# How to Get Your Address from Trust wallet

**Trust Wallet** is a [**non-custodial**](https://wiki.walletium.net/knowledge-base/glossary#non-custodial) wallet, giving you control over your **private keys** and, consequently, your funds. The app secures access to your assets through a [**12-word recovery phrase**](https://wiki.walletium.net/knowledge-base/glossary#recovery-phrase) that **encapsulates all your private keys**. While **Trust Wallet** does not provide a direct feature to export individual **private keys**, they can be derived using your recovery phrase.

To access the private key for a specific [**address**](https://wiki.walletium.net/knowledge-base/glossary#address), start by copying your recovery phrase from **Trust Wallet**. Since the app **does not include built-in tools** for extracting individual private keys, users must rely on third-party tools or methods, which may involve potential security risks.
