Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Soter ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Soter Guard browser extension and related services.

2. Information We Collect

The Soter Guard extension collects the following types of information:

• Authentication Token: A secure token stored locally to maintain your login session with the Soter platform.
• X/Twitter Handle: Your public X username to identify your account within the Soter moderation system.
• Website Content: Tweet text and URLs from X.com pages are analyzed locally and sent to our servers to detect potential scams and phishing attempts.
• Moderation Actions: Records of moderation actions (bans, post removals) you perform as a community moderator.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for:

• Authenticating your access to the Soter moderation platform
• Analyzing posts for scam and phishing content to protect X communities
• Maintaining audit logs of moderation actions for community transparency
• Improving our scam detection algorithms

4. Data Storage and Security

Your authentication token is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's secure storage API. Moderation data and flagged content are stored on our secure servers with encryption at rest and in transit.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data about scam patterns for security research purposes.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
