We do not collect users’ own subscribers’ data, nor does it have any access to that data: hence, we are not a data processor, so a data processing agreement is not needed. Anyway, if you configure the plugin to use external services (usually an external mail delivery service) you should check with that service if some sort of agreement is required. Support We provide support for our plugin on WordPress.org forums and through our official forum. Premium Users with an active license have access to one-to-one support via our ticketing system. Developers We have a documentation section dedicated to those who want to develop with the Newsletter plugin. You can find us on GitHub with some examples of addons.
