Is ClearContext safe?

Low risk

ClearContext sends the full URL of every page you load to api.clearcontext.co to look up a news bias rating.

On every page, the extension's content script requests a bias rating from its own server, including the full address with any query string. If the server reports a rating, the extension adds an orange bar at the top of the page. The lookup is not limited to news sites, so non-news and private pages are also sent.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed ClearContext 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.
