 * Is there any reason that the administrator email for the website is exposed in
   the front end javascript?
 * In the variable gmwVars there is a parameter nominatim_email which contains the
   websites wordpress administrators email?
 * Aside from being a bit of a security issue, I am recieving an increasing amound
   of SEO spam for the client website. I suspect they scape websites to find email
   addresses and sell them on to these ‘seo’ companies.
 * This plugin works great and I will continue to use it, but I just wanted to see
   if there was a way of removing the email from the source code.

 * Hello [@ts1wl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ts1wl/),
 * We need to provide an email address ( instead of an API key ) when using Nominatim
   and LeafLet as the geocoding/mapping provider. And when passing the email address
   to the script, it gets populated on the page ( hidden from the front-end user
   of course ).
 * It might still work without an email address in the Settings page, so you can
   give it a try. Navigate to the dashboard -> GEO my WP -> Settings -> Maps & Geocoders
   and remove the email address.
 * I hope this helps.
