Is Sprout Social safe?
Sprout Social sends the current page details to its compose interface when you use its share tools.
When you open Sprout Social's sharing UI, the extension creates a Sprout bookmarklet iframe and provides it with the current page URL plus the page title or selected text. If you use the image sharing overlay, it can also include the clicked image URL.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
