Is DeepL / MultiTranslate safe?
DeepL / MultiTranslate sends selected page text to the chosen translation service when you translate it.
When you use the context menu, popup, or selection label to translate text, the extension reads the selected text from the current page. It places that text into a DeepL, Bing/Microsoft Translator, or Google Translate URL and opens the translation service in a popup or embedded view.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed DeepL / MultiTranslate 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.
