Is Search My News safe?
Search My News sends search terms entered through browser search and its extension UI to searchmynews.com.
Search My News sets searchmynews.com as the browser's default search provider, so address-bar searches are sent there. Searches entered through the extension's omnibox keyword, popup, and startup page also open searchmynews.com URLs containing the user's typed query.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Search My News 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.
