To protect you on any page you visit, the extension's content scanner needs to run across all sites. By default, it does nothing until you trigger a scan or enable auto-protection in settings. When active, it only analyzes visible page text, link destinations, and form structures. It never reads passwords, form inputs, or browsing history. All analysis is sent over encrypted HTTPS to getcyberright.com only.
