Is 2048 safe?
2048 collects the user's Google account email and sends it as a player identifier to its game servers, including over plain HTTP.
When a user signs in or starts a game, the extension requests the identity.email permission and retrieves the account email address using chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo(). This email is stored and sent without hashing or anonymization to beta.apihub.info and data.apihub.info as a URL query parameter and POST body field, used to track leaderboard scores and account stats. Some of these requests are made over plain HTTP rather than HTTPS.
