Is Snap Screen Recorder safe?
Snap Screen Recorder sends an hourly Google Analytics heartbeat with a persistent extension client ID.
The background worker creates or reuses a client ID in local extension storage and a session ID in session storage. It sends a run event immediately and once per hour to Google Analytics with those IDs and engagement timing, which also exposes network metadata such as the user's IP address to Google.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Snap Screen Recorder 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.
