What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 40k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Best Free Maps 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.
