EdminBoost does not track you, does not phone home, and does not send your site data to EdminBoost or Asphalt Themes in the background.
What stays on your server
- All settings (layout, theme, features, white label) live in your WordPress database.
- Export and import run through your site’s admin; the JSON file is created or read on your server unless you download or upload it yourself.
- Top bar badges (orders, comments, updates, form entries) read local WordPress and plugin data only. Counts are not fetched from external APIs.
When your browser talks to another website
Nothing happens automatically. External links only open if you click them, for example:
- Billing page — “View Pro pricing” or “View Agency pricing” opens the Asphalt Themes pricing page in a new tab.
- Plugins screen — “Docs” opens the online documentation in a new tab.
Those clicks are normal website visits, like any other link you choose to open. EdminBoost does not embed hidden tracking pixels or analytics in those flows.
What EdminBoost does not do
- No usage telemetry or “phone home” health checks for marketing.
- No selling or sharing of admin data with third parties.
- No license validation calls in the WordPress.org build (per plugin design).
Drawer panels
Drawer links load admin pages inside a panel on your own site (iframe). That is still your WordPress install, not a third-party service.
Cookies and sessions
EdminBoost uses normal WordPress login and security tokens (nonces) for saves and drawer loads. It does not add its own ad or cross-site tracking cookies.
If privacy policy matters for your clients
You can truthfully say: admin customization runs locally; optional upgrade/docs links are user-initiated; badge numbers come from data already on the site.
Questions from security-minded admins
“Does it call external APIs for badges?”
No. WooCommerce and WPForms badges use local database reads when those plugins are present.
“Does saving settings send data outbound?”
No. AJAX save writes to your database only.
“Does uninstall remove data?”
Yes. Deleting the plugin removes its options from the database (see settings uninstall doc). Deactivating keeps data until you delete.
