This plugin sends data to an external AI provider only after you configure credentials and when a feature is used (reindex or shopper query). It does not phone home to the plugin author.
External services
This plugin connects to external services that you choose and configure. It does not send data until credentials (or a webhook URL) are saved and a feature is used (catalog reindex or shopper chat/search). No requests are made to the plugin author’s servers.
OpenAI
- Why: optional AI chat and embeddings provider.
- When: only after an administrator selects OpenAI, saves an API key, and reindexes or a shopper uses Virelo.

- Endpoint:

LongCat
- Why: optional AI chat provider (
https://api.longcat.chat/openai/v1). - When: only after an administrator selects LongCat, saves an API key (and any required configuration), and a shopper uses Virelo or another feature that calls the chat API. No LongCat requests occur until then.
- Data transmitted: conversation messages; product information and catalog candidate snippets required to generate grounded AI responses; model and request parameters needed for the API call.

Custom OpenAI-compatible API base
- Why: optional merchant-entered HTTPS base URL compatible with OpenAI-style chat/embeddings APIs.
- When: only after an administrator enters the base URL and credentials and uses reindex or chat.
- Data transmitted: same categories as above (catalog text and/or shopper prompts and product snippets), sent to the host you configure.
- Terms / Privacy: governed by the service behind the URL you enter; review that provider’s policies before use.
WordPress AI Client connectors (WordPress 7.0+)
- Why: optional site-level AI connectors configured in WordPress instead of (or alongside) a direct provider API key.
- When: only when connectors are available/configured on the site and Virelo uses them for a chat request.
- Data transmitted: shopper prompts and catalog candidate snippets required for grounded answers, via the connectors you enable in WordPress.
- Terms / Privacy: follow the policies of each connector/provider configured on your WordPress site.
Optional merchant webhook
- Why: notify your own systems about search-related events.
- When: only after an administrator saves a webhook HTTPS URL and a configured feature fires the webhook.
- Data transmitted: anonymized search-related payload for your own integrations.
- Terms / Privacy: your destination URL; you control that endpoint.
