Privacy

To read a channel’s history we need to be connected to Telegram as you, because that history is only visible to its members. You sign in with the login code Telegram sends you — the same way you would on a new phone. We never see, ask for, or store your Telegram password. If your account has a two-step-verification password, it is used once to complete sign-in and never written down.

What we store is a Telegram session — the token that proves the sign-in happened — encrypted at rest. We use it for one thing: reading the message history of channels you ask us to backtest.

We only ever read. We do not post, reply, forward, join, leave, or change anything on your account, and we do not read your private conversations. The connection exists to fetch the public history of channels you are already in.

You can disconnect at any time from the Telegram page. That deletes the session from our database and signs it out at Telegram’s end, so it cannot be used again by anyone, including us. You can also revoke it yourself from Telegram’s own Settings → Devices, and it will stop working immediately.

Your name and email address, so we can address you and reach you about your account. Your password, stored as a one-way hash that cannot be reversed into the original — if you sign in with Google we hold no password at all.

A record of every credit you bought and every backtest you spent one on, because that is your receipt and our books. The reports themselves, so you can reopen them.

The parsed signals of channels that have been backtested are cached and shared between customers. That cache holds what a channel published to its members. It contains nothing about you, and it is what makes a second backtest of the same channel fast.

We do not sell your data. We do not use your channel list, your reports, or your Telegram connection to market anything to you or to anybody else, and none of it is ever sent to an advertising platform.

This site does carry Meta’s advertising tag, because we buy adverts and need to know whether they work. What that tag can and cannot see is set out under Advertising below. It is worth reading rather than taking on trust, which is why it is written out instead of summarised here.

We never handle your card. Payments are taken by Whop, our payment provider, on their systems. We are told that a payment succeeded and for how much; we never see your card number.

The service runs on infrastructure operated by third parties who necessarily hold the data in order to run it: our hosting and database provider, our email provider for account mail such as password resets, Whop for payments, Tawk.to for the live chat, and Meta for the advertising tag described below. Each is used for that purpose and no other.

Email us and we will delete your account, your Telegram session and your reports. Records we are required to keep for accounting — that a payment happened, and its amount — are retained as long as the law requires, and contain no Telegram data.

If you only want the Telegram connection gone, you do not need us: disconnect from the Telegram page and it is removed at both ends immediately.

The chat bubble is operated by Tawk.to. If you open it, what you type and the email address you give go to them and to us, so that we can answer you. They also set a cookie so a conversation survives a page change, and they see the ordinary things any visitor sends a website — your IP address and which pages you looked at.

You never have to use it. Everything on this site works with the chat untouched, and you can reach us on Telegram or by email instead.

We advertise this service on Facebook and Instagram, and those pages carry Meta’s advertising tag. It tells Meta that a visit happened, and whether an account was created — so we can tell whether an advert was worth paying for, and so Meta can show our adverts to people it thinks are similar to you.

We never send Meta your email address, your name, your channel list or anything from your reports. It receives the ordinary things any embedded tag receives: the pages you looked at, your IP address, and an advertising identifier their own cookie sets.

Browser settings, tracker-blocking extensions and Meta’s own off-Facebook activity controls all stop it. Nothing on this site depends on it working, and blocking it changes nothing about what you can do here.

We use a single browser storage entry to keep you signed in. That one is not optional — without it you would be signed out on every page.

The live chat sets its own cookie when it loads, which is what lets a conversation carry across pages, and the advertising tag above sets one as well.
