## FAQ

### Where are my Bitcoin.de API keys sent?

rotki is a local application: your Bitcoin.de API key is stored on your computer and used to sign each request, which goes directly from your machine to Bitcoin.de's API. No rotki-operated server ever sees the key or the request.

### Can rotki trade or withdraw on Bitcoin.de?

No. rotki only requests read scopes and never sends trade or withdrawal calls.
