Is CaptainFact safe?
CaptainFact sends matching YouTube video URLs to graphql.captainfact.io to load fact-checking statements.
CaptainFact runs on YouTube pages and checks whether the current video appears in its cached CaptainFact video list. When there is a match, it sends the YouTube URL to graphql.captainfact.io in a GraphQL request so it can display fact-checking statements in the page overlay.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed CaptainFact 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.
