# Safety & security

⚠️⚠️⚠️ **Your private key is the key to your wallet**, if you share or leak this you are handing over everything within your account.⚠️⚠️⚠️

**Private keys are encrypted and only accessible to the owner** (your telegram account - so ensure you practice strong security on your telegram account also!!!).

It is a best practice to only leave your trading balance in your bot wallets, you should regularly remove anything above what you need to trade, and store in cold storage or similar to minimize exposure and risk.
