Is hotukdeals | Shopping with Savings safe?
hotukdeals reports visited domains and detected product details to Pepper/HotUKDeals services.
On pages where its content script runs, the extension asks Browsy for domain-specific merchant and price-comparison settings using the current page hostname. When price comparison is enabled, it can detect product data from the page and send the page URL, product name, GTIN, and price to Pepper/HotUKDeals analytics and price-comparison endpoints.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
