⚠️ Limitations & Data Privacy Concerns

Read Before Using!

As of right now, WrangleBot is still in development. This means that there are some limitations to what WrangleBot can do.

These limitations are as follows:

• WrangleBot Cloud Sync does not yet utilize end-to-end encryption to protect your data, but uses TLS-Encryption to communicate and send data between you and the cloud sync servers. This means that your data is encrypted while it is in transit, but not while it is stored on the cloud sync servers.

We are committed to addressing these limitations and implementing new features as soon as possible. We are also committed to protecting your data and privacy. We will never sell your data to third parties, and we will never use your data for any other purpose than to provide you with the best possible experience with WrangleBot. Please review our data privacy policy here for more information.

📜 License

WrangleBot is released under the GPL-3.0 License. For more information, please view the license. You must publish all changes and modifications to the source code under the same license. We encourage you to contribute to the project and make it better for everyone.

If you want to use the Cloud Syncing features and your company has more than $500,000 in revenue, you may need to register with us to acquire an enterprise license. Additionally, if you want to develop the engine or interface with proprietary features without re-releasing as LGPL, you will need to register for a commercial license. However, you are free to use the plugin system to code workflows, and it is unlikely that you will need to make drastic changes to the engine unless you require your own cloud database system or machine learning integrations.
