Privacy Policy

Last updated March 29, 2026

The short version

We do not collect, store, or sell your personal browsing history. All word-replacement processing happens entirely on your device — nothing you read is ever sent to our servers.

Introduction

Kallam (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our browser extension and website.

Data Collection and Usage

Local Processing

The Kallam extension operates entirely within your browser. It scans web pages to identify English words to replace with Arabic. This process happens locally on your computer — no webpage content is ever sent to our servers.

Learning Progress

Your progress (words learned, streak, level) is stored locally using chrome.storage. If you enable sync, this data travels via your browser's own sync (e.g., your Google account) — which we never have access to.

Usage Statistics

We do not track which specific websites you visit.

Permissions & Single Purpose

Kallam has a single purpose: to help you learn Arabic vocabulary through contextual immersion by replacing English words on the pages you read.

To do this, Kallam requests the host permission (shown in browsers as “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit”). We know that sounds broad, so here is exactly how we use it:

Scanning Text: Reads the text on the active page to find English words that match your learning vocabulary.
Modifying the DOM: Wraps matched words in styled spans with Arabic translations and hover tooltips.

We never log, store, transmit, or analyze your browsing activity or page content. Processing happens instantaneously on your local machine. No data about the sites you visit is ever sent to our servers.

Third-Party Services

We do not use third-party analytics services inside the extension. The website uses Supabase for authentication (if you create an account) and Stripe for payments (if you upgrade to Pro). Both providers have their own privacy policies and are GDPR-compliant.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of Kallam after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
