1. Introduction

RIEG is an AI-powered browser security extension designed to help users detect phishing websites, malicious domains, and other potentially harmful online threats before interacting with them.

We respect user privacy and are committed to maintaining transparency about how information is handled. This Privacy Policy explains what information the RIEG extension may process, how it is used, and the safeguards in place to protect user data.

RIEG follows the principles of data minimization, transparency, and security-by-design, ensuring that only the minimum information required for security analysis is processed.

By installing or using the RIEG browser extension, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

RIEG collects only the information necessary to provide its security scanning functionality.

2.1 Account Information

If the extension requires authentication with backend services, the following information may be collected when users create an account:

• Name
• Email address

Passwords are never stored in plaintext. Authentication credentials are securely hashed and handled using industry-standard authentication practices.

2.2 URL Data for Security Analysis

To perform phishing detection and security analysis, RIEG may process the URL of the active webpage when a scan is performed.

This may include:

• The webpage URL being analyzed
• Domain information
• Metadata required to evaluate security risks

This information is used solely for security analysis purposes and is not used for advertising, profiling, or tracking browsing behavior.

RIEG does not collect full browsing history, and it does not access unrelated browsing activity outside the extension's functionality.



2.3 Device and Technical Information

To maintain secure operation and prevent unauthorized access, RIEG may process limited technical data such as:

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

This data helps verify authorized usage and ensure system reliability.



2.4 Usage and Performance Data

To improve service quality and maintain system reliability, RIEG may collect limited operational metrics, including:

• Scan timestamps
• Feature usage statistics
• Performance diagnostics
• Error logs

These analytics contain no personal browsing data and are used strictly for product improvement.



3. How We Use the Information

Information processed by RIEG is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Performing phishing and malicious URL analysis
• Generating threat intelligence and security insights
• Delivering AI-assisted explanations of security risks
• Enforcing authentication and subscription policies
• Detecting misuse or fraudulent activity
• Improving extension reliability, accuracy, and performance

RIEG does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to advertisers or marketing companies.



4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

RIEG does not share user data with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• With trusted infrastructure or cloud service providers required to operate the service

• To protect against fraud, abuse, or security threats
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets

In all cases, any data shared is limited to the minimum necessary to provide the service.



5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect user data, including:

• Secure HTTPS/TLS encryption for all network communications
• Strong authentication and access control mechanisms
• Secure storage practices and token management
• Infrastructure security monitoring
• Periodic security assessments

While we take reasonable steps to protect information, no system can guarantee absolute security.



6. Data Storage and Retention

Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention periods may depend on:

• Account activity
• Security analysis requirements
• Legal or compliance obligations

URL analysis data may be retained temporarily for threat detection and system improvement and may be anonymized or deleted according to internal retention policies.

If such information is discovered, it will be promptly deleted.
