Product Data Privacy
We feel strongly that website owners and businesses should own and protect the data they store about their customers and visitors - including user engagement data.
#No "Phone Home" Requests
Meerkat does not initiate any "phone-home" requests.
#Third-Party Data Sharing
By default, Meerkat does not share any information via. third-party API calls. Some features, such as the Akismet spam guard, do require the submission of data to third-parties via. API requests. These features are disabled by default and are opt-in.
For these types of features, site administrators can further limit what data and API requests are made beyond the bare minimum to enable the feature.
#Limiting Visitor Data Collection
Meerkat allows site administrators to easily disable what additional data your site collects about visitors when they submit a comment. These settings can be adjusted in the Control Panel. View the User and Visitor Data Privacy article to learn more.
