 * In my perception and that of many, you cannot capture the email address for sending
   any abandoned cart emails, without explicit approval of the customer. They provide
   an email address to be contacted about a placed order. Abanndoned carts are in
   my opninion part of marketing emails. They need to be able to deny this, without
   breaking their shopping experience. I therefor opt for a checkbox under email
   field, asking permissions to contact them in case they do not succeed placing
   an order.

 * addendum: we would need auto cleanup tools as well… cleanup data older than x
   days for instance.

 * Hi,
 * **Regarding your GDPR queries,**
 * Currently, it is not possible in our plugin to add checkbox under Email Address
   field on the checkout page and abandoned carts can be captured when the user 
   give approval.
 * Our plugin simply gives the ability to admin to add any kind of text or page 
   link (to their Privacy Policy). It will be up to the admin to make sure that 
   their Privacy Policy explicitly states how the data is used and also what data
   the plugin captures.
 * Your suggestion is nice to include. I will discuss with my team about this and
   also we will have to more communicate on this. Kindly drop us an email on “support
   at tychesoftwares dot freshdesk dot com” where we can discuss on it.
 * **>>we would need auto cleanup tools as well… cleanup data older than x days 
   for instance.**
 * No, it is not possible in the Abandoned Cart Lite to automatically delete the
   abandoned carts after a number of days.
 * I would like to let you know that we are providing the same feature in our Abandoned
   Cart PRO plugin. We do have the setting named as “Automatically Delete Abandoned
   Orders after X days” for automatically delete the records of the abandoned cart
   from Abandoned Orders tab after the days which you will set in the setting.

 * Please let me know.
 * Regards,
