Data protection & security

Blockpit does not hold any bitcoin, but it does see your entire transaction history. According to the provider, exchange API keys are connected with read-only permissions and stored encrypted. The services run on dedicated hardware in Austria rather than with cloud providers, and an external security firm regularly tests for vulnerabilities. Blockpit says it never asks for private keys or access to your wallet.^[6] Anyone who asks for your seed phraseGlossarySeed phrase (recovery phrase)A sequence of usually 12 or 24 words from which your wallet derives all its private keys. Anyone who knows the words has full access to your bitcoin – so they belong in an offline backup and never in anyone else’s hands.On the learning path: Stage 5 · Step 3 – Backing up your seed phrase →In the glossary →× in Blockpit’s name is trying to scam you.

For the import, only create API keys without trading or withdrawal permissions, and turn on two-factor login in Blockpit.^[6]

What to watch out for

• Check the data: transfers between your own wallets are not sales. If the software misreads them, the calculation is wrong.
• Not tax advice: Blockpit itself says the report does not replace individual tax advice.^[3] For larger amounts or special cases, a tax adviser with crypto experience can help. The rules for Germany are explained in Bitcoin & tax in Germany; for other countries, start with Bitcoin tax around Europe.
