Privacy Policy

Effective November 11, 2026

This policy covers the Saved to Read website, web app, browser extension, and Android app. Saved to Read is operated by Sergio Schuler.

Google sign-in

When you sign in, Google shares your account identifier, verified email address, and available profile name and photo. Saved to Read uses this information to verify access, display your profile, and keep you signed in. The service stores the authorized account’s profile and a hashed session identifier. It uses Google for sign-in only, without requesting access to Gmail, Drive, or Contacts.

Your library

When you save a page or upload a file, Saved to Read can store the source URL, title, readable page text, images, and files you upload. The extension can capture content visible in your browser, including from a site you’re signed into. Saved to Read also stores the passages you highlight, your notes, their positions in the source, your tags, reading progress, and highlighter preferences. It uses this data to display and sync your library across devices.

Browser extension permissions

Opening the extension on a supported page can save that page to your library. When you turn on the webpage highlighter and grant site access, the extension inspects eligible HTTPS pages so it can show highlighting controls and restore saved highlights. It can send an identifier derived from the page URL to Saved to Read to look up existing highlights. Saving a page or creating a highlight can send its URL and content to your library. You can turn off the highlighter in the extension, disable it for a domain, or revoke site access in your browser.

Where data is processed

Cloudflare hosts Saved to Read and stores the cloud library. Google provides sign-in and profile images, and YouTube handles playback of embedded YouTube videos. When Saved to Read retrieves a page or image you save, it makes a request to the source site. When you open an original link, that site handles your visit under its own privacy policy.

Saved to Read uses HTTPS for transfers. The service may process network information such as IP addresses to deliver and protect requests, including limiting repeated sign-in attempts. The app stores session information and may keep library data, downloads, and queued changes locally for offline use and sync. The extension stores settings, onboarding state, and pending saves in the browser.

Retention and deletion

Saved items stay in your library until you delete them. Moving an item to Trash keeps it available for restoration. Deleting it permanently removes its saved text, attached files, and associated highlights and notes from the active library. A record of the deleted item, including its URL, can remain for sync. You can remove offline downloads from the app and clear local site or extension data in your browser. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data, use the contact below.

Limited Use

Saved to Read uses extension data to provide and secure its saving, highlighting, and syncing features. It does not sell user data or use it for advertising or credit decisions. Its use and transfer of data received through the extension follows the Chrome Web Store Limited Use requirements. Its use of Google account information follows the Google API Services User Data Policy.
