I came here to say this. I find the following to be quite misleading:

Bandwidth Saver respects your privacy and your visitors’ privacy:

    Does not track visitors
    Does not use cookies
    Does not collect analytics
    Does not phone home

Because all that tracking and data collection will be done by Cloudflare (a company subject to the CLOUD act) instead.

Noted. I agree the current wording is not clear enough about what Cloudflare logs. I am going to rewrite that section so it is more explicit.

I just want to say that I really appreciate your willingness to take feedback on this issue. There's little to no accountability when products are misleading or even outright hostile on privacy issues so taking the time to address this and make things clear to users says a lot about the kind of person you are.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I went ahead and updated the readme and the plugin text so the privacy section is clearer about what Cloudflare logs and what the plugin itself does or does not do. I want people to understand exactly what they’re opting into, so this feedback really helped.

You could also add this to the section "Who This Is NOT For":

Sites that do not want to disclose their visitor data to the US company Cloudflare.
