Introduction

Welcome to Readdit Later, a Chrome extension designed to help you save and manage your Reddit posts efficiently. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our extension.

Information We Collect

When you authenticate with Reddit using our extension, we collect:

• Saved Posts Data: Content of your saved Reddit posts including titles, subreddits, URLs, scores, and metadata
• Basic Profile Information: As permitted by Reddit's OAuth scopes (identity, read, history, save)

Information Stored Locally

The following information is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API:

• Your saved Reddit posts and their metadata
• Extension settings and preferences
• Authentication tokens and session data
• Synchronization timestamps
• Usage statistics (posts saved, subreddits accessed)

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your Reddit password
• Personal messages or private communications
• Posts you haven't explicitly saved

Third-Party Services

Reddit API

Our extension communicates with Reddit's official API to:

• Authenticate your account
• Retrieve your saved posts
• Perform save/unsave operations
• Access basic profile information

This communication is governed by Reddit's Privacy Policy and API Terms.
