Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Book Reading Tracker Chrome Extension (“the Extension”) handles user data. We respect your privacy and are committed to maintaining transparency about data handling and protection.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) from users. All book-related data such as titles, authors, and reading progress are stored locally on your device using Chrome’s local storage APIs.

3. Permissions Explanation

• notifications — used to remind you of reading goals or milestones.
• contextMenus — allows adding selected text on a webpage directly to your book list.
• alarms — schedules periodic reminders or goal checks.

No permission is used to collect or share personal or browsing data.

4. Data Storage and Access

All your book and progress data are saved locally in your Chrome browser. The extension never transmits this information to any server or third-party service.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share any user data. The extension does not connect to any external analytics or advertising services.

6. User Control and Data Deletion

You can delete all stored data at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing its local storage via Chrome settings (chrome://settings/siteData).

7. Third-Party Services

The extension may use OpenLibrary.org to fetch book metadata when searching for books. This interaction is anonymous and contains no personal information.

8. Security

We follow best practices to ensure your data remains secure and local to your browser. Since no data is transmitted, the risk of data breaches or leaks is minimized.
