Is PIP safe?
PIP sends hashes of Twitter/X and Reddit post URLs to api.getpip.com to check social tip amounts.
When its content script runs on supported social sites, PIP looks for Twitter/X and Reddit content and computes SHA-256 hashes of the content URLs. Its background script posts those URL hashes, not the raw page contents, to api.getpip.com so the service can return tip amounts for those posts.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed PIP 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.
