plotly.js is the MIT licenced[1] charting library released by Plotly, which you can use to create plots without shipping data to anyone else.
It can be used from R (IIRC), since the corresponding Plotly library just generates a declarative JSON plot description, which plotly.js can use.

That is also an alternative. Can plot directly to plotly from R too :-)
In my case, I can't send sensitive data around - it might even be illegal, and did not want to shell out a large sum of money for my own personal instance, but for non sensitive stuff or when it's worth the money it seems to be the bees knees!
