Set your rules for targeting and updating old posts, and keep your content fresh on autopilot with AI. FreshenUp takes care of everything for you, from intelligently selecting stale posts to delivering fresh, relevant content right to your WordPress dashboard. Just review and approve. See your old content side-by-side with the new version. All changes are clearly highlighted so you can quickly compare, edit, and publish with full control. ### Third-Party Services 1. Freshenup uses an external API service to update your content. Here’s what you need to know: Our plugin connects to https://freshenup.io to process and refresh your posts. When you use the FreshenUp feature, your post content is sent to our servers for processing. We do not store your content on our servers beyond the time needed to update your articles. For more information about how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy at https://freshenup.io/privacy-policy/ By using this plugin, you agree to our Terms of Service, available at https://freshenup. io/terms-and-conditions/ 2. OpenAI API While the OpenAI post content processing happens mostly on our server, we have a brief connection inside the plugin to check if your API key is valid. OpenAI API website: https://openai.com/api/ OpenAI Terms of Service: https://openai. com/policies/terms-of-use OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy- policy 3. Google Gemini API While the Google Gemini post content processing happens mostly on our server, we have a brief connection inside the plugin to check if your API key is valid. Google Gemini API website: https://ai.google.dev/ Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms Google Privacy Policy: https://policies. google.com/privacy 4. Anthropic API While the Anthropic post content processing happens mostly on our server, we have a brief connection inside the plugin to check if your API key is valid. Anthropic API website: https://www.anthropic.com/api Anthropic Terms of Service: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms Anthropic Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your data. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at support@freshenup.io. ### Third-Party Libraries 1. FreshenUp uses the Action Scheduler library (https://actionscheduler.org/) to manage background processing tasks. Action Scheduler is a robust scheduling library for WordPress, originally developed by the WooCommerce team. It runs within your WordPress site and does not send data to external services. The library is included with our plugin and does not require separate installation. 2. FreshenUp also uses Freemius (https://freemius.com) to manage our premium plans, licensing, and plugin updates. Freemius collects and processes certain data as described in their Privacy Policy. This includes basic site data (WordPress version, PHP version, etc.) and user data (email, name) for customers who purchase premium plans. Freemius is only active if you opt in to usage tracking or purchase a premium plan. You can opt out of non-essential data collection at any time through the plugin settings. ## FAQ ### Do I need an OpenAI API key to use FreshenUp?
