Privacy & Tracking

To help us improve our service and troubleshoot issues, this plugin collects a one-time installation telemetry payload when the dashboard is first opened by an administrator.

The following specific data is collected and sent to the UpSnap API securely:
– Server Data: WordPress version, PHP version, Site URL, and plugin version.
– Administrator Data: Email address, display name, and (if available in user meta) phone number and company name of the user who first accesses the dashboard.
– Client/Browser Data: User-Agent (browser), OS platform, browser language, screen resolution, and local timezone.
– Network Data: The user’s IP address, which is resolved to a country using the external ipapi.co service (as disclosed above).

This telemetry is collected strictly for diagnostic purposes, support enablement, and aggregated usage metrics.
