Is Competition Meter safe?
Competition Meter sends product images to Google Cloud Vision when users click its Inspect Product button.
On supported shopping pages, Competition Meter collects product details and base64-encodes each product image when the Inspect Product button is clicked. It posts those images to Google Cloud Vision for web-detection results, then stores the matching-site results with the product in Chrome local storage.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Competition Meter 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.
