Is National Rail: Ride and Shop safe?
National Rail: Ride and Shop sends the hostname of each page you visit to a cashback partner API.
On every http(s) page, the extension looks up the site's hostname to check for cashback offers. The request also includes a label for how you arrived (organic search, paid ad, social), inferred from the referrer and click-ID parameters. Only the hostname is sent, not the full path or query, and results are cached for 24 hours.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed National Rail: Ride and Shop 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.
