== External Services ==

This plugin connects to the OpenAI API to perform automated comment moderation and AI-powered analysis. It uses OpenAI's **GPT-4** and **Moderation API** to classify and filter comments for inappropriate content, spam, or harmful language.

=== What data is sent and when? ===

- When a user triggers AI moderation (e.g., clicking the **Run AI** button), the comment content is sent to OpenAI's API for processing.
- Depending on the moderation method, the request may include:
  - The comment text being analyzed.
  - AI model settings such as `gpt-4-turbo` or `Moderation API`.
  - A predefined system prompt (if applicable).
- OpenAI processes the request and returns a moderation decision, including a **confidence score and category classification**.

=== Why is this data sent? ===

The data is sent to OpenAI for **automated content moderation**. OpenAI s AI models classify comments into categories such as:
- **Spam**
- **Hate Speech**
- **Inappropriate Language**
- **Nonsensical Content**
- **Safe/Allowed Content**

The plugin does not store or share this data beyond the **API request** itself.

=== Where is this data sent? ===

This plugin makes **HTTP requests** to the following OpenAI API endpoints:

- `https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions`  
  (Used in `includes/chatgpt.php:43` and `includes/moderation.php:104` to process comment content via ChatGPT)
  
- `https://api.openai.com/v1/moderations`  
  (Used in `includes/moderation.php:47` to analyze comment text with OpenAI's Moderation API)

All requests are **sent securely using HTTPS**, and the OpenAI API key is required for authentication.

=== Under what conditions is the data sent? ===

- The plugin **only sends data when a user explicitly triggers AI moderation**.
- The site administrator **must provide an OpenAI API key** for the service to function.
- The OpenAI API key is stored securely in the WordPress database and is **never shared or logged** by the plugin.
