PLEAT reader

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

1. Who we are

Pleat Reader ("we", "us", "our") is a free browser extension for Chrome, previously called Unwall. It opens beside the page you are reading and shows the page's parts. This policy covers the extension, available from the Chrome Web Store, and this website.

2. The short version

  • There are no accounts. We don't know who you are.
  • The extension has no server. Nothing you read is ever sent to us.
  • If you send feedback or email us, we get only what you choose to send.
  • Your settings are kept in your browser, on your computer.
  • Page text leaves your computer only if you use AI with your own Gemini key (it goes to Google), or if your browser uses an online voice for read-aloud.
  • No analytics, no tracking, no advertising.

3. What the extension reads

To list a page's parts and light the part you are reading, Pleat Reader reads the text of the page in the tab beside the side panel, and the tab's address. On YouTube it reads the video's chapters and captions: first the ones the YouTube player has already loaded, and if there are none, it asks YouTube for them, signed in as you are, as the player would. This happens on your computer, while the panel is open. Pleat Reader does not keep a history of the pages you read.

Chrome describes this access as "Read and change all your data on all websites". Pleat Reader uses it only to show you the page's parts and to draw its highlights. It does not change the page's text, links or forms.

4. What stays on your computer

  • Reading settings — theme, font, text size, voice, speed, dimming and your AI choice — are kept in the extension's storage in your browser. If you add a Gemini key, it is kept there too.
  • AI parts for a page, if you use Split with AI, are kept only until you close the browser.
  • PDFs are opened and read on your computer, never uploaded. So that refreshing the PDF reader doesn't lose your place, the PDF's text is kept in your browser's storage for up to 24 hours. PDF passwords are never saved.

5. What leaves your computer, and when

  • AI with your own Gemini key (optional). When you choose Your Gemini key in Reading settings → AI, then split a page or ask for Points, the page's text (its long sections, or the one paragraph) is sent from your browser to Google's Gemini API, under your own key. On a YouTube video with auto-captions, the captions of the part playing are sent the same way, a paragraph at a time, to add full stops and capitals. Google's terms and privacy policy apply. On Google's free tier, Google may use that text to improve its products. We are not in between and never see it.
  • AI on this device. When On this device is chosen (the default), Chrome's built-in AI does the work on your computer, and the text stays there.
  • Read-aloud. Read-aloud uses the voices your browser offers. Some of them are online voices, which send the text to their provider (Chrome's Google voices send it to Google).
  • PDF links. If you open a PDF from a link, your browser downloads it from that website directly, as it would if you opened the link yourself.

So the only others who may receive anything are: Google (if you use your own Gemini key, or a Google voice), YouTube (its own captions, on YouTube), the website a PDF comes from, and Cloudflare (this website, see below). We share nothing with anyone else.

Automatic splitting is off unless you turn on "Use AI parts without asking", and even then it never runs on webmail, online documents or other sites on its excluded list.

If splitting fails, "Copy details" copies the AI requests and answers, including the page text, to your clipboard so you can include them in a bug report. They go nowhere unless you paste them somewhere.

6. What we collect

Nothing about you, unless you write to us. Specifically:

  • The extension contains no analytics, tracking or advertising code, and sends nothing to us.
  • This website is a set of files served by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the pages and protect them from attacks. We don't receive or keep it. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • Email. If you email us, we keep your message and your address only to read it and reply. When you choose Feedback in the panel, the email it starts for you includes the extension's version, your browser and the reading mode you were in; you see them before you send, and can delete them.

7. Cookies

This website sets no cookies of its own. It remembers whether you chose light or dark mode in your browser's local storage, and nothing else.

8. We do not sell your data

We have none to sell, and if we did, we would not sell, rent or trade it. Pleat Reader's use of information follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

9. Deleting your data

To remove your Gemini key, choose Remove saved key in Reading settings → AI. To remove everything, remove the extension from Chrome: that deletes its settings and any saved PDF text. There is nothing on our side to delete. Text you sent to Google is governed by your account with them.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data. Since we hold none except messages you send us, contact us at [email protected] about those.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. We have no way to email you, so check back if it matters to you.
