Plugin doesn’t follow WordPress “Phone Home” guidelines

This plugin seems to send an email to the developer which contains the URL of the site where it is installed.

It does not ask for permission to do this.

This is an explicit violation of WordPress guidelines, which state the following:

7. The plugin may not “phone home” or track users without their informed, explicit, opt-in consent.

In the interest of protecting user privacy, plugins may not contact external servers without the explicit consent of the user via requiring registration with a service or a checkbox within the settings. This method is called ‘opt in.’ Documentation on how any user data is collected, and used, should be included in the plugin’s readme, preferably with a clearly stated privacy policy.

Please fix this, otherwise the plugin is seen as a privacy risk.
