Which types of data are being tracked?
Sikshya includes an optional usage tracking feature to help us understand how the plugin is used in real-world environments and to prioritize improvements.
This tracking is designed to be privacy-safe and high-level. It does not collect learner/customer personally identifiable information (PII) like names or email addresses.
Opt‑in / control
- You are in control. Usage tracking can be enabled/disabled any time from:
- Sikshya → Settings → Advanced → Privacy & Usage → “Share anonymous usage data”
- The setup wizard may ask for consent during the first-time onboarding as well.
Where the data is sent
When enabled, Sikshya sends the payload to MantraBrain’s usage collection endpoint:
https://usage.mantrabrain.com/index.php?rest_route=/mantrabrain/v1/collect
When data is sent (frequency)
When enabled, Sikshya may send usage data:
- Once weekly (scheduled background sync)
- Shortly after enabling tracking (an immediate sync)
- Fallback sync in wp-admin if the scheduled event did not run (to avoid missing weekly telemetry)
If sending fails, Sikshya will retry later with a backoff delay.
What data is tracked (sent)
Below is the exact type of data included in Sikshya usage tracking.
1) Product + instance identifiers
- Product identifier:
sikshya - Instance ID: a randomly generated UUID saved on your site (used to distinguish one site from another without identifying a person)
- Sent timestamp: when the payload was sent
2) Site information
- Home URL (your site’s homepage URL)
- Site language / locale (e.g.,
en_US)
3) Environment information
- WordPress version
- PHP version
- Whether multisite is enabled (true/false)
4) Plugin information
- Sikshya plugin version
5) Coarse usage signals (counts/status)
- Published courses count
- Published lessons count
- Setup completion status (whether the Sikshya setup wizard was completed)
What we do NOT track
Sikshya usage tracking is intentionally minimal. It does not include:
- Student/learner names
- Student/learner email addresses
- Customer billing/shipping details
- Order/payment data
- Course content or lesson content
- Quiz answers or assignment submissions
- Individual user activity or per-user progress
- IP address
- Browser user-agent
- Any WordPress admin username/password
Notes
- Usage tracking is intended to be anonymous and aggregated.
- Disabling usage tracking stops future sends.
