Is Store Detector - Shopify Analysis & Dropship Tool safe?
Store Detector sends your public IP address to api.ipify.org when it detects a Shopify storefront.
Its content script runs on all HTTP and HTTPS pages, but the IP lookup is gated to Shopify detection. On detected Shopify storefronts, it fetches https://api.ipify.org?format=json and uses the returned address to check a hardcoded blocked-IP list.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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
Destinations our analysis observed Store Detector - Shopify Analysis & Dropship Tool 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.
