ADHD Reading Privacy Policy and Data Use

What this privacy policy covers

This policy explains how ADHD Reading handles information when you visit adhd-reading.com, use our reading assistant, contact support, verify access, or use future billing features. The data controller is 李靖, an individual/sole proprietor operating in 中国 under the ADHD Reading brand. Privacy contact: support@adhd-reading.com. ADHD Reading is an assistive reading product, not a medical provider, diagnostic service, or treatment tool.

Local-first page processing

Our product direction is local-first. Routine reading adjustments such as bionic reading, semantic highlights, focus overlays, typography controls, and site preferences should happen in your browser whenever possible. We do not want page text or reading history to become a server-side data product.

Reading content

When the extension formats a page, the content is processed to create a better visual reading experience. Unless you explicitly use a future cloud or AI feature and approve the transfer, page content should remain on your device.

Settings and site memory

Reading preferences, presets, typography values, and site memory may be stored locally in your browser. If cross-device sync is introduced, the synced data should focus on preferences rather than full page content.

Website analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits, performance, popular pages, and conversion paths. Google Analytics does not receive page content from your browsing sessions. See Google's privacy policy. You can manage local browser storage and site data through your browser settings.

Accounts, billing, and support

The extension requires a signed-in Chrome profile and email verification. We process your email, verification-code hashes, trial start and end times, device names and public keys, authorization sessions, and last access times. Your device private key stays in the browser. Resend is the planned transactional email provider for verification codes and is used only when its production sender is configured. Trial access lasts 72 hours from first activation; reinstalling or resetting settings does not restart it.

While reading tools are in use, the extension checks the Chrome profile and refreshes online authorization using leases of at most 60 seconds. Access requests contain account and device authorization data, not page text or visited URLs. Paid activation also sends the signed license code containing purchase email, plan, order reference and expiry. Waffo Pancake handles payment details when checkout is enabled; ADHD Reading does not store full card numbers. Browser speech may use an operating-system or browser voice provider and is not guaranteed to work offline.

Retention periods

Verification codes expire after 10 minutes, authorization sessions after 30 days, and anti-replay records after 3 minutes. Rate-limit request records have a 24-hour window. Expired records are removed when the next access-store transaction runs; expiry does not mean immediate physical deletion. Successfully used verification challenges are removed during verification.

Account, device, trial-history, and license records do not currently have an automatic deletion deadline. They support ongoing access, license recovery, and enforcement of the one-time trial. Account closure and deletion requests are reviewed through support, including any records that must be kept for a legal obligation or a billing dispute. Local extension preferences remain until you reset or remove them. Provider-managed analytics and operational logs follow the provider account settings; we do not claim a fixed retention period that has not been configured.

Your rights and age requirement

The service is intended for people aged 18 or older for account verification and paid access. You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection by emailing support@adhd-reading.com. We will respond within 30 calendar days where applicable. You may complain to your local data-protection authority.

For payment and privacy details, also review our Terms of Use and Refund Policy.

Purposes and processing

We use account and device information to provide access and support, and payment records to fulfill purchases when available. Request timestamps and a hash of the network IP address help limit repeated verification attempts and abuse. Cloudflare processes network requests, hosts the website, and stores authorization data in D1. Google Analytics processes website page visits, browser/device information, identifiers, and interaction measurements; this is separate from articles opened in the extension.

Where a legal basis is required, providing requested access, purchases, and support relates to performance of the service agreement; security and fraud prevention relate to legitimate interests; required recordkeeping relates to legal obligations. Analytics processing is subject to the requirements applicable in your location. The site currently loads GA4 by default and does not have an in-site analytics consent switch. You can use browser controls or Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.

Providers and international processing

Providers may process information outside China, including in the United States and other locations where their infrastructure operates. Relevant provider notices are Cloudflare, Google, and Resend when verification mail is enabled. Waffo Pancake processes payment information in its hosted checkout when purchases open. No third-party AI inference service is connected to routine reading features.

Security

Website and access requests use HTTPS. Verification codes and session tokens are stored as hashes; device requests use signatures and short-lived authorization checks. Server secrets are not included in the public extension. No system can guarantee complete security. If a reportable incident occurs, we will provide notices required by the applicable law.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers that help us operate the website, process payments, respond to support, prevent abuse, or comply with law.

Your choices

You can contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or export of information associated with your account or support request. You can also clear local extension data through your browser or product settings.

Policy changes

We will update the date above when this policy changes. Material changes will be announced on the website before they take effect where advance notice is required. This policy describes ADHD Reading; providers linked here have their own notices.
