This also means that if you received all BTCs after the chain-split, none will be claimable as BCH.

What does the “claiming process” do?

The process sends your BCH from a BTC address to a new BCH address. This is because we do not want to have different currencies “lying” on the same address. For this reason, BCH wallet will only work with BCH addresses, and therefore you have to “claim” your Bitcoin Cash coins first.

Doesn’t this harm my privacy?

TREZOR handles privacy at account level. As long as you do not claim BCH from different accounts to the same BCH account, your privacy will be maintained.

My BCH do not appear in TREZOR Wallet!

Please make sure you have selected Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and click on “Add Account.”

Are my Bitcoin Cash coins protected by my Recovery seed (+Passphrase)?

Yes they are, as are all currencies protected by TREZOR.

I get “Reading of accounts failed.”

Try opening the claim tool without any other TREZOR Wallet or TREZOR Connect instances open, or open the claim tool in an Incognito/Private window of your browser.

Is this replay protected?

Bitcoin Cash (Bcash) implemented a two-way replay protection, by adding a Bitcoin Cash-specific change to the format of their transactions. After the fork, Bitcoin Cash transactions must contain a special value to be considered as valid transactions. This special content also renders them invalid on the original Bitcoin network.
