Service Disclosure This plugin relies on the Google Gemini API (a third-party service) to function. Service Name: Google Gemini API (via Google AI Studio or Vertex AI) Service URL: https://ai.google.dev/ Terms of Service: https://ai.google.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy How it works: 1. You must provide your own Google API key in the plugin settings. 2. When you click “Generate” or run scheduled generation, the plugin sends your selected topic, keywords, and configuration to Google’s Gemini endpoint. 3. Google processes this data to generate article text and optional featured image data, which is sent back to your WordPress site. 4. No other site data, user data, or traffic data is shared with Google. Data Sent to Google: – Article topic/title – Keywords and category – Word count preferences – Writing style preferences – Image generation prompts (for featured images) Data Received from Google: – Generated article content – Research findings and sources – Suggested titles and headings – Generated images (base64-encoded, saved to the Media Library) Freemius (licensing and upgrades): This plugin uses the Freemius SDK to power the optional in-dashboard account, upgrade, and license features. Freemius does not collect any data unless you explicitly opt in; you can skip the opt-in screen and use the plugin normally. See the Freemius privacy policy at https://freemius.com/privacy/. Other than the Google Gemini API above and the optional Freemius opt-in, no data is sent to any third-party service. Privacy Policy Draft2Publish does not collect, store, or transmit any user data except: 1. The content you explicitly choose to generate (topics, keywords) 2. Your API keys (stored securely in your WordPress database) 3. Basic security/abuse-prevention logs (IP address and user agent) when security logging is enabled in the plugin, used only to detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts.
