External services
This plugin connects to the Review Lab AI API to generate AI-powered summaries of your product reviews. Connecting to this third-party service is required for the plugin to function — without it, reviews cannot be analysed and summaries cannot be displayed.
What data is sent, and when:
When a product review is approved, when you click Sync All Products Now, and during the scheduled 6-hour background sync, the plugin sends the following review data to the Review Lab AI API (https://www.reviewlabai.com/api):
- the reviewer’s public display name
- the star rating
- the review text
- the review submission date
- the WooCommerce product ID and product name the review belongs to
No order data, customer email or address, and no payment information is ever sent.
The embedded widget script (widget.js) is also loaded from the Review Lab AI API on product pages where the shortcode is used, in order to render the summary.

Privacy Policy
Review Lab AI for WooCommerce sends product review data to the Review Lab AI API so it can be analysed and summarised. See the External services section above for the exact data sent and the moments it is sent.
What leaves your site: the reviewer’s public display name, the star rating, the review text, the review submission date, and the WooCommerce product ID and name. This is review content that is already shown publicly on your product pages.
What never leaves your site: order data, customer email addresses, billing or shipping addresses, and payment information are never transmitted.
Storage and control: review data is stored by Review Lab AI to generate summaries. If you deactivate the plugin, no new data is sent; if you delete (uninstall) it, its stored settings are removed from your site. To request deletion of data already held by Review Lab AI, contact the service directly.
The data is processed by Review Lab AI under their published policies:
- Terms of Service: https://www.reviewlabai.com/legal/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://www.reviewlabai.com/legal/privacy
If your store serves visitors in regions with privacy regulations (for example the EU/GDPR), you should note in your own site privacy policy that approved product reviews are shared with Review Lab AI for analysis.
