Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 13, 2026

1. Introduction

ZaciSEO (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a WordPress plugin developed by Zack and distributed through zaciso.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our plugin and visit our website.

2. Information We Collect

Plugin Usage

ZaciSEO runs entirely within your WordPress admin dashboard. The plugin itself does not transmit any data to our servers. All SEO analysis, scan results, and generated content are processed and stored locally in your WordPress database.

• Post content — scanned locally to generate SEO scores and suggestions. Never sent to us.
• Settings — stored in your WordPress database under the zaciseo_settings option.
• API keys — if you enable AI features, your OpenAI API key is encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored in your database. We never receive or store your API key.

Website

When you visit zaciso.com, we may collect:

• Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited).
• Information you voluntarily provide when contacting us via email.

3. Third-Party Services

OpenAI API

If you enable AI-powered generation features, the plugin sends post content (titles, excerpts, body text) directly from your server to OpenAI’s API. This data is sent from your WordPress installation to OpenAI — it does not pass through our servers.

OpenAI’s handling of this data is governed by their own privacy policy and API terms of service. We recommend reviewing OpenAI’s Privacy Policy before enabling AI features.

Google Autocomplete

The keyword suggestion feature queries Google’s public autocomplete endpoint. These requests are made directly from your server to Google. No data passes through ZaciSEO servers.

4. Cookies

The ZaciSEO plugin does not set any cookies. It operates entirely within the WordPress admin interface and relies on WordPress’s own authentication cookies.

The zaciso.com website may use essential cookies for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your preferences). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

5. Data Storage and Security

• All plugin data is stored in your own WordPress database.
• API keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC with WordPress auth salts.
• AJAX endpoints are protected by WordPress nonces, capability checks, and rate limiting.
• Security events are logged locally for transparency during testing.

6. Data Retention

Plugin data persists as long as the plugin is installed. Uninstalling the plugin and deleting its data from your database removes all stored information. We retain no copies.

7. Your Rights

Since all data remains on your WordPress installation, you have full control over it. You can:

• View, edit, or delete any stored SEO data through your WordPress admin.
• Deactivate and uninstall the plugin at any time.
• Request deletion of any personal information you’ve sent us via email.

8. Children’s Privacy

ZaciSEO is a professional tool intended for WordPress administrators. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
