Your Privacy is Our Priority
EvolveSafe is built on the principle that security and privacy go hand in hand. This policy explains exactly how we protect your data while keeping you safe online.
Our Privacy Principles
Minimal Data Collection
We collect only what's necessary for protection. Most analysis happens locally on your device without sending data to our servers.
Transparency
We clearly explain what data we collect, why we need it, and how it's used. No hidden data collection or surprising uses.
Anonymous Intelligence
When we do collect threat data, it's anonymized and aggregated. Individual browsing patterns are never stored or analyzed.
No Data Sales
We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Our business model is based on security, not surveillance.
What Information We Collect
Local Analysis Data
Most of EvolveSafe's protection happens locally on your device:
- Page structure and content analysis (processed locally, not stored)
- JavaScript behavior patterns (analyzed in real-time, not retained)
- URL and domain characteristics (compared against local threat databases)
Anonymous Threat Intelligence
To improve protection for everyone, we collect anonymized data about threats:
- Anonymized indicators of confirmed threats (no personal identifiers)
- Aggregated statistics about threat types and frequencies
- Anonymized feedback about false positives to improve accuracy
Technical Information
Basic technical data to ensure EvolveSafe works properly:
- Extension version and browser type
- Error logs and crash reports (anonymized)
- Performance metrics (response times, resource usage)
What We Don't Collect
- ✓ No browsing history - We don't track what sites you visit
- ✓ No personal information - No names, emails, or personal data
- ✓ No form data - We don't see what you type in forms
- ✓ No authentication data - Passwords and login info stay private
- ✓ No behavioral profiles - We don't build profiles of your habits
- ✓ No cross-site tracking - We don't track you across websites
How We Use Information
Security Protection
All data collection serves one primary purpose: protecting you and the broader community from online threats. We use anonymized threat intelligence to improve our detection algorithms and share indicators with the security community.
Service Improvement
Technical metrics help us optimize EvolveSafe's performance and fix bugs. All improvement data is aggregated and anonymized.
Data Retention
Local Data: Most analysis happens locally and is immediately discarded after processing. No browsing data is stored long-term.
Threat Intelligence: Anonymized threat indicators are retained to maintain protection effectiveness. This data contains no personal identifiers.
Technical Logs: Error logs and performance metrics are retained for 30 days for debugging purposes, then automatically deleted.
Your Rights
Since EvolveSafe operates with minimal data collection, most of your privacy is protected by design. However, you always have the right to:
- Disable threat intelligence sharing (local protection continues)
- Request deletion of any technical data we may have
- Opt out of error reporting and performance metrics
- Uninstall EvolveSafe at any time with no data retention
