Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to quickly understand features, privacy and installation.
GreenByte estimates CO₂ from network activity, streaming, storage and AI calls using public emission factors and local heuristics. Calculations run on your device unless you enable sharing.
No. By default no page content or raw history leaves your device. Leaderboards only receive anonymized aggregates if you opt in.
Yes. GreenByte can be used by classes, clubs, schools, or city teams. Shared dashboards show only aggregated progress, so students can compare impact without exposing private browsing details.
Estimates use best-available emission factors and are intended for behavioural change (relative comparisons), not formal accounting.
GreenTokens reward verified reductions and can be used with partner projects (tree planting, school initiatives). Achievements recognise consistent behaviour change.
GreenByte offers a Windows desktop installer and a browser extension (Chrome/Edge). macOS and Linux builds are available on request or via the ZIP packages.
No. We collect counts and content-type labels (video/audio/image) for estimation, not page text or user inputs.
Leaderboards use anonymized aggregates and display ranks only after data is binned; you can opt out or limit visibility to school-only groups.
You can export local logs and request deletion of server-side aggregates. Contact the team for immediate assistance.
