Is Gene Info safe?
Gene Info sends selected text from webpages and form fields to api.gene-info.org for gene lookup.
Gene Info runs a content script on every site and, by default, reacts when you double-click selected text. It sends the selected webpage text or selected input-field text through the extension background script to api.gene-info.org, then displays the returned gene information on the page.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Gene Info 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.
