Hi barrychapman,
Sorry to hear you are disappointed.
After installing, Photo Gallery plugin displays a message, where explicitly asks your permission to get your name, email address and some more data (listed clearly in “What data is being collected?” part of the message), which
“will allow you to get more out of your plugin experience – get awesome customer support, receive exclusive deals and discounts on premium products and more”
.
As the message clearly states,
“You can choose to skip this step, Photo Gallery will still work just fine.”
After giving your permission, you get an email from us with some useful information about the plugin: steps to get started, documentation, FAQ and support links, etc. The email has an unsubscribe link, which allows you to opt out from any other email messages from us.
