Is Live Screen Recorder safe?

Low risk

Live Screen Recorder sends a persistent anonymous usage identifier to Google Analytics every hour.

Each time the extension runs, it generates a UUID that is stored locally and used as a stable client identifier. Once per hour, this identifier is transmitted to Google Analytics via a POST request using a hardcoded measurement ID and API secret. The analytics call includes a session ID and records that the extension is running, allowing the developer to track active installs over time.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Live Screen Recorder 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.
