Scam Sentry
Privacy Policy
DATA COLLECTION
Scam Sentry collects only minimal information to support its scam detection functionality. The extension maintains a temporary, locally stored log of crowd-sourced scam domains and phrases. No detailed browsing history or specific URLs are stored automatically.
If you choose to manually report a scam, the extension sends the full URL and, if provided, an optional screenshot via a secure API call. In such cases, only the domain name is retained in local storage for recording purposes.
DATA USAGE
The collected data is used exclusively to identify and document potential scams and fraudulent activity. It supports the extension’s advanced detection methods, including crowd intelligence, semantic analysis, and real-time blacklists.
No data is used for purposes beyond scam detection and enhancing user security.
RETENTION & STORAGE
All collected data is stored locally using Chrome’s storage API and is maintained only as long as necessary for the extension’s functionality.
No complete browsing history or detailed URL data is stored permanently unless you actively submit a scam report.
DATA SECURITY
We prioritize your privacy. All data transmitted through the extension, including manual scam reports, is sent securely and is handled with robust security measures.
The extension does not execute or retrieve any remote code, ensuring that all operations occur within the secure environment of the extension package.
YOUR CONSENT
By installing and using Scam Sentry, you acknowledge and agree to the data collection and usage practices outlined in this policy.
If you do not wish to share any information, please refrain from manually submitting scam reports.
