1. Introduction
Vsafe - Phishing URL Detector ("we", "our", or "extension") is a Chrome Extension developed by DigiMartrix. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how our extension operates.
This Privacy Policy explains how Vsafe handles your data. In summary: We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data. All analysis is performed locally on your device.
2. Core Functionality
Vsafe is designed to enhance your online security by detecting:
- Phishing attacks
- Cryptocurrency scams
- Malicious websites
The extension operates in real-time by scanning the URLs you visit and the content of webpages to identify potential threats.
3. Data Collection & Privacy (The "Zero-Data" Policy)
We strictly adhere to a "Zero-Data" collection policy. To ensure your privacy:
- No Browsing History: We do not track, record, or upload your browsing history to any server.
- No Personal Data: We do not collect names, emails, passwords, or any personally identifiable information (PII).
- No Remote Transmission: Webpage content and URLs are analyzed strictly on your local device using embedded AI models and logic. No data leaves your browser.
4. Permissions Explained
To function correctly, Vsafe requires specific permissions. Here is exactly why we need them:
"Read and change all your data on the websites you visit"
This sounds scary, but it is necessary for the extension to see the URL and page content to scan it for threats. We use this permission solely to perform the local safety scan. We do *not* change your data unless we detect a threat, in which case we display a warning overlay to protect you.
"Scripting"
We use the Scripting permission to inject the warning overlay (red screen) into the webpage *only* when a confirmed threat is detected.
"Storage"
We use local storage permissions to save your personal preferences (e.g., toggling sound alerts on/off). This data stays on your device.
5. Third-Party Services
Vsafe operates independently and does not utilize third-party analytics tools (like Google Analytics) or advertising networks within the extension.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and significant changes depending on the extension's scope may be notified via the Chrome Web Store update mechanism.
