Privacy and data

Plain-language boundaries for public products.

Barndoor Labs publishes what its products are designed to store, what they do not need, how permissions are reviewed, and where current public guarantees stop.

Haystack application data

Simulation state, not financial account authority.

Haystack is designed to associate Discord users with paper-trading and property-review records. It is not designed to receive brokerage credentials, bank credentials, payment-card information, authentication credentials, sensitive access material, custody access, or real-order authority.

Identity association

Discord user and server identifiers may be used to connect application records to the correct user or community.

Paper portfolio

Simulated cash, positions, cost basis, estimated value, and paper-trade history may be stored to provide portfolio and review features.

Community features

Simulated portfolio values may be used for server-level leaderboard and comparison features.

Property inputs

User-provided locations, price ranges, financing assumptions, costs, strategies, thresholds, and saved property-watch values may be stored.

Operational evidence

Bounded health and error information may be retained to operate, diagnose, secure, and recover the application.

No real execution

Haystack does not custody funds, connect a brokerage account, or place real market orders.

Removal and retention

Use the application data-removal command.

Haystack exposes a command-surface control for removing stored paper-portfolio data. The exact command name is intentionally not invented here because the current public source reviewed for this statement does not name it. Use the removal option shown by the installed application.

Current public commitment

User-initiated application-data removal

Users can request removal through Haystack's command surface.

Current limitation

No fixed public retention guarantee yet

A specific retention schedule, operational-log window, and immediate backup-erasure timeline are not currently promised on the public product pages.

Discord installation

Discord's approval screen is the authoritative permission list.

Requested scopes and permissions can change independently of static website copy. Review the exact installation screen before approving Haystack, reject permissions you do not understand, and never provide authentication credentials or sensitive access material.

Review

Read every requested permission

Confirm the installation target and permissions inside Discord before approval.

Minimize

Do not grant unrelated authority

Do not approve unexpected administrative access merely to use simulation or educational features.

Protect

Never share authentication credentials

Barndoor Labs does not need authentication credentials, brokerage credentials, or banking credentials.

Market and property information

Data and calculations can be incomplete or wrong.

Market quotes may be delayed, unavailable, unsupported, adjusted, or incomplete. Property calculations depend on user-provided assumptions and are not listings, appraisals, lending decisions, tax advice, legal advice, or investment recommendations.

Verification

Check material facts independently

Verify prices, terms, taxes, insurance, fees, and legal requirements with authoritative sources before acting.

Responsibility

Users make their own decisions

Haystack provides simulation and organization tools, not professional judgment or guaranteed outcomes.
