Third-Party Services

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.

Third-Party Libraries
-
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. -
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.
