From the author: "I've been developing chat plugins for over 10 years. Listened to tons of feedback for the free version of SAC, and implemented all the most popular features into the Pro version. SAC Pro is completely rewritten from the ground up, with a solid flexible codebase that's tightly integrated with WordPress core." **Privacy** This plugin collects voluntary user chat data (i.e., Name, Chat Message, and optional URL field). It also gives the administrator the option to collect or not collect user IP information. Aside from those two things, this plugin does not collect or store any user data. This plugin uses a few simple cookies for remembering chat names and URLs. It does not connect to any third-party locations. Minimal impact on privacy. **Getting Help** There are two channels for getting help: * [Ask a question in the SAC Pro Forum](https://plugin-planet.com/category/forum+sac-pro/) ([login required](https://plugin-planet.com/wp/wp-login.php)) * [Send an email via the contact form](https://plugin-planet.com/support/#contact) The contact form is best for direct support, bug reports, and feedback. **Downloads** * [Log in to your account](https://plugin-planet.com/wp/wp-login.php) to download the latest version of SAC Pro. * Get more information about [how to download pro plugins](https://plugin-planet.com/download-purchased-plugin/).
