### Privacy Policy

ChatProjects stores your API keys encrypted in your WordPress database. The plugin
connects directly to AI provider APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Chutes) using 
your own API keys. No data is sent to our servers.

For more information, see our [Privacy Policy](https://chatprojects.com/privacy/).

### Third-Party Services

This plugin connects to external AI services when users interact with chat features.**
No data is sent automatically** – transmission only occurs when users explicitly
take action.

#### Data Transmitted

 * **Chat Messages:** User-entered text is sent to the selected AI provider when
   the user submits a message
 * **Uploaded Files:** File contents are sent to OpenAI when users upload to a project
   with Vector Store enabled
 * **System Instructions:** Project-configured system prompts are included with 
   chat requests

#### When Data Is Sent

 * On chat message submission (user clicks send or presses Enter)
 * On file upload to a project (OpenAI only)
 * On file search/retrieval operations (OpenAI only)

#### API Keys

 * **Site owners supply their own API keys** – this plugin does not provide access
   to any AI service
 * Keys are encrypted using AES-256-CBC and stored locally in the WordPress database
 * Keys are never transmitted to chatprojects.com or any third party

#### Technical Notes

**Streaming via WordPress HTTP API:**
 This plugin uses the WordPress HTTP API (`
wp_remote_post`) for AI provider streaming. For real-time SSE chunk handling, it
leverages the `http_api_curl` action hook to attach a `CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION` callback
only when the WordPress HTTP API selects the cURL transport. This preserves WordPress
compatibility (proxy settings, transport fallback, and security hooks) while still
enabling low-latency streaming.

If cURL is not available, the HTTP API will fall back to other transports and the
request will still complete (though streaming callbacks are only available when 
cURL is the active transport).

**PHP Configuration:**
 SSE streaming requires specific PHP settings (disabled output
buffering, compression off) which are set only within the streaming endpoint functions,
not globally.
