Setup asks whether you agree to share anonymous usage data. Your answer is recorded as a setting on your site, and the plugin is not sending any usage data today. This page covers what that setting does, the one thing that is sent regardless of it, and where to change your choice.
What the setting does today
It records your preference and nothing else. There is no usage reporting in the plugin: no feature counters, no language counts, no error reporting, nothing sent on a schedule.
If that changes, this page will list exactly what is collected before it ships, and the setting will govern it.
What is sent regardless
Every request the plugin makes to Universally identifies itself, because that is how requests are supported and debugged. Each one carries:
- the Universally plugin version
- your WordPress version
- your PHP version
- your site address
This is not covered by the usage setting, and switching the setting off does not remove it. It is sent only to Universally, only on requests your site already makes to translate content or sync languages, and it is never passed to a third party.
Your page content and its translations travel on those same requests, because translating them is the service. That is handled under our Privacy Policy.
What is never collected
- Your visitors' or customers' personal data
- Your login credentials or billing details
- Anything sold or shared with advertisers
Change your choice
In WordPress, go to Universally » Preferences » Privacy and use the Anonymous Usage Data toggle. It is on by default.
You can also set it during setup: the welcome screen of the connect flow carries the checkbox "I agree to share anonymous usage data to help make Universally better for everyone". Either way, the choice can be changed later, in both directions, with no effect on translation.
