Is Format Copier safe?
Format Copier sends Chrome profile email, weekly IP geolocation, and Gmail feedback content to its backend.
Format Copier contacts backend.formatpainter.com with the Chrome profile email, extension details, and IP geolocation data collected through ipinfo.io during startup and scheduled checks. When a user submits a bug report from Gmail, the extension can include selected message content and compose-body HTML in the feedback sent to the same backend.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Format Copier 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.
