Is Tasks for Canvas™ safe?
Tasks for Canvas™ sends the school's hostname to the developer's analytics server at most once every 30 days.
When the extension detects a Canvas LMS page (by checking for the ic-app element), a content script captures the current hostname and POSTs it to tasksforcanvas.onrender.com/analytics. This transmission occurs at most once every 30 days per browser profile, controlled by a timestamp stored in synced browser storage. No other page content or user-identifying data is included in the payload.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 3 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Tasks for Canvas™ 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.
