Read More is built on a simple principle: your data stays yours.
Read More is a Chrome extension that lets you read PDF and EPUB books and tracks your reading position, bookmarks, and labels — optionally synced across machines via your own cloud storage account (Google Drive, Dropbox, or a Synology NAS).
The table below lists every piece of data Read More touches, where it is stored, and why.
| Data | Where stored | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PDF and EPUB files you add | Your chosen sync provider or local browser storage only | So books are available on every machine |
| Reading position (last page read) | Your chosen sync provider + local browser storage | Resuming where you left off |
| Named bookmarks | Your chosen sync provider + local browser storage | Saving and jumping to key pages |
| Labels | Your chosen sync provider + local browser storage | Organising your library |
| User settings (night mode, scroll speed, etc.) | Your chosen sync provider + local browser storage | Consistent experience across machines |
| Cached copies of books and metadata | Local browser storage (IndexedDB) only | Fast open without re-downloading |
All data is stored only in your own storage account and your local browser. Read More operates no server of its own and has no backend database. If you do not connect a sync provider, everything stays on-device only.
Read More can optionally connect to one of the following storage providers. Connecting is entirely optional; the extension is fully functional without any sync provider.
Google Drive — uses the drive.file OAuth scope, which limits access strictly to files that Read More itself created. It cannot read, list, or modify any other files in your Drive.
Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Dropbox — uses OAuth 2.0 with scoped permissions (files.content.read, files.content.write, files.metadata.read). Read More stores files exclusively in a ReadMore/ folder in your Dropbox.
Privacy policy: dropbox.com/privacy
Synology NAS / WebDAV — connects directly to your own self-hosted server using credentials you provide. No third party is involved; data travels only between your browser and your own hardware.
Read More does not sell, share, or transmit your data to any party other than the sync provider you choose to connect, as described above. There is no analytics, advertising, telemetry, or crash reporting of any kind.
To delete all data associated with Read More:
There is nothing else to delete; no account exists on any Read More server.
If this policy changes materially, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the extension after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
