Is ZeWork for Education safe?

Medium risk

ZeWork for Education offers an opt-in translator that sends chat message text to translation services.

When the user turns on auto-translate (off by default) on the ZeWork chat page, the text of chat messages (up to 1,800 characters) is sent to Google Translate or MyMemory, or to OpenAI if the user supplies their own API key. Only messages from chat.zework.com are translated.

Rated medium risk because of who publishes it: 1 of the 4 other listings from the same operator is rated high or critical for malicious behaviour. Flagged: Story Saver (high).
