Privacy Policy

Overview

SusKat ("we", "our", "the extension") is a browser extension that helps protect users from fraudulent websites, phishing, and malware. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What Data We Collect

Data Processed Locally (Never Leaves Your Device)

The following data is processed entirely on your device and is never sent to our servers:

• Page content analysis - We scan page elements to detect scam indicators (fake trust badges, suspicious discounts, etc.)
• Cached results - Analysis results are cached locally in your browser for performance
• Whitelist checks - Checking if a site is in our list of commonly trusted domains
• Threat database lookups - Checking if a domain matches known threats using locally-stored data

Data Sent to Our Backend (When Necessary)

In some cases, we send limited data to our backend for enhanced protection:

We do NOT collect:

• Your browsing history
• URLs with paths or query parameters (only domain names)
• Personal information (name, email, location)
• Form data or credentials
• Cookie data
• IP addresses (beyond what's in server logs)

User Reports

When you report a suspicious site:

• We collect: domain name, detected signals, your anonymous ID, timestamp
• We do NOT collect: your identity, email, or any personal information
• Reports are reviewed for accuracy before being added to our threat feed
• Reports are retained for 30 days, then deleted
• Anonymous IDs are randomly generated and cannot be linked to you

Data Retention

Third-Party Services

Threat Intelligence

We aggregate threat data from multiple public and industry sources to detect malicious sites. These sources provide information about known phishing, malware, and scam domains. These services do not receive any data about your browsing - we download their data, they don't see yours.

For details about our data sources, please contact us.

Cloud Infrastructure

Our backend runs on secure cloud infrastructure with data processing in compliance with applicable privacy regulations. Our infrastructure providers process requests but do not have access to the content of our data.

Data Security

We implement the following security measures:

• HTTPS only - All communication with our backend is encrypted
• No user accounts - No passwords or credentials to compromise
• Minimal data - We collect only what's necessary for protection
• Anonymous IDs - Reports cannot be traced back to individuals
• Automatic deletion - Data is automatically purged after retention period

Your Rights

You have the right to:

1. Know what data we have - All data we collect is described in this policy
2. Delete your data - Clear local data via browser settings; reports are auto-deleted after 30 days
3. Opt out - Uninstall the extension at any time
4. Report concerns - Contact us with any privacy concerns

Children's Privacy

SusKat does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The extension is designed for general audiences and does not target children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be noted with a new "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be communicated through the extension update notes.
