Reddit ThreadPane – Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026‑05‑09

1. Overview

Reddit ThreadPane is a browser extension that lets you read Reddit posts and their comment threads in a resizable side panel directly on Reddit pages. It is designed to improve your reading experience without collecting or selling your personal data.

2. What data we collect

Reddit ThreadPane does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information about you.

Specifically:

• We do not collect your name, email address, or account credentials.
• We do not collect or store your browsing history outside of the Reddit pages where the extension runs.
• We do not track you across websites or build any profile about you.

The extension runs entirely in your browser. It reads and renders content already present on Reddit pages (post titles, bodies, and comments) to display them in the side panel. This data never leaves your browser via the extension.

3. Permissions and how they are used

Reddit ThreadPane uses the minimum permissions required for its single purpose:

• Host permissions for reddit.com (and related Reddit domains): used only to inject the content script that creates the side panel UI and fetch the .json API for the current Reddit post in order to render its comments.

We do not access cookies, form data, passwords, or any other sensitive information.

4. Data sharing and third parties

• We do not send any data to external servers we control.
• We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising networks, or other third‑party data collectors in this extension.
• We do not sell or rent any user data.

All requests made by the extension are direct requests from your browser to Reddit’s own servers to retrieve the post’s .json data, just like your browser would when you open a Reddit post normally.

5. Cookies and storage

Reddit ThreadPane does not set or read any cookies, and it does not store personal data in chrome.storage or other persistent storage locations.

Any UI settings (such as the panel width) may be stored only locally in your browser and are not transmitted to us.

6. Children’s privacy

This extension is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to this policy

If this Privacy Policy changes, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this page. For any material change (for example, if the extension starts collecting data or using new permissions), we will also update the Chrome Web Store listing and, where appropriate, provide an in‑extension notice.

This privacy policy describes how the Reddit ThreadPane browser extension handles data. It is separate from, and does not replace, Reddit’s own privacy policy or the policies of your browser vendor.
