Browser extension: privacy
Freeboard and Bilancio extensions for Chrome, Edge and Safari · last updated 5 October 2026
The Freeboard extension (and its personal edition, Bilancio) brings your Freeboard dashboard into the browser: cash and safe-to-spend, transactions to assign, the accommodation budget on Booking and Airbnb, sales from eBay, Vinted and Subito, and expenses where you pay. This page explains exactly what it reads, where it sends it and what it keeps.
In short
- The extension talks only to the dashboard address you enter (your Freeboard dashboard), over HTTPS, after you sign in with that dashboard’s credentials.
- Nothing is sent to us, the developers of the extension: no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third parties. We never see your data.
- Data from web pages (a price, stay dates, a listing) stays in your browser until you confirm it in the extension’s window. Only then is it saved to your dashboard.
- Your data is never sold, shared or used for anything other than the features described here.
Data from your dashboard
Once connected, the extension reads from your dashboard the numbers it shows you: cash per account, end-of-month and forecast figures, safe-to-spend, Cash Flow items with their amounts, bank transactions to assign, goals, items for sale and incoming refunds. It writes to the dashboard only when you confirm an action: assigning a transaction to an item, recording an expense or a one-off, adding an item for sale with its photos, an incoming refund, or changing an item’s amount for a booking. Every change can be undone.
Data from web pages
| Where | What it reads, and why |
|---|---|
| Booking.com, Airbnb | Stay dates and price, to compare the stay with your accommodation budget month by month. |
| eBay, Vinted, Subito | On a listing page: title, price, description and photos, to add the item to your Sales list. Photos are downloaded by your browser from the listing’s image server and uploaded to your dashboard only if you choose them. |
| Amazon | On order and returns pages: order total, order number, product name, refund amount, to record the expense or an incoming refund. |
| Checkout pages (optional) | Only if you turn on “Safe-to-spend on checkout pages” and grant the permission: the cart total, to show it next to your safe-to-spend and to offer to record the expense. |
| Text you select | When you use the right-click menu: the selected text (an amount), to prefill the expense, refund or stay window. |
The extension does not read passwords, form fields, messages or your browsing history, and does not run on other sites unless you turn on the optional checkout feature.
What is stored in your browser
- The connection to your dashboard: its address and the sign-in tokens (renewed automatically, valid for at most 60 days).
- Your settings: language, which items to use, which features are on.
- Bookings you record (dates, amount, title), Amazon orders whose expense you recorded (order number only), and the item you last chose for each shop, to suggest it next time.
- A short-lived copy of the dashboard numbers (a few minutes), so the extension is quick.
All of this stays on your device, in the extension’s own storage. Disconnect in the options revokes the sign-in on your dashboard; uninstalling the extension deletes everything it stored. You can also revoke the connection from your dashboard, under Settings › AI assistants.

Your dashboard
Your financial data is kept by your dashboard, not by the extension: Freeboard dashboards are hosted by Bytelegion, the studio that makes Freeboard (the personal edition, Bilancio, runs on its owner’s server). The extension adds nothing to it beyond what you confirm.
Chrome Web Store
The use of information received by the extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: data is used only to provide the features described above, is not transferred to third parties, is not used for advertising and is not used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date. For questions, use the support address shown on the extension’s page in the Chrome Web Store or the App Store.
