Appneck
This Plugin uses Appneck SDK to collect some telemetry data upon the user’s confirmation to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.
Appneck SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.
Integrating Appneck SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.
