Privacy Policy

Last updated · 10 September 2026

This policy covers The Trenches, the browser extension distributed from ttrenche.com, and this website. It describes exactly what the extension stores, the few things it sends, and the things it never touches.

The short version.

Your trades, your positions and your history stay in your browser. We do not have accounts, analytics or advertising. We never see your wallet, your keys or your real balances — the extension cannot sign or send a transaction. What our server holds is a random installation ID activated by a Discord member, and, for the leaderboard, a daily summary of your simulated results (section 4).


1. What stays on your device

Everything you do in the simulator is written to your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) and stays there. We never receive it and cannot read it — the only exception is the daily total described in section 4. What stays local:

Deleting the extension, clearing your browser data or using a different browser profile erases this data permanently. We hold no copy of it, so we cannot restore it for you.

2. What the extension sends, and why

WhatWhereWhy
A random installation ID and a random secret, both generated on your device Our verification service (ttrenche-verify…workers.dev, hosted on Cloudflare) To check that this installation has been activated by a Discord member, and to issue your activation code
A daily summary of your simulated results: the date, and per currency your simulated PnL, the simulated amount invested and the number of orders The same verification service To build the daily leaderboard (section 4)
Token addresses of the tokens displayed on your screen DexScreener's public API To read public market prices so the simulation uses real numbers
A diagnostic report — only when you press the report button yourself Our Discord server, through the verification service To let us reproduce and fix a bug you are reporting

The installation ID is a random number. It is not derived from your name, your browser, your hardware or your IP address, and it is not shared between the sites you visit.

3. Activation and Discord

Access is limited to members of our Discord server. When you paste your activation code in Discord, our service records that the Discord account which submitted the code is linked to that installation ID, together with the date. That link is what lets the extension unlock, and what lets us revoke access if our rules are broken.

We therefore hold, for each activated installation: the random installation ID, the Discord username or ID that activated it, the activation date, and whether access is currently valid. Nothing about your trading, your browsing or your wallet is attached to it. Discord itself is an independent service, and its own privacy policy applies to what you do there.

4. The daily leaderboard

The extension ranks players by their simulated results. To do that, while it is running it sends a daily total to our service roughly every five minutes: the date, and for each currency your simulated PnL, the simulated amount you put in, and how many orders you placed. Totals only — no token names, no addresses, no individual trades, nothing about the positions behind those numbers.

On our side those totals are grouped by the Discord account that activated your installation, so two computers belonging to the same member add up. The result is published as a leaderboard in the leaderboard channel of our Discord server, and can be read from inside the extension. If you place at the top, the Discord name you activated with is visible to the other members of the server. Only the day's totals appear there — never your trades.

Nothing is kept beyond that: each day's total replaces the previous one for that day. If you would rather not appear, ask us on Discord to remove your entry, or unlink the device.

5. What we never collect

You do not have to take our word for it. The build you download ships with a security/ folder: a written statement of these claims and a script (node security/verify.mjs) that checks them against the shipped code and fails if any of them is false — no wallet provider access, no key handling, no transaction signing, no external dependency.

6. Who else is involved

We use three third parties, and only for the purposes above: Cloudflare (hosts the verification service), Discord (where activation and support happen), and DexScreener (public market prices). Like any web request, contacting them exposes your IP address to them as a technical necessity; we do not store IP addresses ourselves and do not use them to identify or profile anyone. This website is hosted by Hostinger, which keeps standard server logs.

We do not sell, rent or trade your data, and we do not transfer it to anyone for advertising or profiling.

7. Permissions the extension asks for

8. Keeping and deleting your data

Local data lives on your device until you delete it: uninstall the extension, or clear your browser data. There is nothing on our side to delete along with it.

Your activation record is kept as long as your installation is active. You can remove the link yourself from the extension popup with Unlink this device. To have your activation record erased on our side, ask us on Discord and we will delete it — after that, the extension on that device stops working until you activate again.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export the personal data an operator holds about you, and to object to its processing. In our case that data is limited to the activation record described in section 3. Contact us on Discord and we will act on the request.

10. Children

The Trenches is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly hold data about them. Discord's own terms also require a minimum age to hold an account.

11. Security

Traffic between the extension and our service uses HTTPS. Because we hold almost nothing — a random ID and a Discord handle — a breach on our side would not expose your trading, your funds or your identity. That is deliberate.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and a material change is announced on our Discord server. The extension is in beta and evolves quickly; we will keep this page in step with what the code actually does.

13. Contact

Questions about this policy, or a request about your data: reach us on our Discord server, which is our official contact channel. See also our Support page.

Reminder. The Trenches is a simulator for learning. It is not financial advice, it places no real orders, and simulated results say nothing about real ones. We are not affiliated with Axiom.trade, GMGN, Padre or DexScreener.
