Is PerkSpot: Save While You Shop safe?
PerkSpot sends search-result offer interactions and affiliate navigation hostnames to its Snowplow collector.
On Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo result pages, the extension injects PerkSpot offer cards and sends display or click events that include a user ID, community ID, search engine domain, merchant IDs, and clicked offer link. After affiliate-referrer navigations, it also sends a user-linked event with the destination hostname when it stands down for another affiliate flow.
