v1.0.6

Announcing Verus Mobile v1.0.6 - Mobile Wallet for Android and iOS

This is considered an important update that fixes an incorrect fee calculation causing transaction failures when sending ERC20s on Ethereum. Although it is extremely unlikely that this could result in fee overpayment, we recommend that all Verus Mobile users update to v1.0.6 before continuing to send transactions on Ethereum. This affects sends that stay on the Ethereum network, and does not affect cross-chain sends to or from Verus.

Installation Instructions

Privacy and Permissions

No personal data is stored or collected by the Verus Mobile application, except as necessary for authentication. All authentication data is stored locally.

The Verus Mobile application uses the following permissions for the following reasons:
Internet connectivity:
To fetch and post data and communicate with the blockchain through Electrum servers, the app requires internet connectivity. The signing of transactions is done locally and private keys are not shared over any network.

Access to system alerts:
To notify the user of important ongoing events while using the Verus Mobile application, the Verus Mobile application uses the system alert framework on both iOS and Android.

Camera and Audio access:
The Verus Mobile application's VerusPay QR code scanner is designed to read and parse VerusQR codes, or VerusPay invoices through the camera, and requires camera access to work properly. The user will be prompted to allow camera access upon first opening the VerusPay feature. Due to the current constraints of the library being used for VerusPay, the user will be asked to enable audio by default when starting VerusPay for the first time. Choosing to disable audio should in no way affect VerusPay's functionality.

Permission to vibrate the mobile device:
The Verus Mobile application uses the vibration feature of the mobile device it is running on for VerusPay, in order to give feedback upon the scan of a QR code invoice.

Permission to read/write to phone memory:
The Verus Mobile application uses the mobile devices AsyncStorage memory storage to hold encrypted account data while the application isn't running.

This privacy policy applies to the version linking to this page. Future upgrades may amend this privacy policy without explicit notice to application users, and if so, will provide the new privacy policy or links to the new privacy policy as part of the upgraded version.
