Collection
What we collect
VYTH reads only what it needs to deliver behavioral guard-rails and track your progress.
Trade Interaction Data
When VYTH detects a supported trade flow, it may collect:
- Broker name, ticker, and trade action
- Share count and price at interception
- Estimated trade amount
- Decision outcome (reconsidered or proceeded)
Conviction + Savings Data
When you use journaling features, VYTH may store:
- Conviction score (1-10)
- Written reasoning text
- Optional AI classification
- Savings journal entries and totals
Account Data (Optional)
If you create an account for cross-device sync:
- Email address (login and recovery)
- Username (display only)
- Password (hashed server-side, never stored in plaintext)
Creating an account is entirely optional.
Settings + Telemetry
VYTH stores extension state locally:
- Sensitivity level preference
- Telemetry opt-in/out preference
- Daily intervention counter
- Pseudonymous extension user ID
Usage
How we use your data
Collected data powers your guard-rails, journal, and product reliability. Nothing else.
Wisdom Checks
Trade context is used to detect panic selling or FOMO buying and show relevant wisdom before a final order goes out.
Journal + Tracking
Savings, conviction, and behavioral features use the data you generate when you interact with the extension.
Cross-Device Sync
If you create an account, your conviction journal, savings history, and insights sync across any Chrome browser where you're signed in.
Reliability
Optional telemetry helps improve extension quality. Website analytics on vythguard.com are separate from trade data.
