Read-only by design
This audience has been drained before. So rather than say “we take security seriously”, here is the specific list of things Dossier can and cannot do.
What connecting actually does
Connecting a wallet asks you to sign one message. A signed message is a cryptographic proof that you control an address. It is not a transaction: it never reaches the chain, it costs nothing, and there is no instruction inside it for a wallet to execute.
That is the whole handshake. From that point on, everything Dossier knows about your trading comes from reading the public ledger, which anyone can already do with your address.
What Dossier can never do
These are not policy promises that could change with a settings toggle. They are things a message signature structurally does not grant:
- Move, transfer or swap any token in your wallet.
- Approve spending, set an allowance, or delegate authority to a program.
- Interact with any smart contract on your behalf.
- See a private key or seed phrase. It is never requested and never stored.
If anything presenting itself as Dossier asks you to approve a transaction, a token approval, or a spend limit, it is not us. Close it.
How to check for yourself
Read the prompt your wallet shows you. Wallets distinguish clearly between signing a message and approving a transaction, and they say which one is happening. A message-signature prompt has no network fee attached, because nothing is being broadcast.
This is worth doing on every site, not just this one. The habit is the protection.
What we store, and how you remove it
Your journal is your trades, your grades and the written analyses. Row-level security isolates it at the database layer, so one account cannot read another’s rows even in the event of an application bug.
Deleting a wallet hard-deletes its trades, positions and analyses immediately. No soft-delete, no retention copy, no thirty-day grace period during which it still exists. You can also export everything to CSV or Obsidian-ready Markdown at any time, without asking us.
The full detail of what is collected and who it reaches is in the privacy notice.
Why there are no signals
Dossier reviews trades that have already closed. It has no mechanism to tell you what to buy, which also means it has no incentive to route you anywhere, no order flow to sell, and no reason to want you trading more than you already do.
