Is WebStickies safe?
WebStickies sends aggregate note-storage counts and login status from its list view to Mixpanel.
When you open the WebStickies list view, the extension counts stored notes, folders, tags, saved sites, total storage size, and whether you are logged in. It sends those aggregate values with a page-view event to Mixpanel, along with the extension version.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed WebStickies 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.
