Legal
How ThreatLens handles your data — clearly and without the legalese.
Effective Date: April 15, 2026
Section 01
ThreatLens analyzes websites you visit to detect phishing, malware, and unsafe pages in real time. By installing and using this extension, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
Section 02
The following signals are collected automatically when you visit a page:
| Data Point | Why We Need It |
|---|---|
| Current Website URL (origin only) | Transmitted securely to evaluate domain reputation |
| HTTPS Status | Used as a security indicator |
| Form / iframe / script counts | Detect phishing structure patterns |
| Keyword count | Identify suspicious content signals |
| Page title | Displayed in the extension UI only |
We do not collect any of the following:
Section 03
To provide real-time threat detection, your active tab's URL and structural signals are securely transmitted over HTTPS to our analysis server:
Strict No-Retention Policy: We operate on a "scan and forget" basis. Data required to generate your security risk score is processed in memory and immediately discarded after the API responds. We do not log, retain, or store the URLs you visit or your browsing history on our servers.
Section 04
ThreatLens uses the following third-party services to operate:
No personal data is transmitted to third-party services. The Gemini API is used solely to generate human-readable threat explanations and does not receive browsing data tied to your identity.
Section 05
We do not store any user data on our servers. Temporary analysis results may be cached locally in your browser's extension storage to avoid redundant requests — this data never leaves your device.
Section 06
ThreatLens requires access to web pages you visit in order to analyze potential threats in real time. This includes all HTTP and HTTPS sites. No permission is used beyond what is strictly necessary for threat detection.
Section 07
Section 08
You are in complete control. You can disable or uninstall ThreatLens at any time via Chrome Settings → Extensions. No account is required, and uninstalling removes all locally cached data immediately.
Section 09
