 * What’s the purpose of the donotsellrequests cpt?
    Why your plugin creates this
   cpt without even asking? Is this a malware?

 * It is not malware.
 * There’s no setting currently to disable. You could remove the line of code that
   creates the custom post type. But you would then have no record of submissions
   if they used the form.
 * We understand the confusion and are making this an optional feature and moving
   from custom post type down to tools so this will be forthcoming asap.
 * To better understand your specific case, are you a webmaster and speaking about
   other companies/multiple different websites as your clients?
 * Or for one specific company/website are you mentioning that they have clients
   that can login to the site using wordpress permissions?
 * can you tell me for your ‘clients’ what wordpress permission they are logging
   in as? Do they have admin access to your site or editor or otherwise?
 * This will help us determine the best approach for hiding/disabling appropriately
   from specific users or all together.
 * Thank you for your candid feedback!
    Also you may email us directly at [support@data443.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-you-do-this/support@data443.com?output_format=md)

 * Hello,
 * We had to remove your plugin. The cpt popped up today after the regular plugin
   updates on one client’s site. The cpt was not created when updated your plugin
   a few days ago. At first we thought it was a malware installed by another plugin.
   We spent a few hours to understand what was going on.
 * Really now, in what state of mind you decided to create a cpt named ” Do not 
   sell info”?

    You can
   revert back to a previous version before the cpt was added.
 * 1.0.37 or 1.0.39 will work for you until we resolve this.

 * This was a terrible idea.
    removing your plugin from all client sites.

 * I agree with the OP and [@opalsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opalsupport/).
   Awful idea, terrible implementation, no communication about the change.
 * I am deleting the plugin from client sites immediately.
