# Privacy Policy — Bimmer Tracker

_Last updated: 2026-07-08_

**Short version: this extension does not collect, transmit, or share any of your
data. Everything stays in your browser.**

## What the extension accesses

- **Your BMW order data** on `mygarage.bmwusa.com` — read from the page you are
  already viewing and from BMW's own order API, using the session you are already
  signed into. This includes order status, VIN, production/delivery dates, and
  vehicle configuration.

## Where that data goes

- It is stored **locally** in your browser via `chrome.storage.local`, solely to
  detect when your order status changes and to display it in the panel and popup.
- It is **never** sent to us or any third party. There is no backend server, no
  analytics, and no tracking.

## Network requests

The extension makes requests only to:

- `https://mygarage.bmwusa.com` — to read your order status (the same requests
  the website itself makes).
- Vehicle images load from BMW's image CDN (`prod.cosy.bmw.cloud`) as referenced
  by BMW's own API response.

The "Buy me a coffee" link opens an external page only when you click it.

## Permissions and why

- `storage` — remember your last known order status between checks.
- `alarms` — schedule the periodic background check.
- `notifications` — alert you when the status changes.
- host access to `mygarage.bmwusa.com` — read your order status.
