Is Bookface Companion safe?
Bookface Companion sends Gmail thread participant email addresses to Bookface when Gmail conversations load.
When a Gmail conversation loads, Bookface Companion reads participant email addresses from the page and posts them to Bookface endpoints for investor and candidate context. When LinkedIn pages are viewed, it also sends the current LinkedIn profile URL to Bookface for related context.
