# Privacy Policy - Accessibility Screen Reader

## General Information

**Last updated:** June 7, 2025

This privacy policy describes how the "Accessibility Screen Reader" extension collects, uses, and protects user information.

## Data Collection

The "Accessibility Screen Reader" extension is designed to function with minimal data collection:

1. **User Settings**: The extension locally stores user preferences (such as speech rate, volume, display options) using Chrome's synchronized storage (`chrome.storage.sync`). This data is stored in the user's browser and synchronized with their Google account to maintain consistency across devices.

2. **Page Data**: The extension processes the content of web pages that the user visits to provide screen reader functionality. This processing occurs entirely on the user's device.

## Data Usage

The collected data is used exclusively for:

- Providing the core functionality of the extension (screen reading)
- Maintaining user preferences across sessions and devices
- Improving the accessibility experience

## Data Sharing

The "Accessibility Screen Reader" extension **does not share** any user data with third parties. We do not send data to external servers or use analytics services.

## Data Security

All data is stored locally in the user's browser or synchronized with their Google account through the secure mechanisms provided by Chrome.

## User Rights

Users have the right to:

- Access their stored settings
- Modify their preferences at any time
- Delete their data by uninstalling the extension

## Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
