Is Symantec Extension safe?
Symantec Extension sends every visited URL, full page HTML on print, and file upload details to a local Symantec DLP native host.
On every tab activation, navigation, or close event, the extension captures the active URL and all open tab URLs and forwards them to the Symantec DLP agent running on the local machine. When a user triggers the print dialog on any website, the extension captures the full page body HTML along with the page URL and title and transmits it to the same native host. File drag-and-drop, file-input selections, and clipboard paste events are also monitored: file names and last-modified timestamps are collected from all websites and sent to the native host.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Symantec 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.
