Privacy Policy for NetArmature

Last updated: 12 de agosto de 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the NetArmature Chrome extension (“NetArmature,” “the extension,” “we”) accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored. NetArmature is a scam-detection tool for jobs, rental listings, travel bookings, and money-transfer sites.

Summary

NetArmature analyzes the content of web pages you visit to warn you about possible scams. All analysis happens locally, in your own browser. NetArmature does not operate its own servers, does not create user accounts, and does not sell, rent, or share your data with any third party. The only outside network requests NetArmature makes are public domain-lookup queries described below.

Information NetArmature Accesses

To do its job, NetArmature reads the following from the pages you visit:

• Page content: the visible text, title, and URL of the current page.
• Navigation activity within a tab: the sequence of pages visited in a single browser tab, including how each page was reached (typed, clicked, or redirected), used only to detect suspicious redirect chains (a common scam technique).
• Domain names: the domain of the page you’re viewing, used to check its registration age (see “Domain Age Lookups” below) and to compare it against a small built-in list of well-known legitimate platforms.

NetArmature does not access your browsing history outside of the currently open tab, your saved passwords, your files, your keystrokes, or the content of other tabs or windows you have not interacted with.

Where Your Data Is Processed and Stored

• Analysis runs locally. The scam-detection logic executes entirely inside your browser (in the extension’s background script and popup). Page content is never transmitted to NetArmature or to any server we operate — because no such server exists.
• Local storage only. NetArmature uses your browser’s built-in chrome.storage.local to keep:
  • A short-lived, per-tab navigation history (capped in size, and cleared automatically when a tab closes), used only to detect redirect chains.
  • An optional feedback log: if you tap the 👍 / 👎 buttons after an analysis, we store the page’s domain (not the full URL), the detected category, the risk level and score, and your rating. This is capped at 500 entries and stays on your device — it is used only to help evaluate and improve NetArmature’s detection accuracy over time. It is never uploaded anywhere.
• Your selected language is stored locally so the extension remembers your preference between sessions.

None of this data leaves your device. We do not have access to it, and we cannot see it.

Domain Age Lookups (the only outside network requests)

To help judge whether a domain looks newly registered (a common scam indicator), NetArmature queries public RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) servers — the modern, standardized replacement for WHOIS — for the domain of the page you’re currently viewing:

• rdap.org
• rdap.verisign.com
• rdap.denic.de
• rdap.nic.io
• rdap.nic.ai

These are public domain-registry lookup services, queried the same way any WHOIS/RDAP client would. Only the domain name itself is sent — no personal information, browsing history, or page content is included in these requests. These queries are subject to the privacy practices of the RDAP operators listed above, which NetArmature does not control.

No Ads, No Tracking, No Selling of Data

NetArmature does not display ads, does not use third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, does not sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers, and does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use it.

Permissions NetArmature Requests, and Why

• activeTab / scripting: to read the content of the page you ask NetArmature to analyze.
• webNavigation: to detect redirect chains within a tab (a common scam technique), as described above.
• storage: to save the local-only data described above.
• Host permissions for the RDAP domains listed above: to perform the domain-age lookups described above.

NetArmature does not request access to your browsing history, bookmarks, downloads, or any data beyond what’s described in this policy.

Children’s Privacy

NetArmature is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, note them in the extension’s Chrome Web Store listing.
