1. 我们处理的数据
- 当前网页的标题、URL、元数据与正文。
- 用户输入的问题、必要的聊天历史与模型返回的回答。
- 用户配置的模型服务商、API 地址、模型名称与 API Key。
- 界面设置、自定义阅读伙伴及其提示词。
ReadMate 只有在用户主动打开扩展后才读取当前标签页。只有在用户主动发送消息后，所选网页内容、问题与必要的聊天历史才会发送给用户配置的 AI 服务商。
2. 数据的用途与分享
上述数据仅用于提供网页提取、总结、问答、阅读伙伴与本地会话功能。
- 模型请求直接发送到用户选择的 AI 服务商，不经过 ReadMate 开发者运营的中转服务器。
- ReadMate 开发者不会接收网页内容、聊天记录或 API Key。
- ReadMate 不出售用户数据，不将其用于广告、信用评估或与扩展单一用途无关的目的。
- 第三方 AI 服务商如何处理数据由其各自的条款与隐私政策决定。
3. 本地存储与保留期限
- 设置、自定义阅读伙伴与聊天记录保存在浏览器本地。
- 聊天记录最多保留 30 个网页会话，每个会话最多保留最近 100 条消息。
- API Key 默认保存在浏览器会话存储中，扩展停用、更新或浏览器重启后会被清除。
- 若用户主动选择“在本机记住 API Key”，密钥会保存在扩展本地存储中，直到用户删除数据或卸载扩展。Chrome 本地存储并非加密保险库。
- 配置导出文件始终移除 API Key。
4. 权限说明
- activeTab 与 scripting：在用户操作后读取当前网页并运行扩展包内的正文提取脚本。
- sidePanel：在 Chrome 原生侧边栏中显示 ReadMate。
- storage：保存设置、服务商配置、自定义阅读伙伴与本地聊天记录。
- 可选网站权限：仅在用户连接 AI 服务商时请求对应 API 域名；远程 API 必须使用 HTTPS，本地 Ollama 可以使用 localhost。
5. 安全与用户控制
ReadMate 不执行远程 JavaScript 或 WebAssembly。远程模型响应仅作为文本数据解析和显示。用户可以清除单个网页会话、在设置中恢复默认数据，或通过卸载扩展删除扩展保存的数据。
6. 政策变更
如果数据处理方式发生实质变化，ReadMate 将更新本页面，并在需要时于扩展界面中向用户进行显著披露和重新征得同意。
ReadMate Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 23, 2026
Data handled
ReadMate handles the active page title, URL, metadata and readable text; user questions, necessary conversation history and model responses; AI provider settings, API endpoints, model names and API keys; interface preferences and custom reading mates.
ReadMate reads the active page only after the user explicitly opens the extension. Page content, questions and necessary conversation history are sent only after the user submits a request.
Use and sharing
Data is used only to provide page extraction, summarization, page-grounded questions and answers, reading mates and local conversation history. Model requests are sent directly to the AI provider selected by the user and are not routed through a server operated by the ReadMate developer. The developer does not receive page content, conversations or API keys. ReadMate does not sell user data or use it for advertising, credit decisions or purposes unrelated to its single purpose. Each AI provider processes data under its own terms and privacy policy.
Local storage and retention
Settings, custom reading mates and conversations are stored locally in the browser. ReadMate keeps up to 30 page conversations and the latest 100 messages in each conversation. API keys use session storage by default and are cleared when the extension is disabled, updated or the browser restarts. If the user explicitly chooses to remember a key, it is kept in extension local storage until the user deletes the data or uninstalls the extension. Chrome local storage is not an encrypted vault. Exported configurations never contain API keys.
Permissions and security
activeTab and scripting are used after a user action to extract the active page with code bundled in the extension. sidePanel displays the interface, storage retains local settings and conversations, and optional host permissions are requested only for the AI API origin selected by the user. Remote APIs must use HTTPS; localhost is allowed for local services such as Ollama. ReadMate does not execute remote JavaScript or WebAssembly, and model responses are handled only as text data.
User control
Users can delete a page conversation, reset locally stored data from ReadMate settings, or uninstall the extension to remove its stored data. Material changes to these practices will be disclosed on this page and, when required, prominently inside the extension.
