<h4>Third-Party Service Disclosure</h4>
<p>This plugin relies on the <strong>TimeSaverBot SaaS platform</strong> hosted at <code>app.timesaverbot.com</code>. The following external connections are made:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Provisioning API</strong> (<code>POST /Provision/WordPressInstall</code>) — Called once during the setup wizard to create your workspace. Sends: site URL, installation ID, WordPress version, plugin version, admin email.</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard Summary API</strong> (<code>GET /Provision/WordPressDashboardSummary</code>) — Called when loading the Dashboard page. Returns aggregated usage metrics.</li>
<li><strong>Operation Token API</strong> (<code>POST /Auth/CreateOperationToken</code>) — Called when you navigate to Chat, Leads, or Knowledge Base. Issues a short-lived authentication token.</li>
<li><strong>Iframe embeds</strong> — Bot Settings and Widget Settings pages load the TimeSaverBot configuration UI inside an iframe from <code>app.timesaverbot.com</code>.</li>
<li><strong>Silent login redirects</strong> — Chat, Leads, and Knowledge Base menu items redirect to <code>app.timesaverbot.com</code> with automatic authentication.</li>
<li><strong>Chat widget script</strong> (<code>embed.js</code>) — Loaded on every frontend page after wizard completion. The script is served from <code>widget.timesaverbot.com</code> and renders the chat widget inside an iframe. It sends your tenant ID and channel ID as data attributes.</li>
</ol>
<p>All server-to-server API calls are signed with HMAC-SHA256 using a per-installation secret. No data is sent to any other third-party service.</p>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>TimeSaverBot connects to the TimeSaverBot SaaS platform at <code>app.timesaverbot.com</code>. This section documents all data transmitted.</p>
<h4>Data sent during provisioning (one-time, on wizard completion)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Normalized site hostname (e.g. <code>example.com</code>)</li>
<li>Installation UUID (locally generated, not tied to any personal data)</li>
<li>Raw site URL, WordPress version, plugin version (diagnostic metadata)</li>
<li>Admin email address (used to create a technical user for your workspace)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data sent during normal operation</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dashboard</strong>: HMAC-signed GET request with installation ID header. Returns aggregate metrics only.</li>
<li><strong>Navigation (Chat/Leads/Knowledge Base)</strong>: HMAC-signed POST request with installation ID and requested scope. Returns a one-time authentication token.</li>
<li><strong>Settings (Bot/Widget)</strong>: After initial authentication, the iframe communicates directly between the browser and TimeSaverBot. The WordPress plugin does not relay this traffic.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data stored locally</h4>
<p>Installation ID, HMAC secret, tenant ID, connector channel ID, process ID, wizard state. All stored in the <code>wp_options</code> table under the <code>tsvbot_wp_settings</code> key.</p>
