Privacy
Flex Redirects stores redirect rules and optional 404 paths in your WordPress database.
When Log redirect hits is enabled (on by default), it also stores per-hit visitor data: IP address, HTTP referrer, user agent, and WordPress user ID if the visitor is logged in. Only administrators can view this log. Disable the setting if you do not need visitor-level history; aggregate Hits counters still update.
The plugin does not send data to external servers and does not load third-party scripts.
