Privacy Policy

1. Overview

viri ("we", "us", or "our") provides a Chrome browser extension designed to enhance the security of your cryptocurrency transactions. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the viri extension.

Our primary goal is to help you avoid permanent mistakes in crypto transactions by providing real-time warnings about potential risks.

2. Data Collection and Usage

We believe in minimal data collection. To provide our security features, viri processes the following information:

• Wallet Addresses: When you interact with a crypto transaction, viri analyzes the destination address locally to check against known suspicious or look-alike patterns.
• Clipboard Data: viri monitors your clipboard specifically for cryptocurrency addresses to detect if an address has been swapped by malicious software (clipboard hijacking). This data never leaves your device.
• Website URLs: To protect against phishing, viri checks the URLs of websites you visit against a database of known malicious crypto-related sites.

Important: We do not collect, store, or transmit your private keys, seed phrases, or personal identity information.

3. How We Protect Your Data

viri is designed to run quietly in the background with a focus on local processing.

• Local Analysis: Most security checks are performed directly within your browser.
• No Tracking: We do not track your browsing history or build a profile of your activities.
• No Control: viri has no control over your funds and cannot block or execute transactions on your behalf.

4. Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties. We may use reputable third-party security databases to verify phishing links, but this is done in a way that protects your anonymity.

5. Compliance with Chrome Web Store Policies

viri complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only request the permissions necessary to provide our security features and do not use your data for any other purposes.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
