Is Skribbl Shape Tools safe to install?

What data it declares

The developer declares that it collects these kinds of data:

• Authentication information such as passwords, credentials or PIN codes
• Location such as region, IP address or GPS coordinates
• User activity such as clicks, scrolling, keystrokes or network monitoring

The developer also certifies that your data is not sold to third parties outside approved uses, not used for purposes unrelated to the extension's core function, and not used to decide creditworthiness or lending.

The listing links to a privacy policy.

This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change your data on skribbl.io

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What it can reach

No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.

Routine for an extension

• Store data in your browser storage

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 1 site pattern.

• *://skribbl.io/* only skribbl.io

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.

What the store shows

The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.

Has it asked for more over time?

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
