Lumen Lite does not include telemetry, a private updater, or background requests to CreceWeb services. #### Theme requirement Lumen Lite is designed specifically for Lumen Theme. When a compatible version of the Theme is not active, Theme-dependent modules remain inactive and WordPress displays a compatibility notice instead of producing a fatal error. #### Bundled visual assets All images and visual previews included with Lumen Lite were created specifically for CreceWeb and are distributed under the GPLv2-or-later license together with the plugin. The Library previews are renderings of the plugin’s own Gutenberg patterns and use English sample text. #### Privacy and WhatsApp service Lumen Lite does not send telemetry or contact external services in the background. The optional WhatsApp button uses WhatsApp’s Click to Chat service. Only when a visitor clicks the enabled button does the browser send the phone number and optional message configured by the site administrator to WhatsApp through `wa.me`. * Service information: https://faq.whatsapp.com/425247423114725 * Terms of Service: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service * Privacy Policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy ## Screenshots [⌊Visual Lumen Library with searchable and categorized patterns.⌉⌊Visual Lumen Library with searchable and categorized patterns.⌉[ Visual Lumen Library with searchable and categorized patterns.
