When you visit a paywalled article on a partner publisher site, FiltRead sends the publicly visible portion of the article text to our scoring API. This text is used solely to generate a Signal Score (1–10) and a brief AI summary to help you decide whether to unlock the article.
Article text is not stored beyond the duration of a single scoring request. It is never used for advertising, profiling, or sold to third parties.
FiltRead uses Stripe to process wallet top-ups. When you add funds, your payment information is submitted directly to Stripe and is never transmitted to or stored on FiltRead servers. FiltRead records only the resulting wallet credit amount and a Stripe transaction reference ID.
Stripe's privacy practices are governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.
When you unlock an article, 70% of the unlock amount is passed to the publisher. FiltRead shares only aggregate revenue data with publishers. No individual wallet tokens, unlock histories, or behavioral data are disclosed to publishers.
Your wallet token is stored in your browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the FiltRead extension or clearing your browser data. No account deletion request is required because we hold no personal account data.
Transaction records are retained for up to 2 years for financial and accounting purposes, referenced only by anonymous wallet token.
The FiltRead extension requests only the permissions necessary to function:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of FiltRead after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
