URL and Page Data

  • Focus time: Time the page was actively focused
  • Idle time: Time with no user activity
  • Exit type: How you left the page (navigation, close, back button, etc.)

IOC Detection Data

The Extension automatically scans page content to detect potential Indicators of Compromise including:

  • IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6)
  • Domain names
  • URLs
  • File hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256)

How We Use Your Information

Primary Purposes

  1. Authentication: To verify your identity and maintain secure sessions
  2. Investigation Tracking: To record and organize URLs and IOCs relevant to your security investigations
  3. Threat Intelligence: To detect and analyze potential security threats
  4. Analytics: To provide engagement metrics that help assess investigation thoroughness
  5. Session Management: To track active investigation sessions and ensure data is attributed correctly

We Do NOT Use Your Data For

  • Advertising or marketing purposes

  • Any purpose other than security investigation support

Data Storage and Transmission

Local Storage

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage API (chrome.storage.local) to store:

  • Authentication tokens (access and refresh tokens)
  • Session identifiers
  • User preferences and settings
  • Active investigation state

This data is stored locally on your device and is cleared when you log out.

Data Transmission

All data transmission occurs:

  • Over HTTPS: All connections use TLS 1.2 or higher encryption
  • To your organization's server: Data is sent to the backend server configured by your organization
  • With authentication: All API requests include secure authentication tokens

Data Retention

  • Local data: Cleared immediately upon logout
  • Server-side data: Retained according to your organization's data retention policies
  • Session data: Active investigation data is batched and submitted periodically (every 30 seconds) or upon session end

Permissions Explained

The Extension requires the following Chrome permissions:

Permission Purpose Data Access
storage Store authentication tokens and settings locally Local storage only
activeTab Interact with the current tab for data capture Current tab only, user-initiated
tabs Monitor tab changes during investigations Tab URL and title only
contextMenus Provide right-click menu options No data access
notifications Display status notifications No data access
webNavigation Track page navigation during investigations Navigation events only
scripting Inject content scripts for IOC detection Page content during active sessions
sidePanel Display investigation results panel No additional data access

Host Permissions

The Extension requires access to:

  • Your organization's API server (e.g., https://api.yourdomain.com)
  • All URLs (<all_urls>) for content script injection during IOC detection
Note: The <all_urls> permission is required to scan any webpage for IOCs during active investigation sessions. The Extension only accesses page content when explicitly triggered by the user.
