Steals your email address without asking, violates GDPR

    As soon as activating the plug-in, it will scrape your email address from your WordPress installation user profile and start sending you emails & periodic newsletter spam without explicit permission. There is no “enter email address” field, no “subscribe” button, no “verify email address” button… it just automatically starts sending emails. Even if you don’t click the link in the verification email, other emails start arriving. If there was an explicit opt-in for that kind of thing it would be fine, but automatically doing it violates GDPR laws.

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks for your feedback. We take concerns like this very seriously.

    We’d like to clarify that our plugin uses a double opt-in process for any email communications. This means that after an initial sign-up or trigger, a confirmation email is sent, and no further emails are delivered unless the recipient explicitly confirms their subscription. We do not send newsletters or marketing emails without this verified consent.

    The plugin may reference the admin email associated with the WordPress installation for essential account or service-related communication, but this is not used for unsolicited marketing.

    We are fully committed to GDPR compliance and transparency in how data is handled. If you believe something didn’t work as expected in your case, we’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate further, please reach out to our support team so we can look into it.

    Best regards,
