Privacy policy

In short

Elonation is a free browser extension for faceit.com and this website. There are no ads, no analytics and no sale of data. The extension works inside your browser. By default it sends nothing about you to us. The only things that ever leave your browser are described below, and the ones tied to you are off until you turn them on.

Elonation is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by FACEIT.

What the extension does on faceit.com

• Reads public FACEIT data that faceit.com already loads for you: nicknames, ELO, levels, match history and statistics of players in your lobby and on profiles you open. These requests go from your browser to FACEIT with your existing FACEIT session, the same way the website itself makes them.
• Stores locally, in your browser only: your settings, your notes and tags on players, and a cache of fetched statistics so FACEIT is not asked twice. Local data stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension or clear it in the settings.
• Does not read your FACEIT password, your cookies for other sites, your messages, or anything outside faceit.com.

What reaches our server

About twice an hour the extension downloads a small configuration file from elonation.net: page selectors, the map of FACEIT endpoints, level thresholds, the map pool and rate limits. This is how a broken layout gets fixed without a new release. The request carries no identifier and no account data.

Like any web request it reveals your IP address to our server and to Cloudflare, which sits in front of it. Access logs with IP address, time and requested URL are kept for security and troubleshooting for no longer than 30 days.

Optional features

Each of these is off until you switch it on, and each can be switched off again at any time.

• Sign in with FACEIT, to sync your notes between devices. FACEIT tells us your FACEIT ID, nickname and avatar; we never see your password. We store these three fields, your notes and tags (the other player's FACEIT ID, your text, color, tag, the match it was written in and the dates) and a session token. FACEIT access tokens are stored encrypted on our server, are used only to confirm it is you, and are never shared.
• Anonymous diagnostics, to help us notice when FACEIT changes its pages. When enabled, the extension reports which page blocks were found on which type of page, together with the extension version and an anonymous install identifier generated by our server. No page content, no nicknames, no account data.
• Features that share anything with other users, such as community tags or showing that you also use Elonation, will ask for a separate consent before anything is sent. They are not live yet.

What we never do

• Show ads or sponsored content of any kind.
• Use third-party analytics, trackers or fingerprinting.
• Sell, rent or trade data about you.
• Collect data from websites other than faceit.com.
• Profile you or make automated decisions about you.

Retention and deletion

• Local data: until you clear it in the settings or uninstall the extension.
• Account data (if you signed in): until you delete your account in the settings. Deletion removes your user record, notes, tags and tokens; backups follow within 30 days.
• Diagnostics: raw reports are aggregated per day and deleted within 90 days.
• Access logs: 30 days.

Third parties

• FACEIT is the source of the data the extension shows and, if you sign in, the identity provider. Its own privacy policy applies to your FACEIT account.
• Cloudflare protects and accelerates elonation.net and sees the same request metadata as any CDN.
• Our server is hosted in Germany, in the European Union.

Your rights

Where you have an account with us, you can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, export it or delete it, and you can object to processing. The simplest way is the account section of the extension settings. If you are in the European Union, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Legal basis: your consent for the optional features; our legitimate interest in keeping the extension working and secure for the configuration download and access logs. Elonation is not directed at children under 16.

Changes

When this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date. If a change affects what we collect, the extension tells you before anything new is sent.
