TickNote is a Chrome extension that helps users save and view personal ticker notes on Yahoo Finance pages.

1) What data TickNote handles

TickNote stores user-entered note data in chrome.storage.local on the user’s device:

- ticker (for example, NVDA)

- note text

- updatedAt timestamp

- sourceUrl (the page URL where the note was saved)

TickNote may read the active tab URL to detect ticker symbols and attach sourceUrl metadata when saving notes.

2) How data is used

Data is used only for TickNote’s single purpose:

- show and edit notes for the current ticker

- save and load notes across browser sessions

3) Data sharing and selling

- We do not sell user data.

- We do not transfer user data to third parties except where required by law.

- We do not use data for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or lending decisions.

4) Remote code and external services

- TickNote does not use remote code.

- TickNote does not send note data to external servers.

- TickNote does not require user accounts, authentication, or cloud sync.

5) Permissions used

- storage: save and retrieve ticker notes locally

- tabs: read active tab URL in popup for ticker detection and sourceUrl metadata

- host permission https://finance.yahoo.com/*: run content script only on Yahoo Finance pages

6) Data retention and deletion

Data remains in browser local storage until changed or deleted by the user.

Users can remove data by:

- deleting note content in the extension and saving

- clearing extension data in Chrome settings

- uninstalling the extension

7) Children’s privacy

TickNote is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8) Changes to this policy
