This measure protects the creator's intellectual property under the Berne Convention and Canadian Copyright Act.

• Compliance & Permissions: Requested permissions (storage, tabs, activeTab, alarms, contextMenus) are strictly utilized to evaluate real-time authenticity and present non-intrusive safety indicators upon your request, in full compliance with the Google Chrome Web Store Single Purpose Policy, Canadian PIPEDA, and Quebec Law 25.
