Is Buffer safe?
Schedule social media posts through Buffer.com from Chrome.
This extension lets you capture content ideas, share articles and images, and schedule future posts to social platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. It requires a Buffer account and syncs content between your desktop and mobile Buffer account.

Shared hosts - 3 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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 6.0.26. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Buffer 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.
