Sending Manual Corrections to the Remote Server in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium

In Advanced Database Cleaner Premium, you can help improve the accuracy of our remote relations database by sending your manual corrections anonymously to our server.

This optional feature lets users contribute to the collective intelligence of the plugin while keeping all data completely private and secure.

1. What Is the Remote Relations Database?

The remote relations database is the knowledge base that powers the remote scan feature in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium.

For more information about it read this article.

2. What Are Manual Corrections?

During a scan, Advanced Database Cleaner Premium automatically categorizes each database item based on its detected ownership.

However, you can manually review and modify any of these categorizations - except for those already confirmed as belonging to WordPress core - to ensure that each item is accurately assigned.

When editing an item, you can reassign it to one of the following categories:

  • Plugin – when you know that the item was created by a specific plugin.
  • Theme – when the item clearly belongs to your active or previous theme.
  • WordPress – when it’s related to WordPress core but wasn’t automatically recognized.
  • Orphan – when the item doesn’t belong to any plugin, theme, or WordPress.
  • Don’t assign to any category – to leave the item uncategorized.

After making your changes, you’ll notice a checkbox labeled

“Send this correction anonymously to the plugin server?”.

If you enable this option, your correction will be securely sent to our remote database to help improve detection accuracy for all users.

Please note that only Plugin, Theme, and WordPress categorizations can be shared with our remote server.

Corrections marked as Orphan or Don’t assign to any category remain local to your site and are not transmitted.

3. What Data Is Sent and Why

When you choose to send your manual correction, only a minimal and non-sensitive dataset is transmitted.

Here’s exactly what is sent to our server and why:

Field Description Purpose
license Your plugin license key Used only to verify that your license is valid for sending corrections
website The domain of your WordPress site Used for license activation validation
items_type The type of items being corrected (options, postmeta, usermeta, etc.) Helps classify your correction in the appropriate dataset
manual_corrections Contains the item name and the slug of the plugin or theme it was assigned to Allows our database to learn the correct relationship between this item and its addon

Example of Sent Data

{
  "license": "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX",
  "website": "example.com",
  "items_type": "options",
  "manual_corrections": [
    {
      "item_name": "elementor_version",
      "belongs_to": "elementor"
    },
    {
      "item_name": "woocommerce_currency",
      "belongs_to": "woocommerce"
    }
  ]
}

That’s all - no item values, URLs, post content, or personal data are ever sent.

We only record the item names and their corrected plugin or theme slugs.

This helps refine our database and increase global detection accuracy while keeping your privacy fully intact.

4. GDPR and Privacy

We take privacy and transparency seriously.

All shared corrections are anonymous and linked only to your license verification - never to your identity, content, or site data.

In full compliance with GDPR regulations, you may request the deletion of any submitted corrections and their related data at any time.

To request data removal, simply contact us through the support page on SigmaPlugin.com, and our team will permanently delete your records from our systems.

Conclusion

The manual correction sharing feature in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium transforms every user into a contributor to a global, verified database of WordPress relations.

Through a transparent combination of community consensus, and expert validation, it strengthens the accuracy of database cleanup for all users - while always respecting your privacy.
