Privacy Policy
Last updated July 2, 2026
Read Later is a personal reading-list tool, including its browser extension. This page explains what data is collected and how it's used.
What we collect
- Account info from your sign-in provider (GitHub or Google): name, email address, and profile picture.
- Saved links: the URLs you save, plus a title, description, and preview image fetched automatically from each page.
- Sign-in activity: when your account was created and when you last signed in.
- If you generate an API token for the browser extension, we store a hashed version of it — never the token itself.
How we use it
- To provide the reading-list feature — storing and displaying the links you save.
- To manage access — this app is invite-only, so we use your account status (pending, approved, or revoked) to control sign-in, and send email notifications about access requests and approvals.
Third parties
We work with a small number of service providers, each under their own privacy policy:
- GitHub and Google, for authentication.
- Resend, to deliver transactional emails (access request and approval notifications).
- Vercel and Neon, for hosting and database storage.
We don't sell or share your data with anyone else, and we don't run analytics or ad tracking.
Browser extension
The Read Later browser extension sends the URL of the page you click "save" on to your Read Later account, using an API token you generate yourself. It doesn't collect browsing history, doesn't run on pages you don't explicitly save, and doesn't share data with anyone besides your own Read Later account.
Data retention
Your data is kept as long as your account exists. To request deletion, use the contact details on this extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
Changes
This policy may be updated as the app changes.
