Is SmartSpending safe?
SmartSpending sends bundled OAuth client credentials to Reward Gateway when exchanging browser sign-in codes for tokens.
SmartSpending includes a hardcoded Reward Gateway OAuth client ID and client secret in its extension bundle. After a browser sign-in flow returns an authorization code, the extension posts that code and the bundled client secret to Reward Gateway's token endpoint, and uses the same endpoint for refresh-token exchanges.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed SmartSpending 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.
