Is Give Freely: You Save, We Give, Charities Win safe?
Give Freely watches every site you visit and forwards merchant order-confirmation details to its affiliate partner wild.link.
On supported shopping sites the extension activates cashback by redirecting you through wild.link affiliate links, keyed to a persistent device id. When you complete a purchase at a partner merchant (Rakuten, ShareASale, AWIN, CJ, Impact Radius and others), a background listener captures the order-confirmation request body and sends it as a query parameter to wild.link/_sales/sales, with email addresses redacted. Content scripts also run on all pages to detect checkout forms and read the order total.
