English Speaking Practice

Overview

English Speaking Practice is a Chrome extension that lets you select text on any webpage and practice reading it aloud. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how it is stored.

Data we collect

The extension may store the following on your device:

• Audio recordings — captured via your microphone when you start a practice session.
• Practice sessions — the text you practiced, your speech transcript, accuracy score, and duration.
• Settings — your preferences such as whether to save audio or auto-save on finish.
• Diagnostic logs — timestamped debug entries used to troubleshoot issues, exportable from the extension popup.

Where data is stored

All data is stored locally on your device using the browser's built-in chrome.storage.local API. Nothing is transmitted to any external server, third-party service, or cloud storage. We do not have access to your recordings or sessions.

Microphone access

The extension requests microphone permission only when you click the Speak button to start a practice session. Audio is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded anywhere.

Data sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit any data to third parties.

Data retention and deletion

You can delete individual sessions or all stored data at any time from the extension popup. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data automatically.

Permissions used

• storage / unlimitedStorage — to save sessions and audio recordings locally.
• contextMenus — to add a right-click option for opening a practice session.
• activeTab — to read selected text on the current page.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>) — to inject the practice panel on any webpage you choose to practice on.

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be published at this URL and the extension's version number will be bumped.
