Reading Progress Chrome Extension
Last Updated: December 28, 2024
This Privacy Policy describes how Reading Progress ("we", "our", or "the Extension") handles information when you use our Chrome extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
1. Information Collection
Reading Progress does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers. All data processing occurs locally on your device.
2. Data Storage
The extension uses Chrome's local storage API to store:
- Your reading progress on web pages
- Your extension preferences and settings
- Tab information for tracking progress
All this data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to any external servers.
3. Permissions Used
The extension requires the following permissions:
- Storage: To save your reading progress and preferences locally
- Tabs: To track which pages you're reading and your progress
- ActiveTab: To access the current tab for progress tracking
- SidePanel: To display the progress panel
- Host Permissions (<all_urls>): To enable reading progress tracking on any website you visit
These permissions are used solely to provide the extension's core functionality.
4. Third-Party Services
Reading Progress does not use any third-party analytics, tracking services, or advertising networks. We do not share any data with third parties.
5. Data Security
Since all data remains on your local device, your information is protected by your device's security measures. We do not have access to your data.
6. User Rights
You have full control over your data:
- You can clear all stored data by removing the extension
- You can view and modify your settings at any time
- No account creation is required to use the extension
7. Children's Privacy
