Mos-def! If you are familiar with the guidelines, you already know that “phoning home” is not allowed without the user’s consent. Therefore, we don’t capture any information without user opt-in. We probably have the most strict opt-in form in the wp.org repo.
Absolutely YES! There’s no collision nor interaction between Freemius and other eCommerce solutions. You can add Freemius Insights both to your free and premium plugin versions.
Yes! It’s compliant with the marketplace rules. In fact, a similar analytics product, called PressTrends, was widely adapted by ThemeForest and CodeCanyon developers in early 2014.
Yes, you can! In addition, since you are not obligated to any guidelines, you can capture all the information without the opt-in screen. If you do so, you would need to explicitly mention that part in your privacy and terms of use. Having said that, since no one really reads the privacy and terms, we do recommend using the opt-in screen as an ethical transparency act.
Your data is safe and sound. We will never-ever, never-ever, share your user emails with any 3rd party.
We crafted special filters to customize the messaging and buttons of the opt-in screen. If it’s not enough, you can completely edit the PHP template file in the SDK. Make sure you keep it clear about what information is being captured and that it’s sent to Freemius. Otherwise, it won’t be compliant with the WordPress.org guidelines.
Yes! Freemius Insights is now fully integrated with themes!
