Is Outlier Assistant safe?
Outlier Assistant helps contributors complete AI labeling tasks on Google DataCompute by sending task data and queue events to app.outlier.ai.
The extension runs on Google DataCompute and Hume Google pages, where it reads the full page DOM, structured task fields (prompts, model responses, ratings), and active tab frame URLs. On task submission or queue-status events, this data is transmitted to Outlier's own servers at app.outlier.ai. All data collection and transmission is core to the tool's function as an AI-training task assistant for Outlier contributors.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
Publishers can request a review.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Outlier 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.
