Overview
Universal Streaming Ratings Overlay (“the extension”) displays IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings directly on supported streaming platforms (e.g., Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+). It operates entirely within your browser. We do not collect, store, sell, or share your personal information.
Data We Collect
We do not collect any personally identifiable information.
The extension only processes:
-
Movie/Series title, year, and type (e.g., “series” or “movie”) detected from the page you are viewing. This is used solely to request ratings from the OMDb API.
Local Data Storage
The extension uses Chrome’s local storage to:
-
Save your settings (e.g., API key, rating display preferences).
-
Cache ratings for up to 30 days to improve speed and reduce API calls.
This data never leaves your device except as described under “Third-Party Services.”
