🔒 Privacy Policy

Make Section & Column Clickable Elementor uses the Appsero SDK to collect telemetry data only after the user provides confirmation.

Appsero SDK does not gather data by default.

The SDK only starts collecting basic telemetry data when a user explicitly allows it through the WordPress admin notice.

The collected telemetry helps us:

• Troubleshoot problems faster
• Understand plugin usage
• Improve compatibility
• Improve the overall user experience

Integrating the Appsero SDK does not immediately start collecting data without user confirmation.
