Is Extension Guard - Manage and secure extensions safe?
Extension Guard sends your installed-extension inventory to Chrome-Stats for risk analysis.
Extension Guard reads the list of extensions installed in your browser when it is installed, once per day, and when extensions are added or removed. It sends that inventory to Chrome-Stats for analysis, omitting descriptions, options URLs, and icons from the uploaded extension records.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Extension Guard 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.
