Is Scholarometer safe?
Scholarometer posts Google Scholar profile metrics and selected tags to scholarometer.indiana.edu after you request impact data.
When you click View impact on a Google Scholar author profile, Scholarometer reads profile details, the author user ID from the page URL, h-index data, and selected tags from its injected form. It sends that data in a POST request to scholarometer.indiana.edu to query impact information.

Where it sends data
