| 313 | +**Usage Analytics:** PostX sends usage and diagnostic data to WPXPO at inside.wpxpo.com/wp-json/durbin/v1/analytics after specific administrator actions, such as accepting data collection, importing starter sites with updates enabled, completing setup with sharing enabled, or submitting the deactivation survey. Skipping the survey sends nothing.

| 314 | + | |
| 315 | +**Country Lookup:** When analytics are sent and no country is cached, PostX requests ipinfo.io/json. IPinfo can see the server’s public IP, but PostX stores only the two-letter country code for 180 days. The IP is not stored or sent to WPXPO. See [**IPinfo Terms**](https://ipinfo.io/terms-of-service) and [**Privacy Policy**](https://ipinfo.io/privacy-policy). | |

| 317 | +**Templates:** Starter sites and templates are loaded from postxkit.wpxpo.com. Only the PostX version and selected template/site ID are sent. | |
| 318 | + | |
| 319 | +**Support:** The support form sends your name, email, subject, and message to WPXPO. | |
| 320 | + | |
| 321 | +**ChatGPT:** After adding your API key, selected text, model, and API key are sent to OpenAI only when you run a ChatGPT action. See [**OpenAI Terms**](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) and [**Privacy Policy**](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy). | |
