It only sends your outgoing WordPress email through the third-party mail provider(s) <strong>you choose and configure<\/strong> with your own credentials. Nothing is sent anywhere until you add and enable a connection, and no usage data, analytics, or telemetry is ever collected by the plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you enable a provider, your outgoing message data \u2014 the recipient address(es), subject, body, and headers \u2014 is transmitted to that provider each time WordPress sends an email (for example a contact-form notification, a password reset, or a WooCommerce order email), so the provider can deliver it on your behalf. Data is only sent to the specific provider(s) you connect; deactivating a connection stops any further data being sent to it.<\/p>\n\n<p>Each provider is an independent company operating under its own terms of service and privacy policy.
