| 309 | + | |
| 310 | +PostX connects to the following external services. Each one is listed with what | |
| 311 | +is sent, when, and why. | |
| 312 | + | |
| 313 | += Usage analytics = | |
| 314 | + | |
| 315 | +PostX sends usage and diagnostic information to WPXPO at | |
| 316 | +`inside.wpxpo.com/wp-json/durbin/v1/analytics`. It is sent only from an | |
| 317 | +administrator's action, at these points: | |
| 318 | + | |
| 319 | +* When you click "Accept & Close" on the PostX data-collection notice. | |
| 320 | +* When you import a starter site with "Stay updated with exciting features and | |
| 321 | + news" checked. | |
| 322 | +* In the setup wizard, when you move on from the site-type step, and when you | |
| 323 | + finish the wizard with data sharing or updates turned on. | |
| 324 | +* When you submit the deactivation survey. Skipping the survey sends nothing. | |
| 325 | + | |
| 326 | +WPXPO's data-collection policy is at https://www.wpxpo.com/data-collection-policy/, | |
| 327 | +its privacy policy at https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ and its terms at | |
| 328 | +https://www.wpxpo.com/terms-and-conditions/ | |
| 329 | + | |
| 330 | += Country lookup = | |
| 331 | + | |
| 332 | +To determine the country for the analytics above, PostX makes a request to | |
| 333 | +`ipinfo.io/json`, a third-party IP geolocation service operated by IPinfo. The | |
| 334 | +request is made only when analytics are sent and no country is cached yet. | |
| 335 | + | |
| 336 | +* What is sent: nothing from your site is added to the request. Your server's | |
| 337 | + public IP address is visible to IPinfo as the origin of the request, which is | |
| 338 | + how the service works out the country. | |
| 339 | +* What is kept: only the two-letter country code from the response (for example | |
| 340 | + `US`). It is stored in your site's database as the `durbin_country_code` | |
| 341 | + transient for 180 days, so the lookup happens at most once per 180 days. | |
| 342 | +* What is not kept: PostX does not store the IP address or anything else from | |
| 343 | + the response, and does not add the IP address to the analytics data. | |
| 344 | +* Where it goes: the country code is included in the usage analytics sent to | |
| 345 | + WPXPO. | |
| 346 | + | |
| 347 | +IPinfo is not operated by WPXPO. Their terms of service are at | |
| 348 | +https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service and their privacy policy is at | |
| 349 | +https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy | |
| 350 | + | |
| 351 | += Starter sites and templates = | |
| 352 | + | |
| 353 | +When you open the starter sites, patterns or design templates, or import one, | |
| 354 | +PostX requests the list or the template from WPXPO's template service at | |
| 355 | +`postxkit.wpxpo.com`, from your server and from the block editor. | |
| 356 | + | |
| 357 | +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 | |
| 358 | +https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ and its terms at | |
| 359 | +https://www.wpxpo.com/terms-and-conditions/ | |
| 360 | + | |
| 361 | += Support form = | |
| 362 | + | |
| 363 | +If you submit the support form in the PostX dashboard, your name, email address, | |
| 364 | +subject and message are sent to `wpxpo.com/wp-json/v2/support_mail`. This only | |
| 365 | +happens when you submit that form. WPXPO's privacy policy is at | |
| 366 | +https://www.wpxpo.com/privacy-policy/ | |
| 367 | + | |
| 368 | += ChatGPT = | |
| 369 | + | |
| 370 | +The ChatGPT add-on does nothing until you enter your own OpenAI API key in | |
| 371 | +PostX > Settings. After that, when you use ChatGPT in the block editor, your | |
| 372 | +site's server sends the text you selected or typed, the model you chose and your | |
| 373 | +API key to OpenAI at `api.openai.com`. The key stays on the server and is never | |
| 374 | +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 | |
| 375 | +its privacy policy at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy | |
| 376 | + | |
| 377 | += Google Fonts = | |
| 378 | + | |
| 379 | +Blocks that use Google Fonts load them from `fonts.googleapis.com` on the front | |
| 380 | +end, which exposes your visitors' IP addresses to Google. You can switch this | |
| 381 | +off with "Disable All Google Fonts" in PostX > Settings, which serves fonts | |
| 382 | +locally instead. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy | |
| 383 | + | |
| 384 | += YouTube Gallery block = | |
| 385 | + | |
| 386 | +The YouTube Gallery block needs your own YouTube Data API key and contacts | |
| 387 | +nothing until you enter one. Once it has a key, pages that contain the block load | |
| 388 | +their video list from the YouTube Data API at `www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3`, in | |
| 389 | +your visitors' browsers on the front end and in yours in the editor. The request | |
| 390 | +carries the channel, playlist or search term set in the block, the IDs of the | |
| 391 | +videos shown, and your API key. Videos play in an embedded YouTube player from | |
| 392 | +`www.youtube.com`. | |
| 393 | +Both expose your visitors' IP addresses to Google. The block uses YouTube API | |
| 394 | +Services: see the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and | |
| 395 | +the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy | |
| 396 | + | |
| 397 | += YouTube and Vimeo videos in post blocks = | |
| 398 | + | |
| 399 | +Blocks displaying a YouTube video thumbnail load the image from | |
| 400 | +`img.youtube.com` on the front end, which exposes your visitors' IP addresses to | |
| 401 | +Google. This only applies to posts that have a YouTube video attached. When a | |
| 402 | +visitor clicks play on such a video, the player is loaded from `www.youtube.com` | |
| 403 | +or, for Vimeo videos, `player.vimeo.com`. Vimeo's privacy policy is at | |
