<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the following external services:</p>
<p><strong>Ollama (Required)</strong><br />
This plugin requires a running Ollama instance to generate embeddings and chat responses using the Llama 3.2 model.</p>
<ul>
<li>Ollama website: <a href="https://ollama.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ollama.com/</a></li>

<li>Ollama Terms of Service: <a href="https://ollama.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ollama.com/terms</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Ollama runs locally on your server or a server you control. No data is sent to third-party cloud services unless you configure it to connect to a remote Ollama instance.</p>
<p><strong>Elasticsearch (Required)</strong><br />
This plugin requires an Elasticsearch instance to store vector embeddings and perform semantic search.</p>
<ul>
<li>Elasticsearch website: <a href="https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/</a></li>
<li>Elastic Privacy Policy: <a href="https://www.elastic.co/legal/privacy-statement" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.elastic.co/legal/privacy-statement</a></li>

</ul>
<p>Elasticsearch can run locally on your server. If using Elastic Cloud, your indexed content will be stored on Elastic’s servers according to their privacy policy.</p>
<p><strong>Data Transmitted</strong><br />
* To Ollama: Post content for embedding generation, user questions for response generation<br />
* To Elasticsearch: Post content, titles, excerpts, URLs, and vector embeddings</p>
