Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 28, 2025
Reddit Answers (the “Extension”) is a browser add-on that helps you capture the structured content shown on Reddit’s /answers/ pages and save it to a JSON file on your device. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension accesses, how that information is used, and the choices you have.
Information We Access
- Reddit Answers page content. When you activate the Extension on a Reddit Answers page, it reads the content already loaded in your browser tab, including question text, headings, conversation IDs, answer text and HTML, related questions, source posts, and outbound links.
- Browser tab context. The Extension uses Chrome’s
tabspermission only to confirm the active tab and initiate downloads.
The Extension does not collect browsing history, cookies, login information, or any data from sites other than Reddit Answers pages (*://*.reddit.com/answers/*).
How Information Is Used
- All processing happens locally in your browser. The Extension structures the Reddit Answers content into JSON and immediately triggers a download via Chrome’s
downloadspermission. - No information is transmitted to the Extension publisher, stored on external servers, or shared with third parties.
- The downloaded JSON file is saved to your device under a filename such as
reddit-answers/<timestamp>-<question>.json.
Data Retention & Control
- The Extension does not retain any information after the download finishes.
- You control the JSON files saved to your device and may delete them at any time.
- You can remove the Extension at any time by uninstalling it from your browser’s extensions page.
Permissions Explained
