Privacy Policy

Your settings stay in your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The only data that ever leaves your device is a single word when you look up a definition.

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.

One Word Max Data Sent, Per Lookup

// Local Storage

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.

// Dictionary Lookup

The One Network Request We Make

When you select a single word inside the reading view, the extension sends that word only to the Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev), a third-party service, over an encrypted HTTPS connection, to fetch its definition. No other information is sent — 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 network request is ever made. The Free Dictionary API is an independent service, and its handling of requests is governed by its own policies.

// Browser Permissions

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

// Read Aloud

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.

// Children

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.

// Policy Updates

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.
