Is Google Arts & Culture safe?
Google Arts & Culture sends a persistent UUID and user language preference to Google Analytics on every extension event.
Each time you install the extension, click its icon, or view a new tab page, it transmits a randomly generated client identifier (stored in browser storage) along with your accepted browser languages and extension version to Google Analytics. This telemetry is sent via a POST request to Google's Measurement Protocol endpoint and persists across browser sessions.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Arts & Culture 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.
