LBRY does provide a wallet syncing and backup mechanism to allow seamless access across multiple devices. The backup service ensures that a wallet can be retrieved by the user through their LBRY account in case they lose access to their local copy.

## How do I use LBRY anonymously? {#anonymous}
To use LBRY in a fully anonymous way, we recommend the LBRY Desktop application. To disable tracking features, you’ll want to disable the `Share Diagnostic Data` option from the Settings page (cog in the top right of the app). Also, you’ll want to skip providing an email and use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect your IP address. This will still allow you use blockchain related features like retrieving content data, publishing, purchasing, tipping, and other transactions. Depending on VPN features and network configuration, hosting data currently may not be possible but we are looking into techniques to allow this in the future.
To use LBRY in a private way, we recommend the LBRY Desktop application. By default, the LBRY Desktop app will not share account or analytics data with LBRY, Inc. or third-parties without specifically being enabled.
For a maximally private experience, you should also use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect your IP address. This will allow you use features like retrieving content data, publishing, purchasing, tipping, and other transactions anonymously. Depending on VPN features and network configuration, hosting data currently may not be possible, but this is an area of active development.
Note that if using LBRY anonymously or privately you are not eligible for [lbry.tv rewards](https://lbry.com/faq/rewards).
## Where is the account and analytics data stored?
LBRY stores collected data on its own secured databases and ensures only authorized employees have access to this data. Google Analytics data is anonymized and protected by Google.
