At GambleGuard, your privacy and anonymity are our top priorities. We understand the sensitive nature of gambling recovery and have designed our platform with privacy at its core. This policy covers the GambleGuard website (gambleguard.net), Chrome Extension, and Commitment Vault.
When you create an account, we collect your email address. Passwords are never stored in plain text.
We store your streak data, journal entries, achievements, and calming session logs. This data is linked to your account and never shared with third parties.
Conversations with Streak AI are processed through Azure OpenAI (primary) and Google Gemini (fallback). We use your journal entries and blocked site data to provide personalized support through our RAG system. Conversations are stored in your session and can be cleared at any time.
When using the Chrome Extension, we record only blocked gambling site attempts — never your general browsing history. This data syncs to your account to provide personalized AI support and track recovery progress.
Vault transactions occur on the Base blockchain and are publicly visible (as with all blockchain transactions). We do NOT have access to your wallet, private keys, or deposited funds. Your wallet address may be stored locally to display your vault status.
Streak AI is powered by a custom-trained model built on Azure OpenAI with Google Gemini as fallback. The AI has been trained and fine-tuned on:
Your personal data is NOT used to train AI models. Your journal entries and conversations are only used in real-time to provide personalized responses, not for model training.
Your data is stored securely using Firebase with industry-standard encryption. We use Firestore Security Rules to ensure you can only access your own data. Journal entries and AI conversations are encrypted at rest.
The GambleGuard Chrome Extension processes gambling site detection locally on your device. We do NOT track, store, or transmit your general browsing history.
What we collect: Only the domain names of blocked gambling sites and timestamps.
What we DON'T collect: Your browsing history, visited pages (except blocked gambling sites), form data, passwords, or any other personal information from web pages.
Built-in whitelist: We maintain a list of 50+ recovery resources, gambling help organizations, and our own domains that are NEVER blocked or synced. This includes sites like GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous, NCPG, and gambleguard.net itself.
The Commitment Vault uses smart contracts on the Base blockchain (Ethereum Layer 2). Important privacy considerations:
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Your recovery journey is yours alone. The only exceptions are:
