Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Reader Mode collects absolutely zero personal data from users and only collects the anonymous click stream data - strictly only when given Consent by the User (via a Consent Pop up) and is being sent to our backend via an API post call for analysis and to ensure smooth operation of the features of the extension:

100% ANONYMOUS DATA which is collected automatically:

• web browser type and version.

• Users’ IPs which are not stored, but are used to derive non-identifiable items of information, such as your approximate geographic location.

• Randomly assigned unique identifier of the extension – Unique ID, which in no way doesn’t allow us to identify the user.

• the URLs that have been viewed by our users, but on an anonymized basis, such that we do not know which user accessed which domain (we also aggregate this information on an approximately monthly basis). We do this to monitor, support and optimize Reader Mode.

Want to know how we use the above collected anonymous data? Read on!

• Web browser type and version are used to provide, enable and enhance operation of our services and to get statistical information about user experience.

• Unique ID is collected in order to provide, enable and enhance operation of our Services and to get statistical information about user experience.

• We collect URLs visited by users to operate Reader Mode smoothly and ensure our marketing is aligned.
