Kickstand troch João Pedro
Kickstand is a browser extension that lets you track Kick.com channels, see who's live, and browse Kick's live streams and categories. This policy explains what data it handles.
What Kickstand stores
Kick OAuth tokens (access token, refresh token, expiry times) — stored locally on your device (chrome.storage.local) so you stay signed in. Never transmitted anywhere except to Kick's own servers to authenticate API requests, and to refresh the token when it expires.
Your tracked channel list and settings (polling interval, notification preferences) — stored via your browser's built-in sync storage (chrome.storage.sync). If you have Chrome Sync or Firefox Sync enabled, this syncs across your own devices through Google's or Mozilla's sync infrastructure — Kickstand does not operate any server that receives or stores this data.
Cached live-status data (viewer counts, stream titles, thumbnails for tracked channels) — stored locally on your device, used only to render the popup and toolbar badge without re-fetching on every open.
What Kickstand fetches from Kick
Kickstand calls Kick's public API (api.kick.com) and OAuth server (id.kick.com) directly, using the access token from your own login, to:
Look up channels by slug
Fetch live-stream and category listings
Fetch your own Kick profile (used only to show your profile picture in place of the settings icon)
Kick's profile endpoint also returns your account name and email address as part of that response. Kickstand does not store, display, or transmit either — only the profile picture URL is read out of the response.
The Cloudflare Worker
Kickstand uses a small Cloudflare Worker it operates as an OAuth proxy, so the app's client secret never ships inside the extension. The worker only ever sees the OAuth authorization code, PKCE code verifier, redirect URI, or refresh token needed to complete a token exchange with Kick — it forwards these directly to Kick's OAuth server and returns the result. It does not log, store, or retain any of this data.
What Kickstand does not do
Does not sell or share any data with third parties
Does not use your data for advertising, analytics, or tracking
Does not use your data for any purpose other than the features described above
Does not have access to your Kick password at any point — sign-in happens through Kick's own OAuth login page
