**Last Updated: January 13, 2026**

## Overview

Mighty Reader is a Chrome extension that translates Japanese manga images to English. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your data.

## Data Collection and Usage

### Data We Store Locally

- **User Preferences**: Your auto-detect toggle setting is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data never leaves your device.

### Data We Send to External Services

- **Manga Images**: When you request a translation, the extension sends the manga image to our translation API server (https://nazworc-mighty-reader-api.hf.space). The image is processed for OCR and translation, then deleted from the server immediately after processing.

- **No Personal Information**: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, or data from websites you visit.

### Email Notifications

- If the translation server is unavailable, an automated email notification may be sent to the developer for maintenance purposes. This notification does not contain any user information or browsing data.

## Third-Party Services

- **Hugging Face Spaces**: Translation processing is performed by our API hosted on Hugging Face Spaces. Images are temporarily processed and immediately deleted. No data is permanently stored.

- **EmailJS**: Used solely for server status notifications to the developer. No user data is transmitted.
