Is Sync Watch safe?
Sync Watch sends shared tab details and video playback events to its server after a user joins a room.
Sync Watch runs a content script on all pages and monitors video elements for playback actions. After the user joins a room and shares a video, it sends the selected tab's URL and title plus playback details such as frame location, event type, current time, and playback rate to its server.

Where it sends data
