Your privacy matters

VYTH minimizes data collection while delivering real-time behavioral guard-rails. We never access your brokerage credentials or financial accounts.

🔒

No Credential Access

We never collect brokerage usernames, passwords, account numbers, or balances.

🛡️

Minimal Data Use

Core features send only limited trade context, savings data, and optional telemetry to VYTH services.

👤

Optional Accounts

Create an account to sync progress across devices. Requires only email and password. Works the same without one.

You're in Control

Disable telemetry, delete your account, uninstall the extension, or request data deletion at any time.

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

What we never collect

VYTH deliberately avoids the most sensitive financial data.

🚫

We never collect brokerage usernames or passwords.

🚫

No Account Numbers

We never collect account numbers, SSNs, or government IDs.

🚫

No Balances

We never collect full account balances or portfolio holdings.

🚫

No Trade Authority

VYTH never places or modifies trades on your behalf.

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.

Your privacy rights

You control your data. Delete it, export it, or disable collection at any time.

Delete Everything

Request deletion of your account and all backend-stored data. Permanently removed within 30 days.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data in transit and at rest.
