StreamBoard — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-12
StreamBoard is a Chrome extension that shows whether creators you track on
Twitch, Kick, and YouTube are currently live. This page explains exactly
what data the extension touches, where it goes, and where it doesn't.
Data is stored locally, on your device
Everything StreamBoard remembers — the creators you track, their cached
live/offline status, your settings, your local diagnostic event log, and
your Twitch/Kick login tokens — is stored using Chrome's
chrome.storage.local, which lives only in your own browser
profile. None of it is sent to us, sold, shared with advertisers, or used
for tracking or analytics of any kind. We don't operate a database of
users or their data — there is nothing on our end to store it in.
What does leave your device, and why
- Twitch and Kick APIs — to check whether the
creators you track are live, and (if you connect an account) to show
channels you follow that are currently live. Requests go directly from
your browser to Twitch's/Kick's own servers using your access token.
- YouTube — live status for YouTube creators is
checked by requesting the public
/<handle>/live
page directly from YouTube, the same page you'd see visiting it
yourself; a YouTube Data API key (if configured) is used only to fetch
title/thumbnail/viewer-count details after a channel is already
confirmed live.
- The StreamBoard token-exchange proxy (this server)
— used only during Twitch/Kick login and silent token refresh. Twitch
and Kick's login flow requires a confidential client secret that can't
safely live inside a Chrome extension, so this small server holds that
secret and relays the one HTTP request that needs it. This server does
not log, store, or retain anything — each request is forwarded to
Twitch/Kick and the response is passed straight back. There is no
database here and no record of who connected or when.
- Kick follow import — when you use "Import from Kick
Following," StreamBoard reads the Kick Following page already open in
your own browser tab (you must be logged in and viewing it yourself)
to find channels you follow. This never leaves your browser — it's a
local read of a page you're already looking at, not a network request
we make on your behalf.
What we never do
- No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking of any kind.
- No advertising, and no data is ever sold or shared with third parties.
- No account system of our own — there's nothing to sign up for beyond
connecting your existing Twitch/Kick account directly with those
platforms.
- Login tokens are never visible to us — the token-exchange proxy relays
them without reading or storing them, and they're saved only in your
browser's local extension storage afterward.
Your data, your control
Everything StreamBoard stores can be inspected, exported, or deleted
from within the extension itself (Settings → Diagnostics), including a
one-click full reset. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally
stored data along with it — there is no copy anywhere else to delete,
because none was ever made.
Permissions
StreamBoard requests the minimum Chrome permissions needed for the
features above: storage (local data), alarms
(periodic refresh), notifications (live alerts, only if you
enable them), identity (Twitch/Kick login), activeTab
and scripting (reading the Kick Following page you're already
viewing, only when you click "Import"), and host access limited to the
Twitch/Kick/YouTube domains and this proxy.
