DefendMe AI Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 11/1/2024
Thank you for choosing DefendMe.AI as your personal cybersecurity assistant. At DefendMe.AI, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your data. This privacy policy explains how we handle and protect your information.
1. What Data Do We Collect?
DefendMe.AI operates without requiring any personally identifiable information (PII) such as name, email address, or other user-specific details. Our extension does not collect or associate data with individual users, ensuring complete privacy.
2. How Does DefendMe.AI Protect You?
DefendMe.AI identifies both known and unknown phishing threats to safeguard your online browsing:
- Known Threat Detection: We use locally stored threat databases to detect and block known phishing attempts and malicious websites directly on your device. This protects you without sending browsing data elsewhere.
- Unknown Threat Detection: For new or unknown sites, DefendMe.AI queries our proprietary Large Language Model (LLM), developed exclusively for phishing detection. This model is securely accessed and not publicly shared, and it assesses the page’s safety without collecting or linking browsing data to individual users.
3. Sharing Malicious Site Information
If a website is identified as malicious, DefendMe.AI shares this information with Quad9.net, a nonprofit organization dedicated to DNS layer security. Quad9 uses this data to enhance global internet safety by blocking malicious sites for over 150 million users. No personal user information is shared during this process; only the malicious URL is reported.
4. Data Security and Retention
DefendMe.AI does not store any data linked to individual users. We do not retain any browsing history or user-specific information.
5. Your Privacy Rights
At DefendMe.AI, we respect your privacy. We do not share, sell, or disclose any user data to third parties for marketing or any other purposes.
6. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we’ll post the updated policy here with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we’re protecting your data.
