Privacy Policy for Funny Reader

Last Updated: November 22, 2024

Overview

Funny Reader (“the Extension”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles data.

Data Collection

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

The Extension:

• Does NOT track your browsing history
• Does NOT collect personal information
• Does NOT use analytics or tracking services
• Does NOT transmit any data to external servers
• Does NOT share any information with third parties

Local Storage

The Extension uses Chrome’s local storage API to store:

1. Toggle State: Whether the extension is enabled or disabled
2. Donation Banner Timing: Timestamp of when the donation banner was last shown (to ensure it only appears once per 24 hours)

This data:

• Is stored ONLY on your device
• Is NOT transmitted anywhere
• Is NOT accessible to us or anyone else
• Can be cleared by removing the extension

Permissions

The Extension requests the following permission:

• Storage: Used to remember your enable/disable preference and donation banner display timing

The Extension does NOT request permissions for:

• Browsing history
• Personal data
• Network access for data transmission
• Cross-site tracking

Donation Banner

The Extension includes an optional donation banner with a link to Buy Me a Coffee (buymeacoffee.com).

How it works:

• It uses local storage to track when it was last shown (to ensure it only appears once per 24 hours).
• It checks the current website domain against a local whitelist to ensure it doesn’t appear on sensitive sites (like search engines or documentation).
• No browsing history is collected or transmitted to make this decision. It happens entirely in your browser.

Third-Party Link:

• The banner contains a simple link to buymeacoffee.com.
• Clicking this link opens the Buy Me a Coffee website in a new tab.
• Once you visit Buy Me a Coffee, you are subject to their privacy policy and terms of service.
• We do not share any data with Buy Me a Coffee automatically.

Content Modification

The Extension modifies text content on web pages you visit by adding emojis to certain words. This modification:

• Happens entirely in your browser
• Does NOT send page content anywhere
• Does NOT store what you’re reading
• Is completely local to your device

Whitelisted Domains

The Extension automatically disables itself on certain domains (search engines, documentation sites, educational resources) to avoid interfering with your work. The list of whitelisted domains:

• Is stored in the extension code
• Does NOT report which sites you visit
• Simply prevents the extension from running on those sites

Children’s Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. Since no data is collected at all, there are no special considerations for children’s data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Data Deletion

To delete all data stored by the Extension:

1. Right-click the extension icon
2. Select “Remove from Chrome”
3. Confirm removal

All locally stored preferences will be deleted immediately.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect any personal data:

• There is no personal data to request
• There is no personal data to delete (beyond removing the extension)
• There is no personal data to correct
• There is no personal data to export

The Extension is designed with privacy-first principles: we can’t misuse data we never collect.

Compliance

This Extension complies with:

• Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Other applicable privacy laws

Our compliance is straightforward: we simply don’t collect any data.
