Simple Stock Dashboard also collects no information, and the data is only stored in your local computer, under your total control.

Yahoo just disabled access to their Finance API, and only mobile requests or a loophole using crumbs to work. I've patched this, but there's no guarantee this will continue working. Use at own risk.
