Is Document Translator safe?

Low risk

Document Translator sends viewed PDF page URLs to Mixpanel analytics.

Document Translator runs a content script on every site and checks whether the page is a PDF. When it detects a PDF page, it injects a translate button and immediately sends a Mixpanel event that includes the page protocol, host, and path along with extension analytics identifiers.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Document Translator 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.
