Privacy & Third-Party Service Disclosure AI Copilot (Zywrap) To provide advanced AI functionalities, JS Help Desk integrates with the Zywrap Cloud API (a third-party service). Data Transmission: When an agent actively uses an AI feature (such as “Generate Reply”, “Summarize”, “Extract Details”, or “Translate”), the content of the specific ticket thread and the customer’s message are securely transmitted to the Zywrap API to generate the response. Opt-In Required: The AI Copilot is completely disabled by default. No data is transmitted unless an Administrator explicitly registers for a Zywrap account, inputs their API Key in the settings, and an agent clicks an AI action button. Data Usage: Data sent to the Zywrap API is used strictly for generating the requested AI text in real-time. Please review the Zywrap Privacy Policy for full details on data handling. Spam Protection (CAPTCHA) JS Help Desk can verify that a ticket submission was made by a person. It ships with a self-hosted verification method, and optionally supports four third-party CAPTCHA services. The default makes no external requests. Out of the box the plugin uses its built-in check – a honeypot field, submission timing, and a small proof of work performed in the visitor’s browser. Nothing is loaded from a third party and no data leaves your site. Third-party services are opt-in. Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, Google reCAPTCHA v3 and Google reCAPTCHA v2 are offered as alternatives. One is used only after an administrator selects it and enters the site key and secret key of their own account with that provider. If either key is missing, the plugin falls back to the built-in check rather than blocking submissions. Why the provider’s own domain is used. A CAPTCHA is an anti-abuse service that issues a token at its own edge and validates that token against its own records. The challenge script therefore cannot be served from your site, and the response cannot be verified locally – both requests are required for the feature to function. When a provider is selected, its script is loaded on the ticket form and the visitor’s response is verified server-to-server: Cloudflare Turnstile – challenges.cloudflare.com (Terms, Privacy Policy) hCaptcha – js.hcaptcha.com, api.hcaptcha.com (Terms, Privacy Policy) Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 – www.google.com/recaptcha (Terms, Privacy Policy) What is transmitted. Only the challenge token generated in the visitor’s browser, your secret key, and the visitor’s IP address are sent to the selected provider’s verification endpoint. Ticket content, subjects, names and e-mail addresses are never sent to a CAPTCHA provider. Choosing none of them. Administrators who do not want any third-party request can leave the built-in provider selected, or turn verification off entirely.
