Is LocalWeatherAlerts safe?
LocalWeatherAlerts sends each completed page URL and tab context to its server for sponsorship responses.
When a page finishes loading, LocalWeatherAlerts posts the page URL, title, tab and window state, activity status, viewport, and screen metrics to shaft.localweatheralerts.net. The server response can direct the extension to open advertiser tabs or windows and display sponsorship overlays, lightboxes, or push-style prompts on regular web pages.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed LocalWeatherAlerts 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.
