# Private tags
Private tags help customize your Quaiscan instance to track addresses and transactions that are important to you. You can track specific addresses, either EOAs (Externally Owned Addresses) or smart contracts, as well as group and organize specific transactions.
Use the private tags feature to add your own **address tags** and **transaction tags**. These will be viewable on your instance of Quaiscan only.
When logged in, a small grey tag is added with the selected name to any specified addresses or transactions. You can also add emojis 😁 for easy identification.
Use cases might include tags for specific wallet accounts (EOAs) of interest, Gnosis safe multisig wallets to highlight, tags for specific applications, tags for specific transaction types, tokens, NFTs etc.
