Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Learn how FACEIT Extender protects your data.

Last updated: 2026-11-02

Information We Collect

  • Most extension features process publicly available FACEIT profile, match, and performance data locally in your browser.
  • Demos you open or analyse are processed in your browser and stay on your device. If you ask the AI coach a question, the question and a small selection of round data are sent encrypted to our servers to generate an answer.
  • Optional supporter, contact, badge, and AI-analysis features send only the data those features need to our servers.
  • The extension shows a few images (the screenshots in the first-run tour and the optional emote badges) that it loads from our servers instead of carrying them in the download. Like any image request, it reaches our server with your IP address and browser details; no account or identifier is attached, and your browser keeps the images so they are fetched once.
  • When FACEIT is temporarily unavailable, the extension may load the same public FACEIT data through our servers. These requests contain only the public profile or match being looked up.
  • The setup guide shows a switch for anonymous usage statistics, which is on by default; you can switch it off there, and again at any time by replaying the setup guide. While it is on, the extension sends the installed version and which match room features were used (for example whether the AI briefing was opened), so we can count active and online installations and improve the match room. They are counts of features, tied only to a random installation id, and contain no FACEIT identity, player, match or browsing data. Skipping the guide leaves the statistics as they were, so they stay on. Installations set up before this switch existed keep sending the basic statistics until you switch them off by replaying the setup guide. On Firefox nothing is sent unless you also allow it in the browser.
  • To show how many people are online right now, each open tab of this website sends a random code while it is visible. The code is kept only for that browser tab session, is not a cookie, and is not linked to your account, the extension or anything else about you. We keep it for a day at most and only publish the total.
  • When you remove the extension, your browser opens a page on faceit-extender.com where you can say why. Answering is optional. The answer is anonymous: it holds the reasons you tick, an optional note, the extension version and the browser name, and no IP address, account or installation id.
  • The extension never sends your FACEIT login or session to our servers. To download demos, it uses your existing FACEIT session only to request them from FACEIT.
  • Support purchases are processed by PayPal. We retain payment and supporter records needed to verify purchases and display supporter badges.
  • If you sign in on faceit-extender.com with FACEIT, we receive your FACEIT account id and nickname to show your supporter purchases and claim codes.
  • Contact-form submissions include the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and message.
  • When you are not signed in, faceit-extender.com counts page visits and site interactions without cookies. To count each visitor once, we keep a one-way hash of your IP address and browser name, made with a secret key, for 30 days and then delete it. Your IP address itself is not stored, and the hash cannot be turned back into it.
  • When you are signed in, we record which pages and features you use on faceit-extender.com against your FACEIT account, so we understand how the site is used. This is not shared with third parties and is deleted after 180 days. Sign out to stop it.
  • The extension does not collect your passwords. Optional features may act on your FACEIT account using your existing FACEIT session only after you enable them.

How We Use Information

  • Public FACEIT data is used solely to provide extension features.
  • Smurf detection algorithms analyze publicly available player statistics.
  • Player encounter tracking uses only publicly accessible match history.
  • Extended level display processes publicly visible ELO data.
  • AI analysis requests, including demo-coach questions and selected recorded evidence, may be processed by OpenRouter; optional match-stat enrichment may use Leetify. These providers receive only the data needed for that request.
  • We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising.

Data Security

  • Most processing occurs locally; requests to our API use HTTPS.
  • We use reasonable access controls and retain server records only as needed to operate payments, supporter entitlements, contact support, abuse prevention, and AI allowances.
  • The extension itself contains no advertising or analytics trackers. Its one third-party component is the optional TradeIt.gg minigame described under Partner Minigame, which is on by default and can be switched off at any time.
  • On faceit-extender.com, Google Analytics 4 measures page visits only if you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner. It sets _ga cookies, anonymises your IP address, and advertising features are turned off. You can withdraw consent at any time with the "Cookie settings" button on this page.
  • Extension permissions are minimal and necessary for functionality.
  • Your browsing data remains private and secure.

Advertising

  • faceit-extender.com shows ads served by Google AdSense on some pages. The extension shows no ads; its optional partner minigame is described under Partner Minigame.
  • If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google's own certified consent message asks for your consent before showing personalised ads; you can change your choice at any time from that message.
  • Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads and measure their performance. See https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites for details.

Partner Minigame (TradeIt.gg)

  • FACEIT Extender offers an optional minigame from our partner TradeIt.gg, served from games.tapit.gg. It is not part of FACEIT or of our own service, it is labelled as sponsored wherever it appears, and we may earn a referral when you play.
  • On faceit-extender.com a visible minigame frame loads automatically below the footer on pages that show the footer. The Play, Support, and Download pages also offer separate game cards that load when you press Play. The website also sends an automatic hidden image request to the TradeIt.gg referral page. These requests reach games.tapit.gg or tradeit.gg with your IP address and browser details, and the provider may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy, subject to browser restrictions. We send our referral code and utm_source=faceit-extender, not your FACEIT account, Steam ID or another personal identifier. A visible referral link opens TradeIt.gg in a new tab.
  • In the extension the game is offered on the last page of the setup guide as "Support FACEIT Extender". That switch is on by default and you can switch it off there. It is also on if you skip the setup or updated from an earlier version, and you can switch it off at any time with Enable Commercial in the extension settings. When it is on, it is shown in the match room (as a TradeIt.gg tab next to Overview and Stats), in a sidebar tab, and on other players’ profile pages, and it loads automatically on those pages. The TradeIt.gg tab also appears on the matchmaking page. A small badge with the TradeIt.gg logo also sits above the FACEIT Extender button in FACEIT’s sidebar; it loads nothing from TradeIt.gg until you click it to open the game, and the game is removed again when you close it. To credit plays to FACEIT Extender, the extension adds our referral code to the request and, if your Steam account is linked to your FACEIT profile, your Steam ID. We do not receive any gameplay data. Turn the setting off to remove the game.
  • The provider decides whether you may play, including any age or region limits, and handles your data and anything you win or lose under its own terms.
  • When you press Play on faceit-extender.com we count it as an aggregated total with no identifiers. Google Analytics receives it only if you accepted analytics cookies.

Your Rights

  • You can disable the extension at any time.
  • You may request access to or deletion of personal data we hold, subject to legal and payment-record retention requirements.
  • You can uninstall the extension to stop all data processing.
  • All features can be toggled on/off in extension settings.
  • You maintain full control over your data and privacy.
