Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 8, 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.
- Performs a one-time read of your recent browser history to seed that profile (visit counts and domains — not full URLs).
- 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.
- Your account (email or social login via Privy), your USDC balance and ledger, payout wallet, and Trust ID.
- 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 (one-time) — to seed your profile from recent activity (counts and domains only).
- Storage / alarms / idle / offscreen / tabs — to run the profile locally, cache offers, and refresh in the background.
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.
