Privacy Policy

February 5, 2026

Our commitment to your privacy

At IVEplay, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the IVE browser extension and our web services at iveplay.io.

IVE works on two levels: the browser extension, which operates entirely locally on your device, and the IVE Hub, an optional online account you can create to sync your library and access additional features. This policy covers both.

The extension itself does not collect or transmit your personal data. If you choose to create an account and use the Hub, we store only what is necessary to provide those features.

What we never do

Regardless of whether you use the extension or the Hub:

  • No tracking: We do not track your browsing history or video viewing habits
  • No analytics: We do not use analytics tools to monitor your usage
  • No activity logging: We do not log your interactions with videos or scripts
  • No data selling: We will never sell or share your information with third parties

Browser extension (local only)

The IVE browser extension stores all data locally on your device. None of the following ever leaves your browser:

  • Script files: Interactive scripts (.funscript files) you use are cached locally for performance
  • Video metadata: Basic information about videos (title, duration, thumbnail) is stored to help you manage your library
  • Connection settings: Your device connection preferences (like connection keys) are saved locally for convenience
  • User preferences: Settings like heatmap display, stroke ranges, and custom URLs are stored on your device

You can use the extension without ever creating an account. In that case, no data is transmitted to our servers.

IVE Hub (when you create an account)

If you choose to sign up for an IVE Hub account, we collect and store the following data on our servers to provide Hub features. This only applies if you create an account — it is entirely optional.

Account information

  • Email address: Provided through our authentication provider (Clerk) when you sign up. Used for account identification and communication.
  • User ID: A unique identifier created when your account is set up
  • Account role: Your role (e.g. user, creator) used to determine what features you can access

Patreon integration

When you link your Patreon account, we store:

  • Patreon ID and tier: Used to verify your supporter status and unlock corresponding features

We do not store your full Patreon profile (name, image, etc.) — only the ID and tier needed to verify your support.

Authentication

Account authentication is handled by Clerk, a third-party authentication provider. When you sign up or log in, Clerk manages the session and provides us with your email address and user ID. Please review Clerk's privacy policy for details on how they handle your authentication data.

Account deletion

You can delete your IVE Hub account at any time from your account settings. When you delete your account:

  • Your user record and email are permanently removed
  • All your library data (entries, videos, scripts, favorites) is deleted
  • Your Patreon link (if any) is removed
  • Your contributor record is removed
  • Your Clerk account is deleted

If you have contributed entries to the public database as a creator, you can choose whether to also remove those contributions during deletion.

Device connections and third-party APIs

When you connect haptic devices through IVE:

  • The Handy: Your connection key is stored locally. Video titles may be visible to The Handy's API during script playback due to how their service functions. Please review The Handy's privacy policy for details.
  • Autoblow: Your device token is stored locally. Video titles may be visible to Autoblow's API during script playback due to how their service functions. Please review Autoblow's privacy policy for details.
  • Intiface/Buttplug.io: Connection occurs through a local server you run on your computer. IVE does not transmit data to Intiface servers. Please review Intiface's privacy policy for their practices.
  • Script databases (IVDB, FapTap, EroScripts, FunScriptHub): When loading scripts from these services, you interact directly with their APIs. IVE does not intercept or log this communication. Please review each service's privacy policy.

Browser extension permissions

IVE requires certain browser permissions to function:

  • "Access your data for all websites": Needed to detect video players and synchronize with them. You can restrict this permission to specific sites only through your browser's extension settings if you prefer.
  • Storage: Used to save your local preferences and script library on your device.
  • Context menus: Allows right-click shortcuts for enhanced functionality.

These permissions are used exclusively for core features. We do not use them to collect data about your browsing.

Cookies and web storage

The IVEplay website (iveplay.io) uses:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (age verification, session management)
  • Authentication cookies: If you sign in, Clerk sets session cookies to keep you logged in

We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Data security

Your local data is protected by your browser's built-in security features. Hub data is stored on encrypted servers. We recommend:

  • Using a dedicated browser profile for adult content to keep your data separate and private
  • Keeping your browser updated
  • Using strong passwords for your device
  • Being cautious when using IVE on shared computers

Your rights

IVEplay is operated from within the EEA and we process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

When you create an account, the legal basis for processing your data is the performance of our contract with you (the Terms of Service). For optional features like Patreon linking, the legal basis is your consent.

You have the right to:

  • Access your data — see what we store about you
  • Correct your data — update inaccurate information
  • Delete your data — remove your account and all associated data
  • Export your data — request a copy of your data
  • Withdraw consent for optional processing (e.g. unlinking Patreon)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@iveplay.io.

Age requirement

IVE is intended for adults 18+ only. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Open source transparency

Portions of IVE's code are open source and available for review, demonstrating our commitment to transparency in how we handle your data.

Thank you for trusting IVEplay. The extension works fully offline with no data collection. The Hub is optional — and if you use it, we only store what's needed to power the library.
