Privacy Policy for PhishPatrol

Effective Date: May 26, 2025

PhishPatrol is committed to protecting your privacy and providing transparency about how your data is used.

Data Collection and Use

PhishPatrol collects only the URL of the currently active tab when you explicitly request a phishing check. This URL is sent securely to a trusted external API to analyze for phishing threats. No other personal, browsing, or sensitive information is collected, stored, or shared.

User Consent

User consent is required before any URL data is transmitted. The extension will not send data or perform phishing analysis without your explicit approval.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

The phishing detection service is powered by a third-party API hosted externally. Only the URL you approve is sent to this API, and no other data is shared. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data during transmission. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Your Choices

You can choose not to use the phishing detection feature, in which case no URL data will be collected or sent. You may also revoke your consent at any time by disabling or uninstalling the extension.
