This Privacy Policy describes how the Website Security Scanner Chrome extension (“the Extension”) collects, uses, and handles user data.

Data Collection and Use

Website URLs:
The Extension sends website URLs to the following third-party APIs for security checks:
Google Safe Browsing API: To check if the website is flagged as malicious.
VirusTotal API: To scan for vulnerabilities and check the website’s reputation.
This process is essential for the core functionality of the Extension, which is to provide security assessments of websites.

API Keys:
Your API keys for Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal are stored locally within the Extension’s settings.
These keys are necessary to access the respective APIs.

All data, including API keys and extension settings, is stored locally in your browser’s storage.
The Extension does not transmit this data to any external servers, except for the API requests mentioned above.
No browsing history or personal data is collected or stored by the Extension.

Data Sharing

Third-Party APIs:
Website URLs are shared with Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal APIs to perform security checks.
The Extension does not share any other user data with third parties.
Please refer to the privacy policies of Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal to understand how they handle data.

Data Security

The Extension takes reasonable measures to protect user data stored locally.
However, please be aware that no security measures can guarantee absolute protection.
