Is TLDR This - Free automatic text summary tool safe?
TLDR This sends the active tab URL, public IP address, and account API key to v1.tldrthis.com when you open its popup.
When the popup runs, it reads the active tab URL, looks up the public IP address through api.ipify.org, and posts the URL plus IP address and stored API key to TLDR This for summarization. This is the extension's stated summarization workflow and is triggered by opening the browser popup, not by passive browsing.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed TLDR This 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.
