Privacy policy

Data FocusReader handles

FocusReader locally processes current page HTML when you open reader mode, selected quote text, page title, URL, domain, timestamp, optional category, reader preferences, and local license status.

How data is used

This data is used only to provide reader mode, quote saving, quote organization, Markdown export, and PRO license validation.

Storage and transfer

FocusReader stores saved quotes, preferences, and license status in Chrome local storage on your device. Temporary page captures used for reader mode are kept in Chrome session storage and cleaned up automatically.

Saved quotes, page content, browsing data, reader preferences, and categories are not transmitted to FocusReader servers. When you activate or periodically recheck PRO, the license key is sent over HTTPS to the FocusReader license service. The service returns only whether the license is active.

Payments

Stripe processes FocusReader PRO payments on its hosted checkout. FocusReader does not receive or store card numbers. Stripe may process purchase details according to its own privacy policy. FocusReader uses the completed checkout session only to issue and validate a PRO license.

Sharing and advertising

FocusReader does not sell user data and does not use it for personalized advertising, retargeting, credit decisions, or unrelated purposes. License validation data is used only to confirm PRO access.

Limited Use disclosure

FocusReader uses information received from Chrome APIs only to provide its single purpose: reader mode and source-backed quote saving. FocusReader's use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
