Privacy Policy for Mandarin Pinyin Extension
Last Updated: May 2025
Introduction
The Mandarin Pinyin Extension (“we”, “our”, or “extension”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our extension handles data when you use it with Safari browser.
Our extension is designed with privacy as a priority:
- No Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, or user data.
- Local Processing Only: All text processing happens entirely within your browser. Chinese text is processed locally using built-in dictionaries.
- No External Servers: The extension does not communicate with any external servers or third-party services.
- No Analytics: We do not use any analytics or tracking tools within the extension.
Permissions
Our extension requires the following permissions:
- Read and Modify Website Content: This permission is necessary to scan for Chinese text and add pinyin annotations to the webpage you’re viewing. We only modify the page when you explicitly click the “Add Pinyin” button.
- Access to Active Tab: The extension only operates on the currently active tab and only when you activate it.
Data Storage
- No Persistent Storage: The extension does not store any information about the pages you visit or the text that is annotated.
- Temporary Processing: Text is only held in memory temporarily during the annotation process and is not persisted after processing is complete.
Third-Party Access
We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data in the first place.
Children’s Privacy
Our extension is suitable for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there are no special provisions for children’s data.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
