Privacy that matches how the extension works.

The website is static and only serves public product information. The extension stores preferences locally and sends user-requested content to the provider the user selects.

What the extension stores

Settings are kept in Chrome storage so the extension can remember your setup.

The extension stores configuration such as provider choice, API keys, model names, timeout values, prompt templates, and optional shortcut preferences. Those settings remain in the current Chrome profile and are not stored by this website.

Local storage behavior

Provider settingsSaved in Chrome storage so the options page can restore them.
Prompt templatesStored locally to preserve the user's preferred explanation style.
API keysEntered by the user and retained only for the extension to send requests on their behalf.
No separate accountThe extension does not require a dedicated Read Code Helper login.

Network requests

User-requested contentWhen the user asks for an explanation or translation, selected text, pointed text, image content, or relevant page context is sent to the chosen AI provider.
Provider endpointsRequests go only to the selected services, such as Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, or Jina AI.
Whole-page readingWhen the user requests a whole-page explanation, the extension can send the page URL to Jina AI Reader to extract its main content.
Image shortcutsPreviewing or opening an image uses its existing source URL. Downloads occur only after the user presses the configured image download shortcut.
Website trafficThe static site itself does not need browser permissions or access to extension storage.

Data use

Data is used only to run the extension and present the product site.

There is no site-side form, no account system on the website, and no embedded extension-to-site data bridge. The public website is a static deployment used to explain the extension and how to install it.

Website

Serves public documentation and this privacy page. It does not need browser storage or extension permissions.

Extension

Uses the user's selected provider configuration to explain selections or summarize pages inside the browser.

Local control

The user can change or clear settings from the extension options page at any time.

Distribution split

The website is deployed separately from the extension package, so public site files are not bundled into the Chrome release.
