Is Ring.io Web Phone safe?

Low risk

Ring.io Web Phone lets page scripts and other extensions trigger Ring.io call and SMS workflows.

Its content script runs on most websites and listens for page-level placeCall and sendSms events, then forwards the event details to the Ring.io web phone. It also exposes an external runtime bridge to any extension ID, allowing messages that can self-uninstall this extension or dispatch Ring.io actions such as opening tabs, calls, SMS, and contact workflows.

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

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.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Ring.io Web Phone 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.

  • app.ringio.com

    Ring.io Web Phone sends data to app.ringio.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
