      \n

      Privacy<\/h3>\n\n

      LucidPen does not include tracking, telemetry, or advertising code, and does not send data to EnigTech\u2019s own servers unless you explicitly choose to use optional hosted services.<\/p>\n\n

      When using the AI Assistants (Prayer, Blog Coach, Reflection Journal), the text you write is securely transmitted to an AI text-generation service<\/strong> to generate contextual writing suggestions. The plugin supports two possible configurations:<\/p>\n\n

        \n

      1. User-provided API Key (Default Behavior)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • Requests are sent directly from your WordPress site to the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service<\/strong> or the OpenAI API<\/strong> endpoint you specify.<\/li>\n
        • The text you write (your prompts and assistant replies) is transmitted over HTTPS.<\/li>\n
        • No personal identifiers (such as your name, email, or user ID) are sent unless you include them in your content.<\/li>\n
        • The AI-generated response is returned to your WordPress site and encrypted locally<\/strong> before saving.<\/li>\n
        • The encryption key is stored securely in your WordPress user profile and never leaves your site.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

        • Optional Hosted Model (if enabled)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • If you enable EnigTech\u2019s optional hosted AI models, API requests are routed through EnigTech\u2019s secure proxy endpoint to simplify setup.<\/li>\n
          • The proxy only relays text and model parameters; it does not store, log, or analyze any user data.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

            All generated content is stored locally as a post on your WordPress site, under your full control.\nYou can edit or delete your content at any time. LucidPen never shares, republishes, or analyzes user data.<\/p>\n\n

            External Services<\/h3>\n\n

            LucidPen connects to the following external APIs to provide AI-assisted writing functionality:<\/p>\n\n

            1. Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Purpose:<\/strong> Generates AI-assisted writing suggestions and responses.<\/li>\n
            • Data Sent:<\/strong> Text entered by the user in the left panel (Prayer Guide or AI Interviewer) and AI-generated intermediate content.\nLucidPen does not<\/em> send any text entered in the right panel<\/strong> (post title or main post content).<\/li>\n
            • When:<\/strong> Only when the user clicks \"Submit Your Response\" or \"Let AI (Re-)Compose.\"<\/li>\n
            • Transmission:<\/strong> Secure HTTPS requests sent directly from your WordPress site.<\/li>\n
            • Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/privacy.microsoft.com\/en-us\/privacystatement<\/li>\n
            • Service Terms:<\/strong> https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/support\/legal\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              2. OpenAI API (if configured by the user)<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Purpose:<\/strong> Alternative AI text-generation endpoint.<\/li>\n
              • Data Sent:<\/strong> Same as above.<\/li>\n
              • When:<\/strong> Same as above.<\/li>\n

                3. EnigTech LLC (optional hosted service)<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Purpose:<\/strong> Provides a hosted proxy endpoint for users who prefer not to configure their own API keys.<\/li>\n
                • Data Sent:<\/strong> Same as above.<\/li>\n
                • When:<\/strong> Same as above.<\/li>\n
                • Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/lucidpen.enigtech.com\/privacy<\/li>\n
                • Terms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/lucidpen.enigtech.com\/terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  LucidPen discloses all external service connections transparently and ensures that users retain full control over their data and content.<\/p>\n\n

                  Data Retention<\/h3>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Generated drafts are saved locally as WordPress posts.<\/li>\n
                  • Encryption keys remain stored in each user\u2019s profile meta.<\/li>\n
                  • No user data, credentials, or API keys are ever transmitted to EnigTech or any analytics service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    Add-ons and Extensions<\/h3>\n\n

                    LucidPen supports modular assistants and is built for extensibility.<\/p>\n\n

                    Planned add-ons include:\n- Custom assistant builder (visual interface)\n- Hosted AI key integration (no API setup required)\n- Assistant packs: travel logs, seasonal reflection, goal planning<\/p>\n\n

                      Do I need an OpenAI or Azure account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Only if you want to use AI features. LucidPen allows you to use your own API key for OpenAI or Azure OpenAI. A hosted option (no setup required) is coming soon.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I use this for professional writing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      LucidPen is focused on personal and spiritual use. LucidPen Business (coming soon) will target professional use cases such as reviews, proposals, and promotions.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Is my writing sent externally or stored elsewhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      No. Your drafts remain on your WordPress site. If you use your own API key, requests go directly to OpenAI or Azure OpenAI.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                      Can I create my own assistants?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                      Soon! A visual assistant template builder is planned for a future release.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
