Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 26, 2026

Reading Assistant ("we", "our", "us") values your privacy. This privacy policy applies to our Chrome Extension and landing page service.

1. Personal Information Collection

Reading Assistant does not collect, record, save, store, or share any personal identity information, search query databases, page navigation details, or clipboard records. All computations, text alterations, and layout adjustments are executed in real time in your local tab session.

2. Extension Permissions & Usage

Our extension uses the following Chrome API interfaces:
• activeTab / Content Script Host Permissions: Needed to render reading guides and restructure typography (e.g. bionify text blocks) directly on the web pages you visit.
• storage: Used to save custom client-side configuration parameters (cursor sizes, audio rates, dark theme toggle state) locally so they remain unchanged between navigation activities.
• contextMenus: Allows highlighting blocks to trigger speed reading panels or text-to-speech directly from the mouse context menu.

3. Security and Third Parties

No webpage contents are sent to external cloud databases. Text-to-Speech synthesis relies on the browser's built-in Web Speech API, which runs native to your OS. We do not use third-party tracking services or ad networks.

4. Policy Updates

We may update this policy occasionally. Any updates will be reflected in this modal window and updated version package documentation notes.
