*************** About Privacy ***************
When you install Sign Learner, a message appears saying that the extension can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” - That's actually just the default permission required, specifically we need it to be able to identify the words on each webpage so that we can add in a sign to show you, and keep you learning. Sign learner does not track, use, or need any personal data from you :)
