## Description

Upwork Email Guard automatically detects email addresses and phone numbers in your messages before you send them. Sharing contact info outside of an active contract violates Upwork's Terms of Service and can result in account suspension or a permanent ban.

When contact info is detected, the extension disables the Send button and Enter key, and shows a warning banner. If you have an active contract and intentionally want to share, you can dismiss the warning and send anyway.

Features:
<ul><li>Real-time detection of emails and phone numbers in message inputs</li><li>Blocks Send button and Enter key when contact info is found</li><li>Dismiss option for users with active contracts</li><li>Lightweight, no data collected, works entirely in your browser</li></ul>
