Data Storage and Security
We implement security measures to protect the information we process:
Local Storage
Your extension settings are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. These settings remain on your device and are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly use features that require server communication.
Server Security
When the extension checks a user's status, it sends the User ID to our API server (roscoe.rotector.com). Our servers implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.
Data Encryption
All data transmission between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols. Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest.
Access Controls
Access to our systems and data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require access for legitimate business purposes. All access is logged and monitored.
We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable laws and regulations.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information with third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
Limited Sharing Circumstances
- Legal Requirements: To comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or government requests
- Safety and Security: To protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or the public
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with appropriate confidentiality agreements in place
- Service Providers: With trusted service providers who assist in operating our services, under strict confidentiality agreements
- Law Enforcement: With law enforcement agencies when required by law or to protect against illegal activities
