Privacy Policy

• Full analysis (click): a complete AI analysis runs when you open the side panel by clicking the toolbar icon. It analyzes only the tab you're looking at.
• Known-site coloring (on by default): to color the toolbar icon for sites that have already been rated, Syte.Lens does a lightweight, anonymous domain-only lookup against the shared ratings cache on each visit. No page content is sent and no new analysis runs (it's a cache read). If the site isn't already rated, the icon stays neutral. Toggle it off in Settings ("Show ratings for already-rated sites").

On each visit (for known-site coloring), we send only the root domain to look it up in the ratings cache, nothing else. When a full analysis runs (you click, or auto-scan is on), we additionally send:

• The site's root domain (e.g. example.com).
• For the page you're actively checking: its title, meta description, and a short sample of visible text (about 500 characters).
• The names of any ad-tracking parameters in the URL (e.g. utm_source), used to flag ad funnels.
• Whether the connection is HTTPS.

• The full URL, path, or query-string values.
• Form inputs, passwords, or anything you type.
• Cookies, user IDs, accounts, or any identifier that ties activity to you.
• A history or log of the sites you visit.

Verdicts are cached by domain only, in a single cache shared by all users. There is no per-user data, so a cached verdict cannot be traced back to any individual. We do not use cookies or analytics in the extension.

When you analyze a site, the minimal signals above are processed by:

We send these providers only what's listed, never your identity or browsing history.

• The extension (client) source is public on GitHub. Read every line that runs in your browser.
• An independent third-party security audit is planned once the project reaches meaningful adoption; the result will be published here.
