74 74
75 75 The optional AI Assistant sends data to the **AI provider you configure in WordPress's Settings → Connectors** (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). Generation is routed through WordPress 7.0's built-in AI Client, which supplies the credentials stored in Connectors. The plugin never handles an API key itself. With no provider configured in Connectors, no external AI requests are made.

79 79 * **What is sent:** the user's prompt, the conversation history for the active session, and tool-call metadata. The plugin's built-in tools (`search_posts`, `search_pages`, `search_comments`) run WordPress's native keyword search and may include excerpts of the matching posts/pages/comments in tool results, which are then sent back to the provider as part of the agentic loop.

82 82 * **Who provides the service:** whichever provider you configured in Settings → Connectors. Which provider (and endpoint) receives the data depends entirely on that configuration. Review the chosen provider's own terms and privacy policy (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google).

84 84 **URL shortcut favicons**
85 85
86 86 When an authorized user creates a desktop shortcut to an external URL, OpenStation asks that URL for its page HTML and favicon so the shortcut can display the site's icon. The request is made from your WordPress server and sends the requested URL, the server's IP address, an OpenStation user-agent string, and normal HTTP request metadata to the operator of that site. This happens only when a user creates the shortcut. The destination site's terms and privacy policy apply.

88 +**Deactivation feedback**
89 +
90 +When an administrator deactivates OpenStation, a dialog asks one optional question about why. Nothing is sent unless you click **Send and deactivate**; **Skip and deactivate** sends nothing, and both deactivate the plugin.
91 +
92 +* **What is sent:** the reasons you ticked, the optional details you typed, the OpenStation, WordPress and PHP versions, your site language, whether the site is a network, how long OpenStation was installed, whether anyone on the site had turned it on (how many people, and how many days after install the first one did), whether the person deactivating had it on, the number of active plugins, and where the dialog was shown. Nothing that identifies you or your site: no URL, no site id, no email, no user name, no plugin names, and no IP address is stored. Each submission carries a random id used only to ignore an accidental retry.
93 +* **When it is sent:** only when you click Send in the dialog shown on deactivation. There is no background ping.
94 +* **Why it is sent:** to learn what did not work so it can be fixed.
95 +* **Who provides the service:** the request goes from your server to [openstation.blog](https://openstation.blog/), the plugin's own site, operated by Automattic. Review the [Automattic Privacy Policy](https://automattic.com/privacy/). Site owners can turn the dialog off with the `openstation_deactivation_feedback_enabled` filter.

90 99 When an authorized user opens or refreshes parts of OpenStation's Plugins window, OpenStation may request public plugin details, update metadata, and review excerpts from WordPress.org. These requests send plugin slugs, the site's locale, and normal HTTP request metadata to WordPress.org. This information is used only to display and manage plugins.
