Simplify Privacy Policy

Simplify does not collect, track, or send any of your data. Everything stays on your device.

What We Collect

Nothing.

Simplify does not collect any personal information, browsing history, or usage data. No analytics. No accounts. No sign-ups.

What We Store Locally

Your reader mode preferences. Saved locally on your device using chrome.storage.local.

This data never leaves your device. It is not sent to any server, and we have no way to access it.

Why We Need Each Permission

Simplify only asks for the permissions it needs to work. Here is what each one does:

activeTab

Read the current page when you use text simplification or reader mode.

contextMenus

Add a 'Simplify selected text' option to the right-click menu.

scripting

Inject scripts that detect text selection, show the simplify button, and enable reader mode.

storage

Save your preferences between sessions.

Third-Party Services

Simplify does not connect to any external servers, analytics tools, or advertising networks. It works fully offline after you install it.

Policy Updates

If we change this policy, we will update this page. The date at the bottom shows when it was last updated.
