Hey there.
1. Currently it will only collect their email address through the widget. Unless they registered on your site as well, then of course they could have entered it within their profile. You could make that part of the requirement to get updates to new posts.
2. There are no export options currently for this plugin.

Can you let me know how to "make that part of the requirement to get updates to new posts."?
The option within the admin area there is "Auto-subscribe Enabled" so that all members are auto subscribed.
Turn off the widget, make them register to get the newsletter updates.
That way they can also fill out their profiles. You could use something like Formidable Pro or Gravity Forms to create a custom signup form to capture the data for you.
When "all members are auto subscribed", they can not un-subsribe, right? If this is true, this is not compliant to US law. The law requires people should be able to un-subscribe.

hmm....
I see the note as well... So I just tested and see that it is true.
I'm sure this also wouldn't follow European law as well as US law.
I'll ping our developer on this to see if this is something he plans on changing for a coming release.
Take care.
