# How you control your data |
|||
|
|||
When you use a Blockstack decentralized application (DApp), the data that you |
|||
enter into that application, photos, documents, and more is something you own |
|||
and control. Traditional applications such as Instagram or PayPal store your |
|||
data _on their corporate servers_. |
|||
|
|||
Blockstack DApps do not allow applications to store your data on the |
|||
application's corporate servers. Instead, you store your data with a _storage |
|||
provider_ you choose. A storage provider gives you personal storage for your |
|||
application data. |
|||
|
|||
If you want to walk away from a particular DApp, there’s no need even to export |
|||
your data. You simply stop using the DApp and it no longer can read or modify |
|||
your data. And if you want to start using a different DApp with the same data, |
|||
you can. |
|||
|
|||
## Understand storage providers |
|||
|
|||
The Blockstack Ecosystem provides a technology for data storage called, Gaia. |
|||
Gaia is _storage hub_ technology for storing application data. A storage |
|||
provider is simply an organization that implemented Gaia and is providing |
|||
storage hubs for users. Any organization or person can create a Gaia storage hub |
|||
and become a storage provider. |
|||
|
|||
These providers host data in one or more existing storage systems of their |
|||
choice. These storage systems are typically cloud storage systems such as |
|||
Amazon, Dropbox, iCloud or Azure to name a few. |
|||
|
|||
Users that create an identity in the Blockstack Browser are given a choice of |
|||
which data storage provider to use. Blockstack itself runs a Gaia storage hub and acts |
|||
as a storage provider. The default choice is the Blockstack-run storage hub. |
|||
|
|||
Every provider will store your data at a particular address or URL. These |
|||
addresses look similar to any address you put in your web browser. When you log |
|||
into a DApp, you are giving that the application the ability to save |
|||
data to the URL on your behalf. |
|||
|
|||
## Current limitations of data storage |
|||
|
|||
The following are limitations of the current system. |
|||
|
|||
* You cannot move your storage from one provider to another. |
|||
* You cannot store your data on your own computer. |
|||
|
|||
Blockstack is always seeking to expand Gaia's capabilities. These limitations |
|||
will disappear as they are overcome by new Gaia features. |

# Setup Stacks wallet |
|||
|
|||
You use the Stacks Wallet software to generate a unique address for storing your |
|||
Stacks tokens. This section teaches you how to install and verify your Stacks |
|||
token wallet and contains the following sections: |
|||
|
|||
Use this procedure if you are a Blockstack investor in the Blockstack Genesis |
|||
block. |
|||
|
|||
During you wallet download, you are at risk of a man-in-the-middle attack (as an |
|||
example) from hackers interested in stealing your tokens or your other |
|||
information. To protect yourself from this type of attack, you should verify |
|||
your downloaded wallet software before you install it. Verification confirms |
|||
that you received the software signed by Blockstack PBC. |
|||
|
|||
## Do not lose your Stacks tokens |
|||
|
|||
When you create a wallet you receive a _seed phrase_. With one very important |
|||
exception, a seed phrase is similar to a banking pin in that it gives you |
|||
access to your wallet and the tokens it contains. The exception is, that if you |
|||
lose your seed phrase you can never access your wallet or the tokens it contains |
|||
ever again. |
|||
|
|||
{% include warning.html content="Losing a seed phrase is final and destructive. |
|||
Blockstack does not keep a copy of your seed. Blockstack cannot give you a new |
|||
seed, get your access to your wallet, or return your tokens if you lose your |
|||
seed phrase." %} |
|||
|
|||
Keep your seed phrase secret. Just as with a banking pin, anyone that knows or |
|||
steals your seed phrase can access your tokens. |
|||
|
|||
For this reason, you should keep your seed phrase safe. You should write your |
|||
seed phrase down and store it in at least two locations. A safe or lock box is a |
|||
good location. You can also store it online in a password manager. |
|||
|
|||
## Before you start |
|||
|
|||
You link your wallet with a Coinleist account. Before you begin, make sure that |
|||
you have [an account with CoinList](https://coinlist.co/register). You must |
|||
create this account yourself. |
|||
|
|||
## Mac OSX: Download, verify, and install on Mac OSX |
|||
|
|||

|||
