You can obtain a free API key by signing up at https://insertabot.io/signup **Backend Services Used by Insertabot API:** * Cloudflare Workers AI (for AI processing) * Tavily API (for real-time web search) == Privacy == **Local Data Storage:** Insertabot stores minimal data locally in your WordPress database: * Encrypted API key (option: `insertabot_api_key_encrypted`) * Plugin settings (enabled/disabled state, API base URL) * Optional security logs (option: `insertabot_security_logs`) - anonymized with IP addresses masked **Data Transmission:** When users interact with the chatbot, their messages are sent to the Insertabot API service for processing. The plugin does **not** expose your API key to client browsers (uses short-lived tokens instead). **GDPR Compliance:** The plugin implements WordPress personal data exporters and erasers. Site administrators can export or remove personal data associated with a user via Tools → Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data in WordPress admin. **Security:** * API keys are stored using AES-256-CBC encryption * IP addresses in logs are anonymized (last octet/80 bits zeroed) * No personal data is sent to third parties beyond what is necessary for chatbot functionality ### Support Need help?
