Plugin Risk Score is a free tool operated by Prystine Web Solutions (“we”, “us”). We’ve built it to collect as little personal data as possible. This page explains what we do and don’t collect.
When you check a plugin, the plugin name or slug you enter is sent to the official WordPress.org Plugin API to retrieve public information about that plugin. This involves no personal data about you, and we don’t store a record of the plugins you look up against your identity.
We use a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (such as page views and referrers). Plausible is privacy-focused: it uses no cookies, doesn’t collect personal data, and doesn’t track or identify individual visitors. The data is anonymous and aggregated.
If you choose to enter your email address to subscribe, we use it only to send occasional updates, and we store it with our email provider, MailerLite. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, which removes you from the list. We won’t use your email for anything you didn’t sign up for.
We don’t use tracking or advertising cookies. Our analytics are cookieless, so no cookie banner is needed.
We rely on a small number of third parties to run the site:
If you’re in the UK or EU, you have rights under the UK GDPR and GDPR, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you (in practice, that’s your newsletter email, if you subscribed). To exercise any of these, email us at the address below.

We may update this policy from time to time; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
