AnkiMaxer Privacy Policy

Last updated June 23, 2026.

This policy applies to the AnkiMaxer browser extension (for Chrome and Safari) and its companion AnkiMaxer Helper Anki add-on. In short: AnkiMaxer does not collect, store, sell, or transmit any personal data. It runs entirely on your own computer.

What the extension accesses

• When you click the AnkiMaxer toolbar button on a UWorld or Bootcamp question page, the extension reads that page’s question identifier or topic, only at that moment, and only to find the matching Anki cards.
• Your list of exams and your preferences are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local).

Where your data goes

Nowhere but your own machine. The extension communicates only with the AnkiMaxer Helper add-on running locally in Anki at 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Nothing is sent to the developer or any third party.

What we do not do

• No analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, or session recording.
• No accounts, logins, or advertising.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of data: there is no data to share.
• No external or cloud servers; AnkiMaxer has no backend.

Permissions

AnkiMaxer requests only what it needs for the above: on-demand access to the current question tab (activeTab / scripting) when you click the button, local storage for your exam list, and a connection to your local Anki at 127.0.0.1:8766. It does not request access to your browsing history or to other websites.

Changes

If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will change with it.
