LightRead browser extension privacy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

This policy applies to the LightRead browser extension and the accompanying LightRead website services.

1. What the extension does

LightRead helps you extract content from the web page or document you are viewing and submit it to LightRead for reading, organization, search, summaries, and AI conversations.

2. Information we process

Content you submit

When you actively send a page, document, selected text, or other content through the extension, LightRead processes that content to carry out your request.

Page and browser context

To perform its functions on the current page, the extension may access the current tab, page address, page structure, and browser context directly related to the requested operation.

Local configuration and state

The extension may store necessary configuration, feature state, preferences, or temporary data in browser local storage.

Account and conversation information

When you use LightRead website search, reading, or AI conversation features, LightRead may process your inputs, conversation context, and results to provide those features.

3. How we use this information

We use this information to:

  • Respond to content extraction, organization, search, and AI conversation requests you initiate.
  • Run the extension's functions and interactions on the current page.
  • Save necessary local configuration and feature state.
  • Diagnose problems and improve service stability and product experience.

4. Limits on use

We do not continuously upload the content of pages you visit without your active operation. We do not sell content you submit or use it for advertising targeting unrelated to the requested functions.

5. Storage and transmission

Some configuration data remains in browser local storage. Content you actively submit is sent to LightRead through encrypted connections. We take reasonable security measures to protect data in transit.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or the content you submit. Relevant data may be processed or shared as necessary to provide the service, comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, protect service security, diagnose problems, or prevent abuse.

7. Content and third-party services

Submit only content you are entitled to access and use. The extension may interact with third-party web pages and browser interfaces. Those websites have their own content access rules, terms, and privacy policies.

8. Your choices

You can stop triggering extension functions, uninstall the extension, clear its locally stored browser data, or stop using LightRead website services.

9. Policy updates

We may update this policy as the product or service changes. The current version and update date will appear on this page.

10. Contact

The main LightRead privacy policy also describes how LightRead website services handle account and conversation data.
