Is LetyShops — cashback service safe?
LetyShops sends account tokens and browsing events to Google Analytics and a GCP endpoint; opt-in on Firefox, opt-out on Chrome.
When analytics collection is enabled, the extension transmits the user's LetyShops account token, a Google Analytics client ID (read from the _ga cookie on merchant pages), page paths, and interaction events to Google Analytics and a mirrored Cloud Function at us-central1-excellent-style-170512.cloudfunctions.net. On Firefox this behaviour requires the user to explicitly enable 'Allow analytics collection' in settings; the setting defaults to off. On Chrome it defaults to on.

LetyShops - no other listings under this identity, 8 shared hostnames
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 8 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

What it can do

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed LetyShops — cashback service contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
