          In regards to Redux Framework, there was indeed an error in
          our code causing some instances to dial-back even when set to
          opt-out. This was not our intent or desire to "dial-home". It
          was a mistake in coding between JS and PHP.

          <div>A patch has been made and new version of Redux has been
