Is Factiva Search for Business Intelligence safe?

Clean risk

Factiva Search for Business Intelligence sends selected text or popup search terms to global.factiva.com when you start a search.

When you use the extension's context-menu search or type a query in its popup, it opens Factiva with the selected text or entered terms in the searchText URL parameter. The behavior is user-triggered and sends the search text to Factiva's search page rather than collecting browsing activity in the background.
