Native Language Switcher for Reddit ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage for this browser extension.
We do not collect any personal information, browsing history, or sensitive data.
- User Preferences: We store your "Target Language" and "Enabled/Disabled" status using the
chrome.storage.syncAPI. This data remains on your local browser and is only used to maintain the extension's functionality. - Verification Requests: When you visit a Reddit post, the extension sends a request to Reddit.com to check if a translation exists. This request is handled directly between your browser and Reddit; we do not sit in the middle of this communication.
- Browser Language Detection: On first install, the extension reads
navigator.language(a read-only property provided by your browser) to pre-select your default target language. This value is used only locally and is never transmitted to any server.
We do not share any information with third parties. No data is transmitted to external servers controlled by us or any other entities.
