# Privacy

The blockchain is transparent — a launch is public by nature, since a token and its mint are visible to anyone who looks. STONKFUNBOT isn't obliged to be a megaphone on top of that, and it's built not to be.

## What stays private

* **Your balance and address** are shown to you in your own dashboard, and nowhere else. A reply on a public surface — X, Farcaster — is built so it never carries them, even if you're the one asking.
* **What a launch cost you, or what you hold,** never appears in a public reply. Public copy on STONKFUNBOT is composed from a fixed, reviewed set of messages that simply don't contain this information — it isn't a filter trying to catch it after the fact.

## What's public by nature

* **A completed launch.** The token exists, its mint is on chain, and anyone can look it up. What's never disclosed is what it cost *you specifically*, or what you personally hold.
* **Market data.** Prices, market caps, and other figures anyone can read directly off the venue — answered through the [Terminal](/using-stonkfunbot/terminal.md) — are treated as public information, not as your position.

## Identity

Usernames and handles are display information — shown so a reply reads naturally — and are never used to determine account authority. Account resolution uses each provider's permanent, immutable identifier instead. See [Accounts & Wallets](/using-stonkfunbot/accounts-and-wallets.md).

## What we hold, and why

Operating your wallet requires holding its private key, encrypted at rest. That's custody, described plainly as such in [Accounts & Wallets](/using-stonkfunbot/accounts-and-wallets.md) — privacy here means your account details don't leak publicly, not that STONKFUNBOT has no access to them at all.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stonkfun.bot/understanding-the-system/privacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
