Is ShareThis safe?

Clean risk

ShareThis sends the active tab's URL and title to ShareThis analytics when you open its popup.

When the extension popup opens, it reads the current tab and creates a hidden image request to l.sharethis.com/pview containing the page title and URL. Because it has tabs permission and access to all URLs, the current tab can be any site you are viewing.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed ShareThis 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.

  • l.sharethis.com

    ShareThis sends data to l.sharethis.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
