User Risk: Privacy
Privacy
User Risk's browser extension is designed to deliver relevant cybersecurity insights while maintaining privacy as a priority.
When the extension logs usage:
The extension logs app usage only if both of the following conditions are met:
- The app/site the user visits is on an UpGuard configured list of business apps and sites. This list is stored in the extension.
- The user meets the time threshold for detecting usage. By default, User Risk is set to track usage after 1 minute of active interaction but you can adjust the time detection in settings.
What the extension collects:
- App name
- Browser’s IP address
- Browser User Agent (i.e. browser type and operating system)
What the extension doesn’t do or collect:
The extension only collects the information described above. Below are some examples of content the extension doesn’t collect:
- On screen content (e.g. we don’t read emails)
- Keystrokes (i.e. we don’t see what you type)
- Screen recordings (i.e. User Risk never records the users screen)
Sending information to User Risk
The browser extension frequently and regularly sends usage information back to User Risk in UpGuard. If there is new and relevant information, we update:
- the user’s score
- apps associated with the user
