<p><strong>Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK)</strong></p>
<p>HiveEO uses your own API keys (Gemini, OpenAI, Perplexity). Keys are stored in your WordPress database. AI generation requests are routed through the haiv3.com relay service (see External Services below) which fetches the prompt template and returns it to your server — your API key is then used on your server to call the AI provider directly.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the following external services:</p>
<p><strong>1. Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com)</strong><br />
Used to generate community comments, seed threads, AI product descriptions, and visibility probe responses. Requests are made only when you click a generate button — never automatically. Your Gemini API key is sent directly from your WordPress server to Google. Data sent includes your prompt text (business context, product details, thread content). See Google’s <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. OpenAI API (api.openai.com)</strong><br />
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe ChatGPT responses. Only used if you add an OpenAI API key in Settings. See OpenAI’s <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Perplexity API (api.perplexity.ai)</strong><br />
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe Perplexity responses. Only used if you add a Perplexity API key in Settings. See Perplexity’s <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. Reddit API (reddit.com)</strong><br />
Used in the Threads tab to fetch live trending threads from relevant subreddits. Requests are made only when you click “Refresh live threads” — never automatically. No personal data is sent. Data received includes public post titles, scores, and URLs. See Reddit’s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/user-agreement" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p><strong>5. Hacker News API (hacker-news.firebaseio.com)</strong><br />

<h3>Local Data Storage</h3>
<p><strong>AI Bot Visit Log</strong><br />
The plugin optionally logs visits from known AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.) to your site. This data is stored entirely within your own WordPress database — no data is sent to any external service. Each log entry stores: the bot name, the URL visited, the timestamp, and a 12-character hash of the visitor IP address (derived using your site’s WordPress salt — the original IP is never stored). This log is used only to display AI crawler activity in the Infrastructure panel.</p>
