In reply to Vova Feldman.

I don’t think that this discussion should be here,

Why is that? Not thinking the discussion belonging somewhere specific isn’t a validation in itself and also, merely up to the mods.

Marcus addresses valid concerns that in my opinion adds value for other WordPress users. If you stand by your product, the Tavern is the perfect platform to address these concerns and make people understand your point of view. It can build trust. On the other hand, taking a discussion away from the public eye, is never a good idea for trust concerns.

Also I do not see Marcus primary concerns addressed entirely. Why are admin usernames and e-mailadres collected (opt in)? Can someone that installed the plugin use a different e-mailadres not being associated with the admin account? I fail to see goal binding here.

I believe the feedback from Marcus can lead to a better product and experience for all parties. Data collection is a hot issue. Every critical question about this should be embraced

So, because of this questionnaire when deleting the plugin, I believe Freemius installs hooks into the plugin even if you opt-out during activation.

Opting out (aka not opting in) means there should be no “nag screen” in the end. At least from a user point of view. It’s confusing at best. Even if it can be skipped. That’s just my opinion.
