Same operator - 1 listing

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

Shared hosts - 14 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.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Lean Library 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.

  • workspace.leanlibrary.com

    Lean Library sends data to workspace.leanlibrary.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
