 * Hello,
 * I was looking at the admin\functions.php file for the current WAH version 0.6.0.6,
   and I see that it is collecting client data and sending it to [http://volkov.co.il](http://volkov.co.il).
   Do you have a privacy policy? What is that data being used for?
 * The data collected includes a client IP address. Is it gathering the server IP
   address, or the IP address of the administrative user accessing the dashboard?
   A user IP address is considered personal information, as is the administrator’s
   email address, so if the plugin is collecting that information and sending it
   to third parties, that needs to be disclosed so that it can be noted in privacy
   policies.
 * Is there a way to opt out of this information gathering? Collecting personal 
   information without a way to opt out is against privacy laws in the EU and some
   other regions.
 * ETA: I see the control to opt out, never mind, sorry about that! I didn’t look
   closely enough.
