Raydar is a Chrome extension for subscribing to and reading RSS and Atom feeds.

## Data Stored Locally

Raydar stores the following data in Chrome storage:

- Subscribed feed URLs, titles, site URLs, and source icons.
- Cached feed articles and readable article content.
- Settings such as theme, language, source layout, refresh interval, and article retention limit.
- Favorite state for articles.
- Feed URLs you choose to ignore from automatic subscription prompts.

This data stays in your browser storage. Raydar does not require a Raydar account and does not upload this data to a Raydar server.

## Network Requests

Raydar makes direct requests from the extension to:

- Feed URLs you subscribe to or import.
- Article URLs you open in the reader when Raydar extracts readable article content.
- Websites you visit when feed detection is enabled, so Raydar can find RSS or Atom links.
- Image and icon URLs referenced by subscribed feeds or articles.

Those websites may receive normal request information such as your IP address, browser request metadata, and the requested URL.

## Data Sharing

Raydar does not sell personal data and does not include third-party analytics in the extension.

If you open an external support or sponsor link, that external site handles the visit under its own privacy policy.

## User Controls

You can:

- Add, edit, or remove subscribed sources in Settings.
- Disable automatic feed detection in Settings.
- Export or import subscriptions with OPML.
- Export or import a full JSON backup.
- Remove the extension to delete extension-managed local data from Chrome.
