Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2, 2026 | Applies to: FGRIND Chrome Extension + fgrind.com
TL;DR: We do not collect your name, email, or personal identifiers. FACEIT data comes from public APIs; authenticated calls use your own FACEIT session and never reach our servers. No data selling.
1. Overview
FGRIND operates the browser extension and fgrind.com. The extension reads publicly available FACEIT match data to display win probability, smurf detection scores, and player analytics. When you are logged in to faceit.com, it also uses your existing FACEIT session token (read from the page) to make authenticated requests to FACEIT's own API on your behalf — the same calls the FACEIT website makes (e.g. live match state). We never collect your name, email, password, or any personal identifiers.
For EU users: our legal basis for any data processing is legitimate interest in providing the extension functionality. No personal data under GDPR is collected.
2. What we do not collect
- Name, email, or personal identifiers
- FACEIT username or password
- Browser history or activity outside faceit.com
- Payment or location data
3. What we do process
| Data | Purpose | Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| FACEIT match ID (from page URL) | Fetch public match data | Edge cache only, TTL <= 5 min |
| Public stats of players in the match lobby (ELO, K/D, maps) | Win probability, smurf score | Edge cache only, TTL <= 10 min |
| FACEIT session token (read from the faceit.com page) | Authenticated calls to FACEIT's own API on your behalf (e.g. live match state) | In-memory in your browser only — never sent to our servers or third parties |
| Anonymous install ID (random UUID) | Rate limiting | Local device only |
| Website visits (fgrind.com) | Aggregate traffic | Anonymised, Cloudflare Analytics |
The anonymous install ID is a randomly generated UUID with no personal information attached. It cannot be traced back to you.
4. Backend proxy
Public match data is fetched through our proxy at api.fgrind.com, so the FACEIT Open Data API key stays on our server and never ships inside the extension. The proxy does not log request content or associate requests with any user identity. Authenticated requests (using your own session token) go directly from your browser to FACEIT's API and do not pass through our proxy.
5. FACEIT data
All data is sourced from the FACEIT Open Data API v4. FGRIND is independent and not affiliated with FACEIT or ESL Gaming.
6. Cookies & local storage
The extension uses chrome.storage.local for preferences and the anonymous UUID. This data stays on your device only.
fgrind.com uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, cookie-free and with no fingerprinting.
7. Advertising & partner integrations
FGRIND does not display advertising. Partner links or affiliate banners may appear in the future. They will be clearly labelled and can be disabled in settings.
8. Third-party services
- Cloudflare, Inc. - hosting for fgrind.com and api.fgrind.com
- FACEIT / ESL Gaming GmbH - source of all match data via public API
9. Children privacy
FGRIND is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
10. Changes
We will update the "Last updated" date when this policy changes. Material changes will be noted in the extension changelog.
