TickerPop's single purpose is to display financial information for a ticker symbol the user explicitly highlights. It collects no browsing history and no page content. Market-data requests contain only the highlighted ticker symbol or company name and go directly from the user's browser to Yahoo Finance (quotes, charts, fundamentals) and Google News RSS (headlines). A static status file is fetched from tickerpop.vercel.app (service-health banner and welcome page); it carries no personal data. Watchlist, alerts and settings live in the browser's own storage.sync, controlled by the user's account.
Anonymous feature-usage events (event name, extension version, a random install identifier - never ticker symbols, URLs, or page content) can be sent to PostHog (US cloud). On Firefox this is declared as optional "technical and interaction data" - nothing is sent unless the user enables the toggle in about:addons, and there is an additional off switch in the extension's own Settings.
