Is Stopwatch app safe?
Stopwatch app sends install and stopwatch usage events to Google Analytics with a persistent client ID.
The extension creates a persistent client ID in browser storage and sends Google Analytics events when it is installed, when the popup opens, and when the stopwatch starts or stops. These requests include the client ID, event name, and session/engagement parameters, but the reviewed code does not show stopwatch lap times or browsing history being sent.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Stopwatch app 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.
