<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on external services to provide spam detection and geolocation features. Below is detailed information about each service:</p>
<h4>SpamBanana API (api.spambanana.com)</h4>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong> Analyzes comments using Machine Learning (Logistic Regression + TF-IDF) to detect spam.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Every time a comment is submitted on your WordPress site (unless the user is logged in and you’ve disabled checking for logged-in users).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* Comment content (text)<br />
* Comment author name<br />
* Comment author email<br />
* Comment author IP address<br />
* Comment author website URL (if provided)<br />
* User agent string</p>
<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> WordPress servers have limited resources. By processing spam detection on our dedicated ML servers, we:<br />
* Reduce load on your WordPress server<br />
* Provide faster spam detection<br />
* Use advanced Machine Learning models that would be too resource-intensive to run locally<br />
* Continuously improve accuracy through centralized learning from millions of comments<br />
* Reduce AI costs for users by sharing infrastructure</p>
<p><strong>Data retention:</strong> Comment data is stored temporarily for analysis and learning. Spam detection results are kept to improve the ML model accuracy over time.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy & Terms:</strong><br />
* Service Terms: https://spambanana.com/terms<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://spambanana.com/privacy<br />
* The service is GDPR compliant<br />
* No personal data is sold or shared with third parties</p>
<h4>IP-API.com (ip-api.com)</h4>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong> Provides geolocation data (country) based on IP addresses for the GeoIP blocking feature.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Only when GeoIP blocking is enabled in settings, and only for new IP addresses not in cache (cached for 7 days).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* Visitor’s IP address only</p>
<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> To identify the country of origin for comments, allowing you to block spam from specific countries if desired.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy & Terms:</strong><br />
* Service website: http://ip-api.com<br />
* Terms of Service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal<br />
* This is a free service with rate limiting (45 requests per minute)</p>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p><strong>User Data Protection:</strong><br />
* All data transmission uses secure HTTPS connections<br />
* Data is only sent when actively processing comments<br />
* Users can disable the plugin at any time to stop data transmission<br />
* GeoIP feature is optional and can be disabled<br />
* No tracking cookies or scripts are added to your site<br />
* GDPR compliant</p>
