## Description

ShieldIQ has a single, clear purpose: to protect users while they browse streaming platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, or Crunchyroll. The extension detects and blocks phishing links in real time, prevents fake login pages from appearing, and scans downloaded files for threats — without collecting or transmitting any personal data to the cloud. ShieldIQ does not store, share, or use user data for advertising or analytics. All security checks are performed locally within the browser. The extension follows a strict "privacy by design" approach, ensuring full compliance with Chrome Web Store policies. ShieldIQ’s sole mission is to strengthen user safety online without compromising privacy.
