This privacy policy explains how SpyBye handles your data and protects your privacy.
TL;DR: SpyBye runs 100% locally in your browser. We do not collect or transmit any information about you, your browser, or your extensions. Everything happens on your device only.
1. Information Collection
SpyBye is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here's our approach to your data:
No Data Collection: SpyBye does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or data about your browsing habits, installed extensions, or device specifications.
Local Processing Only: All scanning functionality happens entirely on your device. The list of malicious extensions is included in the extension itself, and no external API calls are made to retrieve this information.
No Telemetry or Analytics: SpyBye does not include any usage tracking, analytics, or telemetry features.
No Accounts Required: SpyBye does not require any user accounts, registration, or login information.
2. Permissions
SpyBye requires the following Chrome permission:
management: This permission is required to access Chrome's Management API, which allows SpyBye to read the list of installed extensions in your browser. This is the minimum permission needed for SpyBye to function properly. We use this permission only to compare your installed extensions against our local database of known malicious extensions.
SpyBye does NOT request permissions for:
Accessing your browsing history
Accessing website data or cookies
Reading or modifying your data on websites
Accessing the internet or making network requests
3. Data Security
Since SpyBye does not collect, store, or transmit any data, there are no data security concerns regarding information leaving your device. All processing happens locally within your browser.
4. Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated privacy policy on our website at https://allitservice.com/resources/spybye/privacy.html.
5. Open Source
SpyBye is built to be transparent about its operation. You can verify that SpyBye does not collect data by examining the code, which contains no network requests outside of the Chrome API functionality needed to scan for the malicious extensions.
