Is Lingvanex - Online Text and Voice Translator safe?
Lingvanex sends the user's plaintext email address to PostHog analytics on every account login.
When a user signs in to their Lingvanex account through the extension, the background script sends a 'Login' analytics event to PostHog (a third-party analytics vendor) that includes the account id along with the literal email address used to log in. This happens on every successful login and is the only tracked event in the extension that carries the raw email field.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 3.2.10. 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 Lingvanex 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.
