Verel — Privacy Policy

Effective 27 September 2026 · Verel browser extension

In one sentence: Verel runs entirely on your device, never reads or transmits your passwords or recovery phrases, and sends no data to us or anyone else.

What Verel does
Verel is a browser extension that warns you, and blocks the outbound request, when a page appears to be trying to take a crypto wallet recovery phrase or brand login and send it to a website that is not the brand's official domain.

Data we collect
None. Verel does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal information. It has no analytics, no tracking, no accounts, and makes no network requests of its own.

How it works without your data

It never reads your secret. Verel does not read, store, or transmit your password or recovery phrase. It decides whether a page is dangerous from the page's identity (its address versus the brand it presents) and from where data is about to be sent — not from the secret itself.
It processes pages locally. To detect phishing, the extension inspects the content and outbound requests of the page you are on, in your browser, on your device. This information is used only in the moment, to make the block/allow decision, and is never sent anywhere.
Flagged sites stay on your device. Verel keeps a local list of the sites it has flagged (using your browser's local storage) so you can review and export them. This list never leaves your device and is never sent to us or any third party. You can clear it at any time from the extension's popup.

Permissions

Host permissions / all sites — needed so the protection can run on any page, because phishing sites use unpredictable, throwaway domains. Used only for local detection; Verel stays silent on legitimate sites.
storage — used only to keep the local list of flagged sites on your device.

Third parties
Verel does not use any third-party services, SDKs, or servers. It loads no remote code; all of its logic ships inside the extension.

Children
Verel is a general-purpose security tool and does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new effective date.

Questions about this policy can be directed to the project maintainers of Verel via the contact channel listed on the extension's Chrome Web Store page.
