Is Backit plugin safe?
Backit Plugin sends supported merchant page URLs to Backit's cashback-check endpoint for logged-in users.
Backit Plugin runs content scripts on HTTP and HTTPS pages and checks the current page URL when it identifies a supported merchant page. For logged-in cashback users, it sends that URL to Backit's app.backit.me affiliate checkLink endpoint with account-related request headers so the service can return cashback information.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Backit plugin 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.
- app.backit.me
Backit plugin sends data to app.backit.me. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
