 * Hi! I wonder what are these decoding approved entries. “Contact data” contains
   email addresses with our domain but they are not displayed on our website. Should
   I be worried?

 * Hello [@monster8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monster8/),
 * Please check the URL from which this request was made. These requests come when
   a user clicks on your email on a website to decode it. This option is called “
   Encode contact data” and is designed to protect your email from crawlers and 
   bots. You can read more here: [https://cleantalk.org/help/email-encode](https://cleantalk.org/help/email-encode)

 * Hi [@dimitrycleantalk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimitrycleantalk/)!
 * Thank you for the rapid answer. I just checked the URL from which these requests
   were made and found we accidentally expose our email address. This feature is
   amazing! Keep up the good work!
