Privacy Policy

What we collect, what we don’t, and how to control your data.

Last updated: 8 May 2026

In Plain English

We collect the minimum needed to deliver your license and updates. Payments and license records are handled by Freemius Inc., our Merchant of Record — they hold your billing details under their own privacy policy. We see your email address, the license Freemius has issued you, the domain(s) you activate on, and basic server logs (IP + timestamp) for abuse prevention. We never see the article content the Plugin generates on your site — that traffic goes directly between your WordPress install and OpenAI. We don’t sell your data. We don’t run analytics that identify you. You can request export or deletion anytime.

1. Who we are

“We” / “us” / “our” refers to AI Autoblogger LLC, the publisher of MrNiche Autoblogger Pro and operator of wpaiautoblogger.com (the “Site”). For privacy-related questions or requests, email support@wpaiautoblogger.com.

2. Data we collect

a) When you buy a license

  • Email address — to deliver your license key and account-related notices.
  • Billing details (name, billing address if required for tax, payment method) — collected and stored by Freemius Inc. as the Merchant of Record, under their privacy policy. We do not store, see, or process your full payment instrument. We can see order metadata Freemius shares back with us (your email, plan, country for tax purposes, last 4 digits of the card).
  • License + activation history — which plan you’re on, license key (last 4 chars used to look up the full record), activated domains, install version. Stored on Freemius’s servers and synced to our admin tooling.

b) When the Plugin is installed and activated

  • License key + domain + WordPress install fingerprint — sent to Freemius when you activate, deactivate, or verify a license. Used by Freemius to enforce activation limits and route updates. Tied to your purchase record on their side.
  • IP address + timestamp — captured during license-API calls to Freemius and in standard server request logs on our website. Used for rate-limiting (preventing abuse) and security investigations. Not used to profile you.
  • Plugin version + WordPress version — sent during update-check calls so the correct update payload is delivered and incompatible builds aren’t pushed.
  • Anonymous environment data (PHP version, MySQL version, active language) — Freemius collects this by default to help us prioritise compatibility. You can disable it during the connect dialog by choosing “Skip” instead of “Allow & Continue”.

c) When you visit the Site

  • Standard server logs — IP, user agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamp. Retained ~30 days for security and traffic analysis.
  • Functional cookies set by WordPress — session identifier, login state. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
  • Freemius checkout cookies set on the embedded or redirected Freemius checkout flow — necessary for completing a purchase. Governed by Freemius’s privacy policy.
  • Affiliate-tracking cookie, if you arrive via an affiliate referral link. Identifies the referring affiliate so we can credit them for any subsequent purchase. 30-day duration.

3. What we explicitly DO NOT collect

  • The articles, prompts, or content the Plugin generates on your site. That data flows directly from your WordPress install to OpenAI (and any image provider you’ve configured). We never see it. We have no access to it. We could not produce it if asked or subpoenaed.
  • Your OpenAI API key. Stored only in your own WordPress database; never transmitted to us.
  • Visitor analytics from your WordPress site. The Plugin does not phone home about your traffic, your readers, or your published posts.
  • Behavioural advertising data. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no tracking SDKs on the Site.

4. The free version (MrNiche Autoblogger AI)

The free version of the Plugin distributed via WordPress.org under the name MrNiche Autoblogger AI makes outbound API calls only to OpenAI. It does not contact wpaiautoblogger.com at all — no licensing system, no telemetry, no usage analytics, no update checks (WordPress.org handles updates the standard way). If you only ever use the free version, we have no record of your existence.

5. How we use your data

  • Fulfill your order — issue the license key, send the receipt and download link, validate activations, deliver Plugin updates.
  • Provide support — respond to your emails, look up your order if you have a question.
  • Bill you — through Freemius, process the trial activation, the initial license charge that follows, and (if you opt in) annual renewals. The Unlimited plan has no renewal billing.
  • Prevent abuse — rate-limit license-server requests, investigate suspicious activation patterns, enforce the no-key-sharing rule.
  • Improve the product — aggregate, non-identifying counts of which Plugin versions are in active use so we can plan deprecations.
  • Send transactional emails only — order confirmations, license-delivery emails, renewal-due notices, security or terms-change notices. We do not send marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.

6. Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR)

  • Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — for processing your purchase, license issuance, and updates.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for security logging, abuse prevention, and basic version-counting. Our interest is operating a functional business; the impact on you is minimal because we do not profile or share.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — for tax records and compliance with payment-processor requirements (e.g. retaining order records for 7 years).
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — only if you opt in to a future marketing list. None active today.

7. Third parties we share data with

We use a small number of vetted third-party processors. Each receives only the minimum data needed for its specific function:

  • Freemius Inc. — Merchant of Record, payment processor, and license issuer. Receives your name, email, billing address, payment instrument (card or PayPal), license activation events, and anonymous environment data from your WordPress install. Subject to Freemius’s privacy policy and terms. They in turn use payment sub-processors (Stripe and PayPal) under their own data-processing agreements.
  • Email-sending provider (currently configured via WP Mail SMTP, transit varies by setup) — receives the contents of any transactional email we send you directly. Note: the bulk of customer-facing transactional emails (receipts, license delivery, trial reminders) are sent by Freemius rather than us.
  • Hosting provider — operates the servers that store the data described above. Bound by data-processing terms.
  • AffiliateWP — runs our affiliate program. If you are an affiliate, your account details (name, email, payout method) are stored in our WordPress install. Visitor referral data is anonymous (cookie ID + affiliate ID, no PII).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to anyone, ever.

8. International data transfers

Some of our processors (notably Freemius and its payment sub-processors, and our hosting provider) operate servers in the United States. Where personal data of EU/UK residents is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and equivalent UK addendum where applicable. The same data-minimisation principles apply regardless of where the data is physically stored.

9. How long we keep data

  • Order records and license data — primarily stored on Freemius’s servers under their retention schedule. Freemius retains transactional records for the period required by their tax and accounting obligations (typically 7+ years). On our side we keep a synced copy of license metadata while the license is active.
  • Server access logs — ~30 days, then rotated.
  • Email correspondence — retained while the support relationship is active, then archived for up to 3 years.
  • Affiliate accounts — kept while the affiliate is active, plus 7 years after the last commission payout (tax requirement).

10. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Rectify — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erase — ask us to delete your data, subject to legal retention obligations (we cannot delete tax-mandated records before the legal window expires, but we can pseudonymise them on request).
  • Port — ask for your data in a machine-readable format you can take elsewhere.
  • Object — to processing based on legitimate interests, where you have grounds related to your situation.
  • Withdraw consent — for any processing where consent is the legal basis, at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority (in the EU/UK) if you believe we’ve mishandled your data.

Email support@wpaiautoblogger.com with the subject line “Privacy Request” to exercise any of these rights. We respond within 30 days.

11. Cookies

We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function (login session, CSRF tokens) plus the affiliate-attribution cookie noted in Section 2(c). Freemius’s checkout flow may set its own cookies on the checkout subdomain — necessary for completing a purchase, governed by their privacy policy. Strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent under EU/UK ePrivacy rules. We do not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we ever add optional analytics, we will add a consent banner first and update this section.

12. Children

The Service is intended for users aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Security

We use HTTPS site-wide, hash sensitive credentials, rate-limit our public APIs, and follow standard WordPress hardening practices. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affecting your data occurs, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware, in line with applicable law.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices evolve. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes (anything that would meaningfully expand the data we collect or how we share it) will be announced by email to the address on file at least 30 days before they take effect.
