# Private Key Management

Any actions related to private keys are performed in **Abot.dog Cloud**, our dedicated Web App. Abot.dog Cloud ensures that your private keys are kept safe and never get leaked in Telegram chat logs. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Abot.dog Cloud - our Web App dedicated to private key management - can only be accessed through our Telegram bot. Access via Abot.dog X will come at a later time.
