Is Whatfix for Compass safe?
Whatfix for Compass captures page DOM content and cookie-accessible assets and uploads them to Whatfix's own servers during Studio authoring sessions.
When a content author opens Whatfix's "Studio" web app on a supported page, the extension is signaled to start a capture session. It then reads the page's DOM/HTML and fetches page assets (using the page's own cookies to access them), and uploads that content to Whatfix's own dashboard backend so the author can build interactive walkthroughs from the captured screens. The upload target is limited to Whatfix's own domain and only runs while a Studio session is active.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same operator - 4 listings
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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 Whatfix for Compass 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.
