Privacy & GDPR Compliance:
SignalKit is fully GDPR compliant and respects user privacy: 
* Uses only essential functional cookies (no tracking cookies) 
* No data transmitted to external services unless you explicitly configure webhooks 
* All analytics data stored locally in your WordPress database 
* Clear privacy notices displayed when external integrations are configured 
* Users can dismiss banners at any time (preference stored in cookies) 
* No personal data collected without explicit user submission 
* Lead capture data stored securely on your server only 
* Security & Rate Limiting: To prevent abuse and protect your site, we temporarily process User Agent strings and specific IP addresses. These are used solely for security checks (rate limiting) and are not stored persistently or used for tracking.
Technical Implementation Notes:
SignalKit uses several standard WordPress optimization patterns: 
* Critical CSS Inline: Banners include minimal critical CSS inline in the head for performance (prevents flash of unstyled content). Full styles are loaded via wp_enqueue_style(). 
* JSON-LD Schema Markup: Structured data (schema.org) is output for SEO benefits – this is standard practice for organization/website markup and does not track users. 
* Local Analytics Tracking: All banner analytics (impressions, clicks, dismissals) are stored in your local WordPress database only. No external analytics services are used. 
* Webhook Consent: External webhook transmission only occurs when you explicitly opt-in via the webhook consent setting. By default, no data leaves your server.
