Is VHelper safe?
VHelper generates a browser/device fingerprint on Amazon Vine pages and uploads it to api.v-helper.com.
When Amazon Vine pages load, the extension builds a fingerprint from browser, hardware, screen, language, timezone, canvas, WebGL, and font signals. It sends the fingerprint hash plus identifiers such as uuid, country, app version, device name, signature, and public key to api.v-helper.com.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

FMaz - no other listings under this identity, 8 shared hostnames
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 8 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 4.4.5. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to. The current listed version is 4.5.2, which we have not unpacked yet.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed VHelper 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.
