Security

SVG Support prioritizes security with automatic sanitization and role-based restrictions. Only trusted users should have upload permissions. Configure settings to balance functionality and security.

External Services

SVG Support does not send your data anywhere on its own — everything it does (uploads, sanitization, inline rendering) happens entirely on your own site.

The one exception is opt-in: the plugin’s settings screen offers a sign-up form for the SVG Support Pro waitlist. If — and only if — you type your email address into that form and submit it, your browser sends that email address, plus a fixed label marking the plugin settings screen as the source (utm_source=svg-support-plugin), to Kit (kit.com), the newsletter service used for SVG Support announcements. Nothing is transmitted if you never use the form, no information is collected in the background, and every email includes a one-click unsubscribe.
