Dyslexia Reader Assist Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 13, 2026

Dyslexia Reader Assist (“Dyslexia Reader Assist”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a browser extension that provides reading-support tools for web pages, including text-to-speech, dyslexia-friendly font changes, spacing changes, text size changes, reading ruler features, colour underlays, and toolbar controls.

  1. What the extension does

This extension can read and modify the content of web pages in your browser so it can:

  1. What information is accessed

The extension may access:

  1. What information is not collected

Dyslexia Reader Assist does not intentionally collect, store, sell, or share:

  1. Where data is stored

Your extension settings are stored locally in your browser using Chrome/Chromium extension storage so your preferences can persist between pages and sessions.

The extension does not use a remote server to store your reading preferences or selected text in the current version.

  1. Text-to-speech

When you use the read-aloud feature, the extension sends the text you selected to your browser’s built-in speech synthesis functionality on your device. The current version of the extension does not send that selected text to our servers.

Your browser or operating system may use its own built-in voice services. Those services are governed by the privacy practices of your browser and operating system provider.

  1. Page modification

The extension changes page presentation in your browser to provide accessibility support. This may include changing page font, spacing, colours, background tinting, and layout presentation. These changes happen locally in your browser and are not intended to alter the original website on its server.

  1. Permissions

The extension may request access to websites you visit so it can apply accessibility tools on those pages. This access is used only to provide the extension’s functionality.

  1. Analytics and tracking

The current version of Dyslexia Reader Assist does not include third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or remote user-behavior tracking inside the extension itself.

If analytics or account-based premium features are added in a future version, this privacy policy will be updated before those features are released.

  1. Donations and monetization

Dyslexia Reader Assist may be offered as donation-supported software.

If donation links, paid upgrades, or premium features are introduced in future versions, payment processing will be handled by the relevant payment provider or platform rather than by the extension itself, unless explicitly stated otherwise in a future update to this policy.

The current version of the extension does not process payments directly inside the extension.

  1. Children and accessibility users

This extension is designed as an accessibility aid. Users, parents, caregivers, schools, and organisations should review browser permissions and test the extension in their own environment before broader use.

  1. Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected in the version published with the extension listing.

  1. Contact
