Is PitchBook Extension for Google Chrome™ safe?

Low risk

PitchBook Extension reports each active tab's domain to PitchBook profile lookup APIs.

When tabs change, pages load, or a browser window regains focus, the background worker reads the active tab URL and sends the host name to browserplugin.pitchbook.com. It uses that domain to request exact or fuzzy company profile matches, together with the extension's stored authorization token.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
