Is Search Rewards safe?
Search Rewards reports Bing and Yahoo search reward events with a persistent user ID to search-rewards.com.
Search Rewards runs on Bing and Yahoo search pages and records when a new search occurs, using the query only to avoid duplicate reports in the same browser session. It sends an encrypted event containing the search provider, whether ads were present, a stored user ID, the extension ID, and a timestamp to search-rewards.com.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

Where it sends data
