Is Otter Vault safe to install?

What data it declares

The developer declares that it collects these kinds of data:

• Personally identifiable information such as name, address, email address or age
• Authentication information such as passwords, credentials or PIN codes
• Website content such as text, images or links on the pages you open

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 all your data on all websites
• Read data you copy and paste
• Modify data you copy and paste

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.

• Sign you in with a Google account identity

Routine for an extension

• Schedule work to run later alarms
• Put data on your clipboard clipboardWrite

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.

• http://*/* every site
• https://*/* every site

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.

The listing says it offers in-app purchases.

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.
