Is Amazing Screen Recorder safe?

Low risk

Amazing Screen Recorder sends a persistent pseudonymous UUID to Google Analytics on every startup and once per hour.

On startup and every 60 minutes, the extension reads or generates a UUIDv4 stored locally under the key 'cid' and transmits it alongside a session identifier to Google Analytics via the Measurement Protocol. This allows cross-session tracking of the extension's activity under a stable pseudonymous identifier. The data sent does not include browsing URLs or recordings, only session engagement signals.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Amazing Screen Recorder 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.
