Features & Capabilities

Our browser plug-in, allows you participate in a EuroStemCell data donation project. It automatically submits search queries to Google up to six times a day. Their results are then sent to a University server in Kaiserslautern, Germany. We collect data, analyze it and publish some of it along with the results when the project is finished. First, you will have to fill in a demographic survey to provide some statistical data and allow us to assign you to a study with respective settings such as a set of keywords and the URL of a search provider. The plugin sends the query along with the current settings of the plugin, and a study ID. To do this, a tab must be opened, which closes again after retrieving the data. The plugin then sends details such as URL, title and content on web search results, advertising and top stories. Taking part in the study is free and will not be compensated. You contribute to a scientific cause and results will be provided to the public with an open source licence. The project is concerned with black boxing socially relevant algorithms.

Is EuroStemCell Data Collection Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

EuroStemCell Data Collection requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
