FrictionBox collects the minimum data needed to operate. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture — solely to identify your account. We do not request access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or any other Google service.
Your site list, gate configurations, and gate statistics are stored locally in your browser. The Chrome extension operates entirely on-device — it does not transmit browsing data, site lists, or any usage telemetry to FrictionBox servers.
When signed in, your configuration may be synced to our servers using a key-value store keyed to your user ID. This data is used only to restore your settings across devices. It is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.
Some gates use LLM-powered content generation (e.g. typing passages). These requests are anonymous — no user identity or browsing context is attached. No cookies or tracking pixels from third-party ad networks are used anywhere in FrictionBox.
You can clear all local FrictionBox data from Settings at any time. To delete your synced account data, sign out and contact us — we will remove all server-side records associated with your account.
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
