<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services as part of its core monitoring functionality. Below is a description of each service, what data is sent, and when.</p>
<h4>Monitored Websites</h4>
<p>LukStack Uptime Monitor sends HTTP requests to the website URLs you add for monitoring. This is the core functionality of the plugin and is required to check uptime and response times. An SSL connection on port 443 is also made to check the SSL certificate expiration date for HTTPS sites (Pro). These requests are sent automatically via WordPress Cron and when you manually click “Check now”. The data sent is a standard HTTP GET request with a custom user agent header. No personal data is transmitted.</p>
<h4>Freemius</h4>
<p>This plugin uses Freemius SDK for license management, usage tracking (opt-in only), and the upgrade flow. When a user opts in, anonymized data such as the site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and plugin version may be sent to Freemius servers. Users can opt out at any time.</p>
<p>This service is provided by Freemius, Inc.<br />

The data sent includes the website URL, its status, response time, and a timestamp. No personal data is transmitted.</p>
