Is LingQ Importer safe?
LingQ Importer sends imported page details, selected text, or video subtitles to LingQ when you click Import.
When you open the popup and click Import, LingQ Importer posts a lesson payload to LingQ that includes the active page URL and title. Depending on the page, that payload can also include selected text, tweet content, images, or subtitle files from supported video sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Amazon Video, and Apple TV.

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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.3.49. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed LingQ Importer 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.
