External Services
This plugin connects to the DeepSeek API (https://api.deepseek.com) to generate article content and comment replies using AI.
- What is sent: The text prompts configured on the settings page (persona description, topic, writing instructions, and the comment text being replied to). The plugin does not send any personal data of your site visitors beyond the comment text itself.
- When it is sent: Each time an article is generated or a comment reply is requested.
- Why: The DeepSeek API is required to produce the AI-generated text that powers the plugin’s core features.
- Data retention: DeepSeek processes the prompts on its servers; please review DeepSeek’s policies below for details on how they handle data.
