Is Sitecore Author Toolbox safe?
Sitecore Author Toolbox sends hashed Sitecore user email addresses to Gravatar on Experience Profile pages.
When a Sitecore Experience Profile page shows a user email address, the extension's default Gravatar feature computes an MD5 hash of that email and uses it in a profile image URL. That causes the browser to request an avatar from Gravatar, disclosing the hashed email lookup along with normal request metadata.

Where it sends data
