FinLens · Chinese Report Reader · Privacy policy

Purpose and local processing

FinLens is a free reader for text-based Chinese financial report PDFs. No account is required. PDFs, extracted text, parsing results and reading options are processed on your device for display and verification. They are not uploaded to the publisher, AI services or analytics. We do not sell data, run ads, record reading history or use telemetry. In-page data and feedback drafts are not persisted after the reader closes; your browser may retain caches, downloads or page URLs.

Files and network access

You can choose a local PDF or grant optional access to read a public HTTPS PDF from disc.static.szse.cn or static.sse.com.cn, HKEX www1.hkexnews.hk. Downloading sends normal request information, such as your IP address and browser headers, to that exchange server. It does not upload the PDF to FinLens. Executable code, PDF parsing, fonts and CMaps are bundled with the extension. No remote AI is called. Opening a website or original PDF link visits the corresponding site under its own privacy policy.

Permissions

activeTab reads the selected tab URL only when you click the extension, to check whether it is a supported PDF link. It does not read browsing history. Exchange host access is requested only when you choose to read that site. You can revoke it in Chrome extension settings; local files work without it. No account, backend or all-sites permission is needed.

Voluntary feedback

The feedback form creates an in-page draft. It never sends automatically or automatically attaches the current report URL, PDF, text, history or local path. The preview contains your category, public URL, page, description, extension version and interface language. Downloading saves a local text file. Opening your email app still requires you to send the message. Your email provider then delivers it to jerrychen1990@gmail.com, so support receives your sending address, message and any attachments you add. Do not send non-public reports, private information or credentials.

Support email retention

Support messages are used only to address your request and communicate, not for marketing or sale. Relevant correspondence may be retained as needed after resolving the request. Contact the support email to request access or deletion. We do not promise an automated deletion schedule that has not been established. Your email provider and the Chrome Web Store apply their own policies.

Changes and contact

Before adding accounts, payments, cloud processing or telemetry, we will update this policy and obtain authorization where required. Contact support with privacy questions. This policy describes the current local-processing version.

The extension stores only the selected interface language in this browser profile, including the Follow Chrome choice. It does not store PDF links, paths or reading history.
