    <h1>Privacy Policy for Bionic Reader</h1>

    <h2>Introduction</h2>
    <p>
        This privacy policy explains how the Bionic Reader Chrome extension handles user data.
        We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
    </p>

    <h2>Single Purpose Description</h2>
    <p>
        The Bionic Reader extension serves a single purpose: to enhance reading speed and comprehension by transforming text into Bionic Reading format, which highlights key parts of words to guide the reader's eye movement.
    </p>

    <h2>Permission Justification</h2>
    <ul>
        <li>
            <strong>activeTab</strong>: This permission is required to modify the text display on the current webpage. We use it to:
            <ul>
                <li>Access and modify the text content of the active tab</li>
                <li>Apply Bionic Reading formatting to the text</li>
                <li>This permission is essential for the core functionality of transforming text into Bionic Reading format</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>
            <strong>storage</strong>: This permission is required to:
            <ul>
                <li>Save user preferences (such as whether the feature is enabled)</li>
                <li>Store formatting settings (bold percentage and minimum word length)</li>
                <li>Maintain consistent user experience across browser sessions</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Data Collection and Usage</h2>
    <p>
        The Bionic Reader extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
        All text processing is done locally in your browser, and no information is sent to external servers.
    </p>

    <h2>Local Storage</h2>
    <p>
        The extension uses Chrome's local storage API only to save your preferences (such as whether the feature is enabled
        and your formatting preferences). These settings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted anywhere.
    </p>

    <h2>Third-Party Services</h2>
    <p>
        This extension does not use any third-party services or analytics tools. It operates entirely within your browser.
    </p>

    <h2>Data Security</h2>
    <p>
        Since no data is collected or stored externally, there are no security risks related to data breaches or unauthorized access to user data.
    </p>

    <h2>Limited Use Disclosure</h2>
    <p>
        This extension's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the
        <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/program_policies/#limited_use" target="_blank">Chrome Web Store User Data Policy</a>,
        including the Limited Use requirements.
    </p>

    <h2>Changes to This Policy</h2>
    <p>
        If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page and the version number in the Chrome Web Store.
        Users will be notified of any significant changes through the extension's update notes.
    </p>

    <h2>Contact</h2>
    <p>
        If you have any questions about this privacy policy or the extension, please contact us through the Chrome Web Store support channel
        or create an issue on our <a href="https://github.com/sylvial928/bionic-reader" target="_blank">GitHub repository</a>.
