Is Canva Automate safe?

Low risk

Canva Automate copies your Genby token into Canva page localStorage where Canva scripts can read it.

When you use genby.ai, the extension reads the user_token value, stores it in the extension background page, then writes it into localStorage on canva.com/folder pages. Because that storage belongs to the Canva page, Canva page scripts can read the Genby token from localStorage.user_token.

Where it sends data
