Privacy Policy

Your settings stay in your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The only data that ever leaves your device is the word you look up in the dictionary, and the pictures of an article you choose to save with them.

Effective July 9, 2026 Last Updated September 21, 2026

A Privacy-First Reading Tool

This Privacy Policy describes how Accessibility Reader ("the extension") handles information. Accessibility Reader is developed and published by FullCourt Press LLC ("we", "us").

Accessibility Reader does not collect, sell, or share personal information. It has no user accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. Your reading preferences are stored locally in your browser. The single exception to "nothing leaves your device" is the optional dictionary lookup, described in full below.

Local-Only Settings Storage
No Tracking Zero Analytics SDKs
No Account Nothing to Sign Up For
One Word Max Data Sent, Per Lookup

Information Stored
In Your Browser

Accessibility Reader stores the following information locally in your browser, using Chrome's extension storage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third party:

  • Your reading preferences — font choice, text size, line spacing, alignment, margins, dark mode, and brightness.
  • Your toolbar preferences — which buttons are shown, which side of the screen the bar sits on, its position, and its fade behavior.
  • The on/off state of the reader for your browsing session.

This information is removed when you uninstall the extension or clear the extension's data through your browser settings.

When The Extension Reaches Out

When you select a single word inside the reading view, the extension sends that word only to Wiktionary's public API (en.wiktionary.org), a third-party service, over an encrypted HTTPS connection, to fetch its definition. If that word turns out to be a form of another word — “depended” rather than “depend” — the base word is then sent to Datamuse's public API (api.datamuse.com), also over an encrypted HTTPS connection, so that what you see is a definition and not merely a note about grammar. Datamuse is used in the same way if Wiktionary cannot answer at all. No other information is sent to either one — no page URL, no account identifier, no browsing history.

We do not store, log, or have access to the words you look up. The lookup happens only when you deliberately select a word; if you never use the feature, no dictionary request is ever made. Both are independent services, and their handling of requests is governed by their own policies.

One other thing reaches the network, and only when you ask for it: saving an article as an EPUB with its pictures. To place those pictures inside the file, the extension downloads them from the same addresses the page you are already reading loaded them from — no other service is involved, nothing about you is sent anywhere, and the file itself is assembled on your device. Saving as text, or sharing an article, makes no network request at all.

What We Request,
And Why

Accessibility Reader requests the following browser permissions, each used solely for the purpose described:

👆
Active Tab

Lets the extension act on the page you're viewing when you click the toolbar icon. The extension does nothing on a page until you invoke it.

Required
📜
Scripting

Required to inject the reading view and floating toolbar into the page when you turn the reader on.

Required
💾
Storage

Required to save your reading and toolbar preferences locally, so the reader looks the way you set it up on every page.

Required
🌐
Site Access

Required so the reading view works on any article page you choose to use it on, and so dictionary definitions can be fetched. The extension does not read, collect, or transmit page content.

Required

Text-to-Speech Is On-Device

The Read Aloud feature uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis. The article text is spoken by your device — it is not sent to us or to any external speech service by the extension.

Use by Minors

Accessibility Reader is suitable for readers of all ages. Because the extension does not collect personal information, it does not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes on the Chrome Web Store.
