Who I am
ClarityRead is created and maintained by me, Tonna Agburu, an independent developer. I built this extension to make reading on the web easier through dyslexia-friendly fonts, reflowed reading, read-aloud, and a local summarizer.
Privacy Policy · Local-first guarantees
ClarityRead is private by default.
Last updated: 2025-10-23
ClarityRead is designed to keep page content, selections, preferences, saved reads, and reading stats local by default. This policy highlights what stays on your device, what is never collected by default, and how any future cloud feature would require clear opt-in consent.
Quick scan
Quick Summary (TL;DR)
- I don’t send your page content or selections to any server by default — everything runs locally in your browser.
- Your preferences, saved reads, and stats are stored only on your device.
- I don’t collect personal data unless you choose to share it, such as by emailing support.
- Optional cloud features may be added in the future, but they’ll always be opt-in and clearly explained.
- You can contact me anytime at clarityread.support@gmail.com.
No remote data transfer by default
ClarityRead does not send page content or user selections to any remote server by default. The summarizer and text-to-speech use only your browser’s built-in capabilities unless you explicitly enable an optional cloud feature.
What I store locally
- Preferences — font choice, reflow, high contrast, and voice settings in
chrome.storage.local. - Saved reads / summaries — stored locally in your browser profile.
- Reading statistics — aggregated locally for charts and usage insights.
- Export / Import — JSON files are fully under your control.
What I do NOT collect
- I do not collect or store browsing history, page URLs, or page content on any server by default.
- I do not collect personal data or identifiable information unless you explicitly provide it.
Optional cloud features
If optional cloud features are added in the future, they will be clearly marked in the UI and will only be used after explicit consent. ClarityRead will explain exactly what data is sent and to which host.
Text-to-speech
ClarityRead uses your browser’s built-in speech synthesis. No audio or text is sent to external services for text-to-speech unless you explicitly enable an optional cloud TTS feature.
Security & retention
Data stored locally remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the extension. If an optional cloud feature is enabled, its retention policy will be described in the opt-in dialog.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy occasionally. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect the most recent changes.
Questions?
Privacy should never feel mysterious.
