Is pCloud Save safe?
pCloud Save sends saved-site details and the browser user agent to Google Analytics when users save content.
When a user saves files, text, image collections, or context-menu items, the extension posts Google Analytics events containing the save type, saved website or domain, and browser user agent. These events go to Google Analytics using the extension's Google Analytics property.

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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.6.1. 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 pCloud Save 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.
