Readwell Privacy Policy

Readwell has no account system, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not run a server of its own.

What Readwell reads
Readwell reads the text of a page only when you ask it to (toolbar button, keyboard shortcut or right-click menu), or a document you open in its Reader view.

Where that text goes
To turn text into speech, the text being read is sent to the voice service you choose:
- Natural voices: Microsoft's speech service (speech.platform.bing.com)
- Google voices: Google Translate's speech service (translate.google.com)
- Your own voice server: the address you enter in Settings
Voices installed on your computer or in your browser keep the text on your device. Readwell sends only the text being read, not your browsing history, cookies or any personal identifier. How those services handle the text is described in Microsoft's and Google's privacy statements.

What is stored on your device
Settings (voice, speed, pronunciation list), your reading position, and documents you open in Reader view are stored locally in your browser. They are never uploaded. Removing the add-on deletes them.
