TV Tracker has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. It stores your tracked shows locally in your browser and talks to one external service — the TVmaze API — to fetch show and episode data.

What TV Tracker stores
Your tracked show list, and your settings, are saved using your browser's extension storage. This data stays on your device — TV Tracker has no server of its own and cannot read it.

What TV Tracker talks to
TV Tracker sends requests to api.tvmaze.com to search for shows and to fetch air-date information for shows you've added. No other network requests are made.

Permissions

storage — to save your tracked shows and settings locally.
alarms — to schedule the background refresh that keeps show data up to date every four hours.
host_permissions for api.tvmaze.com — the only server TV Tracker is allowed to contact.
Import and export
Exporting your list saves a JSON file to your device using your browser's normal download flow. Importing reads a JSON file you choose from your device. Neither action sends that file anywhere.

What TV Tracker does not do

No accounts or sign-in.
No analytics or tracking scripts.
No advertising.
No cookies.
No sharing of data with third parties.
