Is Protect Eye safe?
Protect Eye requests GeoIP data from geoplugin.net over HTTP during installation to set its location.
When installed, Protect Eye calls http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp if no location is already saved. It reads the returned latitude, longitude, country, city, and region fields into local settings, while the cleartext HTTP request exposes the user's IP address and returned location data in transit.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 10k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Protect Eye 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.
