Terms of Use
Last updated: February 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By installing or using LucidRead, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not install or use the extension.
Description of Service
LucidRead is a free Chrome browser extension that provides reading accessibility tools including typography controls, color overlays, text-to-speech, dictionary lookup, bilingual tooltips, reader mode, annotations, classroom tools, and more. All processing occurs locally in your browser. LucidRead does not require an account, does not collect data, and does not communicate with external servers (except for optional features like picture dictionary symbols and language packs, which you must explicitly enable).
License
LucidRead is released under the MIT License. You are free to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the software, subject to the conditions of the MIT License. The full license text is available at our GitHub repository.
Privacy
LucidRead does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All processing happens locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for complete details about how LucidRead handles (or rather, does not handle) your information.
Disclaimer of Warranties
LucidRead is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the extension will work with every website, be error-free, or meet every accessibility need. LucidRead is a supplementary tool and is not a substitute for professional accessibility accommodations.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall the developers, contributors, or maintainers of LucidRead be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages (including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or interruption of service) arising from the use of or inability to use LucidRead, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Third-Party Content
LucidRead modifies the visual presentation of third-party websites to improve readability and accessibility. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of those websites. LucidRead does not alter the underlying content of any website — it only changes how that content is displayed in your browser.
Modifications
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of LucidRead after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Governing Law
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles.
