Program List Exporter for Residency Explorer. Last updated 15 August 2026.

This extension collects nothing, sends nothing to us, and has no server to send it to. Everything it reads and everything it saves stays in your own browser.

The extension exports residency program information that you are already signed in and entitled to view on residencyexplorer.org, and writes it to a CSV file you download. That is all it does.

What is stored on your device

Three things, all local to the browser profile you installed the extension in.

Your settings The filters, criteria and columns you configured, kept in extension storage so the panel looks the same next time you open it. No personal information is part of this.
Cached program pages Program information read from residencyexplorer.org, kept in the browser's IndexedDB so that running a second export does not download the same pages again. This is information about residency programs, including publicly listed program directors, not about you. You can delete all of it at any time with the Clear cache button in the panel.
A first-run flag Whether you have seen the guided tour, so it is not shown every time.

Uninstalling the extension removes all three. Nothing survives outside your browser profile, because nothing was ever copied anywhere else.

What is sent over the network

Requests to https://www.residencyexplorer.org and to nowhere else. The extension contacts no other server, ours or anyone's, for any reason.

Those requests are made from the Residency Explorer tab you already have open, so they are the same requests your browser would make if you clicked through the site yourself, carrying the session you are already signed in with. There are three of them:

/Explore To check that you are still signed in, and to read which specialty the page is showing.
/Explore/GetData To get the list of programs for that specialty.
/Program/… To read one program page for each program the export visits.

Your Residency Explorer account

The extension never asks for, reads, or stores your username, password, or the emailed code you use to sign in. It has no login screen and no way to sign in on your behalf. You sign in on the site yourself, in the ordinary way, and the extension simply reads pages through that tab. If you sign out, it stops working until you sign back in.

Permissions, and why each one exists

storage To remember your filters, criteria and columns between sessions.
downloads To hand you the finished CSV file. You choose where it is saved.
sidePanel To show the extension's own panel beside the page.
https://www.residencyexplorer.org/* To read the program pages being exported. This is the only site the extension can touch; it has no access to any other page you visit.

What the extension does not do

It contains no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. It loads no code from the internet: everything it runs ships inside the package. It does not sell or share data, because it holds none to sell or share. It reads no page other than residencyexplorer.org, and it is not directed at children.

Changes to this policy

If the extension ever handles data differently, this page will be updated before that version is published, and the date at the top will change.
