== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will this theme work without WPCasa plugin? =

In general, yes. But you get the full power of upTown when you use it for clear, stunning real estate websites.

= Why does the starter preview link to the WPCasa preview? =

The default starter preview for upTown is intentionally minimal. A complete preview with installed and configured property listings is available through the WPCasa plugin preview on WordPress.org.

= Is this theme GDPR-compliant? =

Yes, upTown is fully GDPR-compliant. It does not load anything from a third-party server, such as Google Fonts or other data. Please keep in mind that this only applies to the theme. If you use additional plugins or display your listings on a Google Map, please make sure to take care of the GDPR your self.
