@Krivo I have an existing “I believe I have found a bug in Glide” support ticket active and have already updated it with this discovery of what the bug truly is - should I submit an entirely separate bug report? ---

If your app was developed a while ago, you may have been temporarily grandfathered in and allowed to collect real addresses without paying for a Pro subscription. If you’re paying for Pro, this is definitely a bug. If you’re not paying for Pro, that may fix your tab visibility/address collection issues. ---

@a.manda i would think that existing bug report is right way to go ---

@a.manda is this a free app? Recording real user emails is a Pro feature, please upgrade if you need this functionality. ---

@david it is a free app, however I made it exactly a year ago and in your own words this switch was handled ethically and this bug should not be occurring: > [@male\_detective Whoa! "Collect real user email..." is now a Pro feature](https://community.glideapps.com/t/whoa-collect-real-user-email-is-now-a-pro-feature/21804/2): > > Note: all existing apps are grandfathered, meaning they retain the choice between Virtual and Real addresses. Currently waiting for your engineering team to come through with a fix 🙏🏻 cc: @MegannLock ---

Hey @david, I am building an app in which we sell products on third party marketplaces like OfferUp and Ebay. We want to incorporate the purchase of an item with a verification process so that our users can user our interactive app. If I wanted to relate a purchase to the email provided to us by our consumer, how could I ensure that their email will properly relate itself to the item if their email is encrypted? I would like to keep it lean and use the free app until the business scales. ---
