### Privacy Score

Your Privacy Score reflects how much of your activity and assets remain private.

* Higher score = more privacy
* Lower score = more exposure

You also see how you compare globally:

* Example: *Top 17.34% globally*

### What affects your Privacy Score

Tap ;**How it’s calculated?'** to see the breakdown.

<figure><img src="/files/yoMHJyDCzbXhp0P168b8" alt="" width="352"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Your score is based on three factors:

#### 1. Auto-Shield enabled

If Auto-Shield is on:

* You receive a **baseline boost**
* Ensures consistent privacy behavior

#### 2. Private balance ratio

How much of your portfolio is private:

* More funds in Private account → higher score
* Fully public portfolio → lower score

#### 3. Private activity ratio

How you use your wallet:

* Private actions (Shield, Private Send, Private Swap) increase score
* Public-only usage lowers it

### Why this matters

* Privacy in crypto is not binary - it’s behavioral
* Your score reflects **how you actually use the wallet**, not just settings
* Helps you **improve habits**, not just toggle features
