Sharing Your Data with Us

Starting from version 14.13 of WP Statistics, we introduced a new feature that allows you to voluntarily share anonymous data with us. This feature helps us understand how site owners use WP Statistics and which configurations or features matter most. Sharing your data is completely optional—it’s disabled by default and can be turned on at your discretion.

Why Do We Need This Data?

We believe that data-driven insights allow us to improve WP Statistics in meaningful ways. By learning which features are frequently enabled or understanding the versions of WordPress or PHP our users run, we can:

Important: The data is for our internal analysis only. We never resell or share this data with any external parties. For more information, please visit our Privacy Notice.

Data We Do Not Collect

We strictly avoid collecting any personal or sensitive information, including but not limited to:

In other words, no personal or identifiable information about you, your users, or your website content is gathered or shared.

Data We Do Collect

If you choose to opt-in, WP Statistics sends us the following information once every two months:

How Anonymization Works

Your site’s domain is never sent to our servers in plain text. Instead, WP Statistics:

  1. Creates a SHA-256 hash of your domain address.
  2. Truncates the hash to the first 40 characters.

This process ensures we can never directly identify which website the data came from. Each website is represented by a unique hashed ID that cannot be reversed to reveal your domain.

How to Enable or Disable Sharing

By default, anonymous data sharing is turned off. Here’s how to change that:

  1. Go to WordPress Admin → Statistics → Settings.
  2. Select the Advanced Options tab.
  3. Find the Share anonymous data setting and check “Enable” to turn it on.
  4. Click Save to confirm your changes.

That’s it! If you ever change your mind, you can simply return to this setting at any time to enable or disable data sharing.
