Took a long time following links to find:

In order for off.guard to work properly make sure to activate push-notifications for this website in chrome settings and click activate notifications below. Then off.guard will take care of the rest.

So it's using net access to push info out.

I gave up finding more. Lots of marketing buzz words and little technical details.

Yes. When everyone enters info on corporate sites, sooner or later they'll decide to monetize it.

Reddit going evil on charges and showing their colours in the AMA has been a wake up.
