Is StayFree - Web Analytics & Time Tracker safe?
StayFree tracks site visits and AI-chat usage metadata across pages and sends usage records to api.stayfreeapps.com.
StayFree runs content scripts on all matched pages and records browsing sessions, page views, referrers, campaign parameters, and device/account metadata for upload to its API. It also detects supported AI chat services and uploads conversation analytics such as hashed conversation IDs, model names, subscription state, links, and interaction metadata.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.9.5. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed StayFree - Web Analytics & Time Tracker 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.
