Is Birthday Calendar Exporter for Facebook safe?
Birthday Calendar Exporter for Facebook scans Facebook for friends' birthdays and stores names, IDs, and dates locally.
When you start a scan, the extension injects a script into an open Facebook tab, uses Facebook's GraphQL birthday query, and saves friends' names, Facebook IDs, and birth dates in Chrome local storage for calendar features. The popup also sends Google Analytics events with a persistent client ID plus page views and actions such as popup opens, scan success, and button clicks.
