1. Introduction

At RIEG, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how RIEG, a browser extension designed to detect phishing URLs and provide security insights, collects, uses, and shares information when you install and use the extension. This policy is designed to be clear, transparent, and compliant with applicable privacy laws and the Chrome Web Store's privacy requirements.

By installing or using RIEG, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Data Collection

RIEG collects only the information necessary to deliver its core phishing detection and security analysis features. We adhere to a data minimization principle—we collect the least amount of information needed to provide the service.

2.1 User-Provided Information

When you create an account or interact with RIEG's backend services, we may collect:

  • Name
  • Email address

We do not store passwords in plaintext, and sensitive credentials are securely hashed or encrypted.

2.2 URLs and Web Content for Scanning

RIEG needs access to the URLs in your active browser tab only when you request a security scan. We collect:

  • The URL being scanned
  • Domain and metadata required for threat analysis

We do not track your full browsing history or access unrelated web activity. Any URL data is used solely for delivering security scanning functionality, as described in the extension's core purpose.

2.3 Technical and Device Data

To enforce authentication, manage devices, and ensure secure operation, we may process:

  • Device identifier
  • Browser type and version
  • Extension version
  • Authentication token status

This information helps RIEG determine authorized access and ensure service integrity.

2.4 Usage Analytics

We may collect limited analytics to improve reliability and usage experience, including:

  • Scan timestamps
  • Feature usage metrics
  • Non-sensitive error or performance logs

These analytics help us enhance product quality while still respecting user privacy.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect strictly for the purposes of:

  • Performing real-time URL and phishing analysis
  • Generating security and threat reports
  • Delivering AI-assisted explanations
  • Enforcing user authentication and subscription policies
  • Detecting abuse or fraudulent activity
  • Improving RIEG's performance and reliability

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for advertising or marketing.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

RIEG does not share your data with third parties except under strictly limited circumstances:

  • With trusted service providers as necessary to operate and improve RIEG (for example, cloud hosting or authentication services)
  • To comply with applicable laws, regulation, or legal process
  • To protect against fraud, abuse, or security threats
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets

In all cases, data sharing is limited to what is necessary and authorized.

5. Security Measures

We employ industry-standard measures to protect your data, including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all network communication
  • Secure authentication and token handling
  • Access control to backend systems
  • Regular security monitoring and vulnerability assessments

Though we strive to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Storage and Retention

RIEG stores user data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as:

  • Supporting your account and service usage
  • Fulfilling security and audit requirements
  • Complying with legal obligations

Your data are retained only for the time needed to complete analysis and may be deleted per user request or retention policy.

7. User Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccuracies in your information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt out of non-essential analytics

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address provided above.
