Inbox View for Reddit (Chrome extension) · Effective September 18, 2026

Inbox View for Reddit ("the extension") reformats pages on reddit.com into an inbox-style reading layout. It runs entirely inside your browser. It does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. This page explains exactly what the extension does and does not do.

1. What the extension accesses

What	Why	Where it goes
The Reddit page you are currently viewing (its URL and content)	To decide whether to show a feed or a comment thread, and to display that content in the new layout	Nowhere. It is read in memory and drawn on screen.
Reddit's own JSON endpoints on reddit.com (for example the post list of a subreddit, or the comments of a post, and the list of subreddits you subscribe to)	To render posts, comments, and your sidebar labels	Requests go only to reddit.com, using the Reddit session already in your browser, the same as when you browse Reddit normally. The extension cannot see your password, cookies, or session token.
Images and videos hosted by Reddit	Shown only after you click the attachment button on a post	Loaded from Reddit's servers, as when viewing the post on Reddit.
YouTube videos linked from a post	Shown only after you click the attachment button	Loaded as an embed from `youtube-nocookie.com`, which is governed by Google's privacy policy. Nothing is loaded from YouTube unless you click.

2. What the extension stores

Two small preferences are kept in your browser's session storage for the reddit.com tab:

gm-sort — which sort tab you last selected (Hot, New, or Top)
gm-read — the IDs of posts you have opened, so they are shown as "read"

Session storage lives only on your device and is automatically deleted when the tab is closed. It is never sent anywhere and the developer cannot access it.

3. What the extension does not do

It does not contact any server operated by the developer. There is no such server.
It does not use analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising.
It does not read your browsing history, other tabs, or any site other than reddit.com.
It does not read Reddit chat, direct messages, or account settings.
It does not request any Chrome permissions beyond running on reddit.com.
It does not load or execute remote code.
It does not sell, transfer, or share any data with third parties, because it holds none.

4. Limited Use disclosure

The extension's use of information obtained from reddit.com is limited to displaying that information to you in a different visual layout, which is the extension's single purpose. It is not used for any other purpose, including advertising, profiling, or resale.

5. Security

All requests the extension makes go to reddit.com over HTTPS. Because no data is collected or stored off-device, there is no data at rest to protect beyond the two session-storage preferences described above.

6. Children

The extension is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, regardless of age.

7. Changes to this policy

If a future version of the extension ever changes how it handles data, this policy will be updated, the "Effective" date above will change, and the change will be disclosed inside the extension before any new data handling begins.
