Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 29, 2026
Overview
XArticles is a Chrome extension that helps you track reading progress on X (Twitter) articles. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data.
Data Collection
We do not collect any personal data. All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API.
The extension stores the following data locally in your browser:
- Reading progress for X articles you visit (scroll position, percentage read)
- Article metadata (title, author, URL)
- List of authors you choose to follow for notifications
- Your notification preferences
Data Storage
All data is stored locally in your Chrome browser using the Chrome Storage API. Your data never leaves your device. We do not have servers that store user data.
Third-Party Services
The extension communicates with our backend API solely to fetch public Twitter/X user profile information and article data. We do not log, store, or track any user requests or browsing behavior on our servers.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to third parties. Since all data is stored locally on your device, we have no access to it.
Your Rights
You have full control over your data. You can:
- View all stored data through the extension's Settings tab
- Delete all reading progress at any time using the "Clear All Data" button
- Remove the extension to delete all associated data

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
