== Privacy == |

| 321 |
PostX connects to the following external services. Each one is listed with what |
| 322 |
is sent, when, and why. |
| 323 |
|
| 324 |
= Usage analytics = |
| 325 |
|
| 326 |
PostX sends usage and diagnostic information to WPXPO at |
| 327 |
`inside.wpxpo.com/wp-json/durbin/v1/analytics`. It is sent only from an |
| 328 |
administrator's action, at these points: |
| 329 |
|
| 330 |
* When you click "Accept & Close" on the PostX data-collection notice. |
| 331 |
* When you import a starter site with "Stay updated with exciting features and |
| 332 |
news" checked. |
| 333 |
* In the setup wizard, when you move on from the site-type step, and when you |
| 334 |
finish the wizard with data sharing or updates turned on. |
| 335 |
* When you submit the deactivation survey. Skipping the survey sends nothing. |
| 336 |
|
| 337 |
WPXPO's data-collection policy is at https://www.wpxpo.com/data-collection-policy/, |
| 338 |
its privacy policy at https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ and its terms at |
| 339 |
https://www.wpxpo.com/terms-and-conditions/ |
| 340 |
|
| 341 |
= Country lookup = |
| 342 |
|
| 343 |
To determine the country for the analytics above, PostX makes a request to |
| 344 |
`ipinfo.io/json`, a third-party IP geolocation service operated by IPinfo. The |
| 345 |
request is made only when analytics are sent and no country is cached yet. |
| 346 |
|
| 347 |
* What is sent: nothing from your site is added to the request. Your server's |
| 348 |
public IP address is visible to IPinfo as the origin of the request, which is |
| 349 |
how the service works out the country. |
| 350 |
* What is kept: only the two-letter country code from the response (for example |
| 351 |
`US`). It is stored in your site's database as the `durbin_country_code` |
| 352 |
transient for 180 days, so the lookup happens at most once per 180 days. |
| 353 |
* What is not kept: PostX does not store the IP address or anything else from |
| 354 |
the response, and does not add the IP address to the analytics data. |
| 355 |
* Where it goes: the country code is included in the usage analytics sent to |
| 356 |
WPXPO. |
| 357 |
|
| 358 |
IPinfo is not operated by WPXPO. Their terms of service are at |
| 359 |
https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service and their privacy policy is at |
| 360 |

|
| 364 |
When you open the starter sites, patterns or design templates, or import one, |
| 365 |
PostX requests the list or the template from WPXPO's template service at |
| 366 |
`postxkit.wpxpo.com`, from your server and from the block editor. |
| 367 |
|
| 368 |
What is sent: the PostX version and the ID of the template or site you picked. No other personal data is sent. WPXPO's privacy policy is at |
| 369 |
https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ and its terms at |
| 370 |
https://www.wpxpo.com/terms-and-conditions/ |
| 371 |
|
| 372 |
= Support form = |
| 373 |
|
| 374 |
If you submit the support form in the PostX dashboard, your name, email address, |
| 375 |
subject and message are sent to `wpxpo.com/wp-json/v2/support_mail`. This only |
| 376 |
happens when you submit that form. WPXPO's privacy policy is at |
| 377 |
https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ |
| 378 |
|
| 379 |
= ChatGPT = |
| 380 |
|
| 381 |
The ChatGPT add-on does nothing until you enter your own OpenAI API key in |
| 382 |
PostX > Settings. After that, when you use ChatGPT in the block editor, your |
| 383 |
site's server sends the text you selected or typed, the model you chose and your |
| 384 |
API key to OpenAI at `api.openai.com`. The key stays on the server and is never |
| 385 |
sent to the browser. Nothing is sent until you run a ChatGPT action. OpenAI's terms of use are at https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use and |
| 386 |
its privacy policy at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy |
| 387 |
|
| 388 |
= Google Fonts = |
| 389 |
|
| 390 |
Blocks that use Google Fonts load them from `fonts.googleapis.com` on the front |
| 391 |
end, which exposes your visitors' IP addresses to Google. You can switch this |
| 392 |
off with "Disable All Google Fonts" in PostX > Settings, which serves fonts |
| 393 |
locally instead. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| 394 |
|
| 395 |
= YouTube Gallery block = |
| 396 |
|
| 397 |
The YouTube Gallery block needs your own YouTube Data API key and contacts |
| 398 |
nothing until you enter one. Once it has a key, pages that contain the block load |
| 399 |
their video list from the YouTube Data API at `www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3`, in |
| 400 |
your visitors' browsers on the front end and in yours in the editor. The request |
| 401 |
carries the channel, playlist or search term set in the block, the IDs of the |
| 402 |
videos shown, and your API key. Videos play in an embedded YouTube player from |
| 403 |
`www.youtube.com`. |
| 404 |
Both expose your visitors' IP addresses to Google. The block uses YouTube API |
| 405 |
Services: see the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and |
| 406 |
the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| 407 |
|
| 408 |
= YouTube and Vimeo videos in post blocks = |
| 409 |
|
| 410 |
Blocks displaying a YouTube video thumbnail load the image from |
| 411 |
`img.youtube.com` on the front end, which exposes your visitors' IP addresses to |
| 412 |
Google. This only applies to posts that have a YouTube video attached. When a |
| 413 |
visitor clicks play on such a video, the player is loaded from `www.youtube.com` |
| 414 |
or, for Vimeo videos, `player.vimeo.com`. Vimeo's privacy policy is at |
| 415 |
https://vimeo.com/privacy |
