no account, and nothing is uploaded.

For projects in the top 500, the portfolio page asks the price services for the same general data whatever you hold, so they can't tell from its requests which projects are in your portfolio or how much you have. The one exception is a token you add yourself by its contract address: its price is requested by that address from DexScreener, which can then see which token your browser asks about, though never how much of it you hold. The watchlist page loads chart history for the projects on your list, so Binance can see which projects' charts your browser asks for, as it would if you looked them up there.

"Save backup file" writes your holdings to a file on your own device, and "Restore backup" reads that file back. The file goes nowhere else. Because nothing is stored online, your watchlist and portfolio don't follow you to another browser or device, and clearing your browser data removes them.

◈ The ZEC Map

While the map is open, your browser connects directly to the exchanges listed above to receive their public trade feeds. The map only receives data; it sends nothing about you beyond what any connection reveals, such as your IP address.

The places where buys appear are estimates based on the currency of each trade, not the location of any person. Swaps shown in the shielded zone use only the chain, token and size from the public swap feed.

◈ The game and its hall of fame

"Encrypt the money" runs entirely in your browser. The callsign you choose, your best score and your progress are kept on your own device and are not sent anywhere. There is no online scoreboard and no database.

The hall of fame shown in the game is a short list we keep by hand. It is filled from scores that players choose to post publicly on X with #EncryptTheMoney. If you never post, you never appear on it.

The share button opens a ready-made post on X only when you press it, and the post includes your callsign and score. Nothing is posted for you, and what you publish there is covered by X's own rules.

◈ The Backwards Calculator

The calculator runs in your browser. What you bought and how much you paid are never sent anywhere.

To find the prices, your browser asks Binance for the price on the date you picked and for today's price. If Binance can't be reached, it tries Coinbase and CoinGecko. Those services see the date and the usual technical details such as your IP address, nothing else.

The "Post on X" buttons open a ready-made post only when you press them. Nothing is posted for you.

◈ Card Duel and Events

Card Duel runs entirely in your browser and contacts no outside service. Your card collection is kept on your own device. The result you can copy at the end of a game goes nowhere unless you paste it somewhere yourself.

The events page contacts no outside service either. Its links open the organisers' own websites, which have their own privacy practices.

◈ The Flippening page

The flippening leaderboard pulls the same CoinGecko market data as the main tracker, plus a broader list of top coins for comparison. Party mode's confetti and screen effects run entirely in your browser and never leave your device. Starting party mode also starts the DANCE.FM stream described above.

◈ No wallets, no addresses

Zectastic never asks you to connect a wallet, paste an address, or sign anything. Nothing on this site can see your ZEC balance, your transaction history, or which pool your funds sit in. The Captastic portfolio only knows the amounts you type in by hand, and keeps them in your browser. If you're ever asked to connect a wallet on a page claiming to be Zectastic, that page isn't us.

◈ Children's privacy

Zectastic isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

◈ Changes to this page

As the site evolves, this page gets updated to match. Significant changes will be reflected in the date at the top. There's no mailing list to notify, since we don't collect emails to notify anyone with.
