Is RSS Reader safe?
RSS Reader sends shopping product links on visited pages to Hocgin and rewrites them with returned affiliate URLs.
On visited pages, RSS Reader checks links for Taobao, Tmall, JD, and JD HK product URLs. Matching URLs are sent to Hocgin's batch conversion API, and the extension replaces those page links with the URLs returned by that service.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed RSS Reader 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.
