Is Google Meet Transcription safe?

Medium risk

Google Meet Transcription uploads meeting transcripts to a remote AI summarization service.

The extension automatically turns on Google Meet transcription by default and stores participant names, avatar URLs, transcript text, and meeting metadata in local extension storage. When a user chooses Summarize & Save or requests a history summary, it sends the transcript text with the configured profile email to a summarization API whose base URL is loaded from a public Google Sheet.
