This extension doesn't work without an internet connection. Which data is sent and where is it sent to? How can I use this extension without sending my data somewhere?

There is a sandboxed version of the manifest file for this extension which I had linked on the Github.io pages, but it was not previously on the Readme. I just updated it so you can download it from the Github repository page as well.

Just for clarity, you will always need an internet connection to load this extension (unless you host it locally on your network). The security comes from the sandboxed nature of the extension. The extension is loaded from the Tableau Hosted domain (https://extensions.tableauusercontent.com/sandbox/hierarchy-navigator/hierarchynavigator.html) but once loaded the sandbox prevents any external network calls by this (or any sandboxed) extension.
