External Services Milo Subscriptions connects to milosubscriptions.com, in two situations: 1. Anonymous usage tracking (opt-in, off by default). If you enable “Usage tracking” in the plugin settings, Milo Subscriptions sends an anonymized weekly report to our website. This is disabled by default and never runs unless you turn it on. The report contains no personal data: plugin, WordPress, PHP, and WooCommerce versions; locale, currency, and store base country; a one-way hash of your site URL; aggregate subscription counts and MRR; the payment gateways and billing periods in use; and which Milo add-ons are active. It is sent once per week while enabled, and stops when you disable the setting. 2. Downloading the free Milo Payments plugin (on demand). When you choose to install Milo Payments from the plugin’s admin, the plugin file is fetched from our website. This request only happens when you click to install and sends no data beyond a standard download request.
