Is Elicit: AI for Scientific Research safe?

Low risk

Elicit attaches the signed-in user's email address and account tier to log events sent to Datadog.

When a user is logged in to elicit.com, the webpage sends the user's email address, account tier, and session ID to the extension via postMessage. The extension forwards this context to the Datadog Logs SDK running in an offscreen document, so all subsequent log entries transmitted to browser-intake-datadoghq.com include the user's email as a persistent identifier.

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