Task & Project Management – Alba Board
v2.3.0 · by Alejandro
Organize tasks, assign work, and track project progress with visual boards in WordPress. Keep comments and files together.
About this plugin
Alba Board helps you organize tasks, assign work, and see what needs to happen next, directly in WordPress. Keep each project’s work on a visual board, move task cards between lists as work progresses, and keep related comments and files together.
Use it to track client projects, plan content, manage team to-do lists, or organize your own work. Create lists for the steps in your process, such as To Do, In Progress, and Done. Each card represents a task, so you can see the status of your work at a glance.
Work from the WordPress dashboard or display a board on a website page with the [alba_board id="123"] shortcode. Logged-in users can create cards, comment, and manage tasks according to their WordPress permissions. Publishing a board does not grant access to protected card details or permission to edit tasks.

Privacy & Optional Feedback
Usage reporting is off by default. Site administrators can opt in under Alba Board > Feedback & Privacy. Once enabled, a weekly HTTPS request sends a random installation ID and reporting/deletion credential, ISO week, Alba Board/WordPress/PHP versions, selected Alba theme, and approximate board/list/card/Board-user counts and feature activity ranges to https://albaboard.com/wp-json/alba/v2/insights. Activity ranges reflect use since opting in, not exact weekly action counts. No pre-consent activity is backfilled.
The summary excludes site URLs, names, emails, card contents, comments, uploaded files, filenames, and unrelated plugin inventories. The ID makes reports pseudonymous, not anonymous. Administrators can preview the summary fields, stop future reporting, or request deletion of linked usage reports. The receiver keeps usage reports for 90 days, subject to its scheduled cleanup. Hosting logs and backups may have separate retention.
Optional surveys send selected use-case and improvement categories, Alba Board version, submission ID, and any comment you choose to enter to https://albaboard.com/wp-json/alba/v2/survey. Survey submission has its own explicit confirmation and does not enable usage reporting or marketing. Leave out confidential information. New survey records are retained for 180 days.
The optional deactivation form sends your selected reason and any comment only when you choose Send feedback & deactivate, using https://albaboard.com/wp-json/alba/v1/feedback. Deactivate without feedback sends nothing. New feedback records are retained for 180 days; email notifications and backups may have separate retention.
Review and survey invitations appear only on Alba Board admin pages, can be postponed or permanently dismissed, and do not appear on public boards. Clicking a review link does not prove a review was posted.
Service provider and privacy policy: https://albaboard.com/elementor-page-220/
With explicit usage-sharing consent, future plugin activations/deactivations and reporting preference events are also sent to the lifecycle endpoint at https://albaboard.com/wp-json/alba/v2/lifecycle. Events contain a random installation ID, private credential, random event ID, event type, and plugin version. The service records receipt time and keeps these records for 90 days; linked deletion includes lifecycle records. Older consent requires confirmation. No earlier activations are backfilled. Delivery is best effort; missing reports do not establish deactivation or uninstall. Multisite lifecycle reporting is not supported.
For controlled development/staging tests, a site administrator can set ALBA_BOARD_REPORTING_ENVIRONMENT to staging in wp-config.php. This selects the fixed test receiver only when WordPress identifies the environment as local, development, or staging; production environments retain the production destination. Test mode is clearly labeled in Feedback & Privacy and does not grant sharing consent. Browser feedback and server reports request JSON and require a successful JSON acknowledgement. Optional server reports allow up to 20 seconds for a response. Network failures or hosting restrictions can still prevent delivery; failed requests are not counted as successful reports or deletions.
