Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Scam Shield is a browser extension developed by Arthiva Labs to help users evaluate websites for common trust and scam-risk signals. This Privacy Policy explains how Scam Shield handles information when you use the extension and related services.

1. Website Analysis

Scam Shield analyzes the webpage you choose to scan in order to identify common website trust and scam-risk signals.

This analysis may include signals such as secure connections, domain patterns, forms, password fields, payment-related fields, external links, and other webpage characteristics relevant to the extension's rule-based analysis.

Scam Shield uses this information to generate informational scan results, including a Trust Score and explanations of detected signals.

2. Personal Information

Scam Shield is not designed to collect personal information such as your name, address, passwords, private messages, or the contents you enter into website forms.

Scam Shield does not sell personal information.

3. Local Storage

Scam Shield may use browser storage to save information required for the extension to function. This may include preferences, usage-related settings, scan-related information, or Scam Shield Pro access status.

Information stored locally is used to support the extension's functionality and user experience.

4. Scam Shield Pro and Payments

Scam Shield Pro is available through a one-time purchase.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Razorpay or PayPal through Arthiva Labs' payment infrastructure.

Scam Shield does not directly collect or store your complete payment card or banking information. Payment information is handled by the applicable third-party payment provider according to its own privacy and security practices.

After a successful payment, an activation credential may be generated to enable Scam Shield Pro access.

5. Data Sharing

Scam Shield does not sell user data.

Information may be processed by third-party services only when necessary to provide specific functionality, such as payment processing.

We may also disclose information when required to comply with applicable laws, legal obligations, or valid governmental requests.

6. Browser Permissions

Scam Shield may request browser permissions necessary to analyze the webpage selected by the user and provide its core functionality.

Depending on the extension version, these permissions may include access required to interact with the active browser tab, execute website analysis, and store extension-related information.

          Scam Shield uses browser permissions to provide its
          stated website analysis and extension functionality.
          Permissions are not intended to be used for unrelated
          tracking or advertising purposes.
        

7. Security

Arthiva Labs takes reasonable measures to protect information associated with Scam Shield and its services.

However, no software, browser extension, website, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Important Disclaimer

Scam Shield provides informational, rule-based website analysis designed to help users make more informed decisions while browsing.

Scam Shield's Trust Score and scan results are not a guarantee that a website is safe, unsafe, legitimate, fraudulent, secure, or malicious.

Users should continue to exercise their own judgment when visiting unfamiliar websites, sharing personal information, downloading files, or making online payments.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to Scam Shield, Arthiva Labs' services, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

The latest version of this Privacy Policy will be made available on this page.
