NEVER GIVE THEM TO ANYBODY. Your wallet seed controls your keys, your keys control your Bitcoin. Don't keep them online. Don't send them online. Don't take a digital picture of them. Keep them offline. Remember - '''NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR BITCOIN!''' 

Bisq has no access to your Bitcoin or your private data. It is your personal responsability to control and back up your funds.
