⚡ Focus Speed Reader — Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Focus Speed Reader (“the extension”) is a browser extension that lets you speed-read the text of the web page you're on, one word at a time, in a focused overlay. This policy explains exactly what it does with data.

The short version

The extension has no servers and no account. It collects no personal information and transmits nothing off your device. The only thing it saves is your preferred reading speed, stored locally in your browser.

What it accesses

When — and only when — you click the extension's icon or press its keyboard shortcut on a page, it reads the visible text of that page so it can display it back to you one word at a time. This uses the activeTab permission, which grants access to a tab only on your explicit action. The extension has no standing access to your browsing and does not run on pages you haven't activated it on.

What it stores

The extension saves your reading-speed preference (words per minute) and whether “Ramp” mode is on, using chrome.storage.local. This stays on your device and is removed if you uninstall the extension. Nothing else is stored.

What it does NOT do

• No data is sent to the developer or any third party — there is no network request at all.
• No analytics, advertising, tracking, or cookies.
• No collection of personal, health, financial, location, or browsing-history data.
• No selling or sharing of data — there is no data to sell.

Permissions summary

• activeTab — read the current page's text, only when you activate the extension.
• scripting — display the reading overlay on the current page.
• storage — remember your reading-speed preference locally.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above will be updated and the new version posted at this URL.
