RSS Reader is designed to respect your privacy. We do not collect, sell, transmit, or share any personal data.
RSS Reader detects RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds on the website you are currently visiting and fetches the selected feed so you can read its articles inside the extension popup.
To make the extension work, the following information may be stored locally on your own device using Chrome's built-in extension storage (chrome.storage.local):
The feed you last selected for a website.
Cached feed content, kept temporarily so feeds load faster (automatically expires).
Which articles you have marked as read.
This data never leaves your device. It is not sent to us or to any third party, and it is not used for tracking, advertising, or profiling.
We do not collect personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.).
We do not collect or transmit your browsing history.
We do not use analytics, trackers, or advertising of any kind.
We do not have any servers that receive your data.
When you open the extension, it fetches feed files directly from the website you are visiting (and from common feed addresses for that site) so it can display the articles. These requests are made without sending your cookies or credentials. The extension communicates only with those feed sources for the sole purpose of reading their content.
Storage: to save your preferences and cached feeds locally, as described above.
Host access: to fetch feed files from the websites you visit so they can be displayed in the reader.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same location with a new "Last updated" date.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please open an issue on the project's repository.
