1. Overview

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

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 |

4. Backend proxy

fgrind.com uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, cookie-free and with no fingerprinting.
