Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 20, 2026
Ungate pays you for your attention. To do that well while respecting you, we built the product around one principle: your data stays on your device — we sell the match, never your data. This policy explains exactly what that means.
What the Ungate extension does on your device
- Reads content on supported AI chat sites (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude) and pages you visit to build an interest profile locally, on your device.
- Reads your recent browser history (the last 14 days) to keep that profile current — at most once a day. It uses the sites you visit and page titles to infer what you're working on; the raw history stays on your device.
- Shows you relevant sponsored offers and records that you gave them attention, so you can earn USDC.
Raw conversations and full browsing history never leave your device.
What we store on our servers
- Abstractions only — interest topics, banded signals (e.g. “interested in travel”), and what you're working on — derived on your device before anything syncs.
- Approximate location — coarse country / region / city derived from your IP address, plus your device timezone and language. Used to show geographically relevant offers. We do not collect precise GPS location.
- Your account (email or social login via Privy), your USDC balance and ledger, payout wallet, and Human Score.
- Impression/click and earning records needed to pay you and bill advertisers.
- Chat messages you send in the Ungate web chat (to provide chat history). You can delete these.
What advertisers and partners see
Advertisers never see your identity or your raw data. They buy the match — the fact that a verified, in-market person fits their campaign. Any market-research or aggregate data is grouped so no individual is identifiable (a minimum cohort size applies), and contributing is opt-in.
Permissions the extension requests, and why
- Reading page content on supported sites — to build your on-device interest profile and place offers.
- History — to keep your profile current from recent activity (sites and page titles, read on your device, at most once a day).
- Storage — to keep your profile, balance and settings on your device.
- Tabs / idle — to see which site is active and pause when you step away, so attention is measured accurately.
- Offscreen — to run the on-device AI model that turns your activity into interest topics.
Payments
Earnings are paid in USDC on the Base network to a wallet you control. On withdrawal we may verify a US/Canada phone number to prevent fraud; the number is stored only as a one-way hash and is never shared.
Your control
- Wipe your on-device profile anytime from the extension.
- Delete your chat history and account data on request.
- Turn off paid messages and set your own inbox price.
