Overview
Degen Diary ("we," "our," or "the Service") is a trading journal application designed to help you track your trades and emotional patterns. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Privacy-First Design: We follow a local-first architecture. Your trade data is stored primarily on your device. Cloud sync is optional and designed to protect your privacy.
Information We Collect
Data You Provide
- Trade entries: Token, price, position size, outcome, and emotional state
- Alias/Username: A display name you choose (not your real name)
- Email address: Only if you create an account for cloud sync
- Wallet address: Only if you enable wallet sync feature (Pro/Elite)
- Chat messages: Messages you send to the AI coaching feature (Elite)
Automatically Collected Data
- Anonymous ID: A random identifier generated on your device
- Device information: Device type, operating system, and browser type (for responsive experience and security)
- IP address: Collected for security purposes, rate limiting, and fraud prevention
- Error logs: Anonymous crash reports to improve stability (with text and media masked)
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Real names or government ID
- Financial account information or bank details
- Precise GPS location data
- Browsing history outside our app
- Data from other apps on your device
How We Use Your Data
- Provide the Service: Store and display your trades, calculate analytics, track streaks
- Personalization: Show relevant insights based on your trading patterns
- Gamification: Calculate XP, achievements, and leaderboard rankings
- AI Coaching: Generate personalized trading insights, coaching messages, and weekly plans (Elite tier)
- Email Communications: Send trading digests and notifications you have opted into
- Security: Rate limiting, fraud prevention, and anomaly detection
- Service improvement: Aggregate anonymous data to improve features
We never sell your data to third parties or use it for advertising.
AI-Powered Features
AI Disclosure: Certain features of Degen Diary use artificial intelligence to provide coaching, pattern analysis, trading plans, and insights. AI-generated responses are created by third-party AI language models, not by humans.
What Data Is Processed by AI
- Trade data: Token names, entry/exit prices, position sizes, outcomes, and emotional states
- Trading metrics: Win rate, PnL, risk/reward ratios, and streak information
- Chat messages: Conversations with the AI coaching feature
- Detected patterns: Emotional and behavioral trading patterns
Your email, real name, and wallet address are NOT sent to the AI provider. Only anonymized trading data and metrics are shared for analysis.
How AI Data Is Handled
- AI features are processed by a third-party AI provider on their servers
- The AI provider processes data per-request and does not retain your data for training purposes under their standard API terms
- We log AI usage internally (user ID, model used, token count) for cost tracking and rate limiting, but we do NOT log the prompts or responses
- AI features are available only to Elite tier subscribers (and select features for Pro)
- You can opt out of AI features at any time by not using them or adjusting your coaching preferences in Settings
Important Limitations
- AI-generated insights are NOT financial advice
- AI responses may contain inaccuracies and should be verified against your own data
- The AI coaching feature is a tool for self-reflection, not a replacement for professional guidance
Data Storage & Security
Local-First Architecture
- Primary storage: Your browser's local storage (on your device)
- Cloud sync: Optional, uses secure database with row-level isolation
- Encryption: All cloud data transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
- Isolation: Each user can only access their own data
