Related: Some time ago I remember reading that Plotly sent the data back to plotly’s servers. Is that old news / is there fully-local plotting now?

This is definitely out of date! As of version 4.0, released two years ago, Plotly is "offline/local by default". Check out our docs: https://plotly.com/python/is-plotly-free/#can-i-use-plotly-f...

oh that's fantastic. I saw a plotly demo many years ago when you sponsored my local PUG, and while it looked cool, I never gave it a chance because I assumed it was just a web service.

Many years ago, indeed it was, but now you can use it and rest easy that your data isn't transiting through our servers unless you install the chart_studio module as well.

I fell victim to this a couple of years back! Sometime later I discovered I'd inadvertently published a public dashboard that I really shouldn't have.

Ouch. That definitely doesn't happen any more since v4 came out two years ago.
