Is Sports Engine safe?
Sports Engine sends Chrome top-site hostnames to Google's favicon service whenever its new-tab page opens.
When Sports Engine replaces the browser's new-tab page, it reads Chrome's top sites list to show site tiles. For each top site, it requests a favicon from Google's favicon service using that site's hostname, so Google receives the hostnames of frequently visited sites on each new-tab load.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Sports Engine 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.
