Overfront Privacy Policy
Overfront is a browser extension that shows how visible a website is in AI assistants' answers. It is built to know as little about you as possible. This page describes everything the extension sends, stores, and never touches.
What the extension sends to our servers
- The registrable domain (for example
example.com) of a site you view or ask to measure. Never the full URL, never the page path, never the page content. - A random anonymous identifier, generated once inside your browser, used only to enforce the free measurement quota and prevent abuse. It is not linked to your name, email, Google account, or any other identity.
That is the complete list. The extension has no access to your passwords, form input, browsing history, cookies, or account data, and it sends requests only to our own API.
What we never collect
- Full URLs, page contents, or search queries
- Names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information
- Browsing history — we receive a domain only at the moment you view or measure it, and requests carry no cookies or referrer
What stays in your browser
Your preferences (panel position, on-page badge on/off, muted sites), recently viewed scores, and the anonymous identifier are stored locally via browser extension storage. They leave your machine only as described above and are removed when you uninstall the extension.
How we use the data
- To compute and return AI visibility scores for the requested domain
- To cache scores so all users share results without repeated measurement
- To enforce the free quota and protect the service from abuse
- To build aggregate, domain-level analytics about visibility in AI answers. These aggregates never contain personal data — there is none to include
We do not sell data. We do not use it for advertising. We do not share it with third parties except the processors below.
Processors
- Cloudflare hosts our API, cache, and database. Standard server logs (including IP addresses) are processed transiently for security and are not used to identify users.
- AI engine providers (currently OpenAI) receive only the measurement questions we generate about a domain. They never receive your anonymous identifier or anything else about you.
Optional permission : on-page badge
The extension works from its side panel with access to the active tab only. If you enable the automatic on-page badge, the browser asks for optional access to sites you visit; this is used solely to display the badge, the domain is processed locally, and you can revoke the permission at any time in your browser's extension settings.
Retention
Cached scores are shared across users and refreshed on a 7-day cycle. Measurement history is retained to show score trends over time and is keyed by domain, not by user.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published at this address with an updated effective date.
