Is Currency Exchange Rate safe?
Currency Exchange Rate embeds an Open Exchange Rates API key in its popup code.
When the popup runs, the extension fetches exchange-rate data from Open Exchange Rates using a hardcoded API key bundled in the extension package. That key is visible in the source and is sent to openexchangerates.org when the extension refreshes rates.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Currency Exchange Rate 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.
