EFFECTIVE 2026-07-14 · APPLIES TO THE NARRATE CHROME EXTENSION
Narrate does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. It makes zero network requests. There is nothing more to disclose, but the details are below.
When you start a read, Narrate passes the text of the page you are on to your browser's built-in speechSynthesis engine, which converts it to speech on your device. The text never leaves your machine. Narrate has no analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, no API keys, and no backend server — there is nowhere for your data to go.
Your preferences — chosen voice, reading speed, per-site overrides, and highlight colour — are saved with chrome.storage.sync, which keeps them inside your own Chrome profile (and syncs them between your own devices if you have Chrome sync enabled). We never see them. Nothing else is stored.
Nothing. Narrate collects no personally identifiable information, no health or financial information, no authentication information, no personal communications, no location data, no web history, no user activity, and no website content.
Narrate requests the minimum Chrome permissions for its single purpose: activeTab and scripting (to read the current page's text, only when you explicitly start a read), contextMenus (the "Read selection aloud" right-click item), and storage (your preferences, as above). It requests no host permissions — it never has standing access to any website.
If a future version of Narrate ever adds an optional feature that uses the network (for example, optional cloud voices), this policy will be updated before that version ships, and any such feature will be strictly opt-in with the default behaviour unchanged.
Narrate is built by Llab Technologies LLC. Questions about this policy or the extension: info@llabtechnologies.com.
