Is LeadMagnet Plus safe?
LeadMagnet Plus sends your WhatsApp number, profile name and Chrome email to wa-web-plus.web.app when WhatsApp Web loads.
When WhatsApp Web opens, the extension reads the logged-in phone number and profile name from the page and the Chrome profile email through the identity permission. It sends these to its own server once per number, with no consent prompt. A second request sends the phone number and the extension ID.

Where it sends data
