Is IV-CHAT safe?

Clean risk

IV-CHAT adds WhatsApp Web CRM tools and sends voice-message audio to its transcription server on request.

On web.whatsapp.com the extension adds customer-service features that sync your WhatsApp client ID, device ID, chat IDs and agent status to the vendor's real-time backend. When you click the injected Transcribe audio button, the voice message is downloaded and sent as base64 to the vendor's speech-to-text service. Message text was not seen in the backend sync.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed IV-CHAT 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.
