Is TikTok Insights – Smart Sorting & Filtering safe?
TikTok Insights reads TikTok feed, search and profile data and uploads it to kolsprite.com without any user action.
The extension hooks TikTok's own network responses for feeds, search, hashtags and profiles. It forwards the video lists and creator profile details it captures to kolsprite.com in the background, with no visible interface and whether or not you are signed in to the vendor service.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
3 other listings published from this account, 4k+ users between them. 2 of them carry a finding.
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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.0.2. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
