<h4>External Services</h4>
This plugin relies on external services for features that require server-side processing which cannot be performed locally within WordPress.
ContentTrace API (api.contenttrace.app)
<ul>
<li>Purpose: Web scanning, similarity analysis, and takedown report generation.</li>
<li>Why external: These features require large-scale web crawling, CPU-intensive content comparison algorithms, and structured legal document generation that cannot run within a WordPress installation.</li>
<li>Data sent: Your site domain (for identification), post content excerpts (for similarity comparison), and URLs (for analysis). Content is processed in memory and immediately discarded.</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://contenttrace.app/privacy.html" rel="nofollow ugc">https://contenttrace.app/privacy.html</a></li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://contenttrace.app/terms.html" rel="nofollow ugc">https://contenttrace.app/terms.html</a></li>
</ul>
Archive.org Wayback Machine (web.archive.org)
<ul>
<li>Purpose: Creating timestamped snapshots of your published posts as proof of original authorship.</li>
<li>Why external: Archive.org provides independently verifiable, timestamped archives that serve as legal evidence of publication date. This cannot be replicated locally.</li>
<li>Data sent: The public URL of your post.</li>
<li>Terms of Use: <a href="https://archive.org/about/terms.php" rel="nofollow ugc">https://archive.org/about/terms.php</a></li>
</ul>
Google Search (via browser)
<ul>
<li>Purpose: One-click manual search for your content fingerprints or titles.</li>
<li>Data sent: Opens a search in the user’s own browser. No server-side requests are made by the plugin.</li>
</ul>

This plugin connects to the PixGuard service to analyze images for copyright risk. When you scan an image, its URL or file is sent to PixGuard’s servers for processing. No images are stored after analysis.
This connection is required for the plugin to function. A free PixGuard account with an API key is needed.
