Privacy Policy
BGA Assistant is a browser extension that helps players keep track of game state on Board Game Arena. This policy explains how the extension handles your data.
Data collection
BGA Assistant does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. There are no analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind. The extension does not make network requests to any servers other than boardgamearena.com (which your browser already connects to when playing).
How the extension works
- The extension reads game log data from BGA pages you visit using host permissions (
boardgamearena.com). - All processing happens locally in your browser — game state is computed on your device and never sent anywhere.
- Display preferences (such as section visibility and toggle states) are saved in your browser’s
localStorageand never leave your device.
