contacts at the endpoints below.
What data is sent to the service, and when:
- Pairing (one time, when you click Connect): your one-time pairing code and your
site URL are sent to /api/connector/wp/pair, and the service returns a
connection token that is stored on your site.
- Configuration fetch (hourly, and when you click “Save and refresh”): your
connection token and site URL are sent to /api/connector/wp/config, and the
txt, meta description, Open Graph tags,
Organization schema, and AI-crawler list.
- Publish queue (hourly, and when you click “Publish now”): your connection token
is sent to /api/plugin/publish-queue, and the service returns the articles you
approved in your BeFound dashboard (title, body, image, and metadata).
- Publish confirm (after the plugin publishes an article): your connection token,
the new WordPress post ID, and its URL are sent to /api/plugin/publish-confirm
so your dashboard can show the live link.
- Listing state (after the plugin reconciles listed/unlisted articles): your
connection token and the per-article listed/unlisted state are sent to
/api/plugin/listing-state.
To verify fixes are live, the plugin also reads your own public homepage and your
txt URL. That is your own site, not the service, and no data is sent to
a third party in that step.
The plugin does not send your site visitors’ personal data to the service.
