Foveo — Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 5, 2026
Foveo is a browser extension that helps people read more easily by emphasizing the start of each word and dimming the remainder. This policy explains how Foveo handles your information. In short: Foveo does not collect, transmit, or sell any of your data. Everything it does happens locally, inside your browser.
Data we collect
None. Foveo does not send any information to us or to any third party. We have no servers, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
Data stored on your device
Foveo saves your preferences — such as fixation intensity, remainder
opacity, and whether Foveo is enabled globally or for specific sites — using
your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local). This data
never leaves your device and is used only to remember your settings between
page loads and sessions. You can clear it at any time by removing the
extension.
Page content
To apply its reading style, Foveo reads the text of the pages you view and restyles it directly in your browser. This text is processed locally and in real time. It is never stored, logged, copied, or transmitted anywhere.
Permissions
- Storage — to save your reading preferences locally.
- Host access — to read and restyle the text on the pages you choose to enable Foveo on. Used solely for reading formatting; no page data is collected or sent.
Voluntary tips
Foveo is free. If you choose to leave a tip, you'll be taken to an external payment page operated by a third-party payment provider. Any payment information you enter there is handled by that provider under its own privacy policy — Foveo does not receive, see, or store your payment details.
Third parties
Foveo does not share, sell, or transfer any user data to third parties, and does not use any data for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending purposes.
Children
Foveo does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised "Last updated" date.
