External Services

This plugin connects to Bonsai.io (https://bonsai.io), a managed full-text search service, to perform search queries and sync your WordPress content.

What data is sent:
* Search queries typed by site visitors (sent to your own Bonsai.io cluster — not to the plugin author)
* Post content, titles, and metadata during indexing (sent directly from your server to your Bonsai.io cluster)
* No personally identifiable information is collected by the plugin author

When data is sent:
* On every search request by a site visitor
* When the admin triggers a content sync (Sync Now)
* Automatically in background batch jobs when content is published or updated

Third-party service information:
* Service: Bonsai.io — https://bonsai.io
* Terms of Service: https://bonsai.io/terms
* Privacy Policy: https://bonsai.io/privacy

You must have your own Bonsai.io account and cluster. All search data is stored in your own cluster — the plugin author has no access to it.

Cloudflare Workers KV (optional)

This plugin can optionally sync your search configuration (synonyms, field mappings, boosting settings) to Cloudflare Workers KV — a globally distributed key-value store. This is used to deliver real-time search configuration updates to a Cloudflare Worker proxy, reducing latency for search queries.

This feature is entirely optional and only activates if you provide your own Cloudflare account credentials (Account ID, Namespace ID, API Token) in the plugin settings.

What data is sent:
* Search configuration data: synonym lists, field mappings, and boost settings
* No user data or personally identifiable information is ever sent to Cloudflare KV through this plugin
* Data is sent only to your own Cloudflare KV namespace — not to the plugin author

When data is sent:
* Only when an admin clicks “Push to KV” or when configuration is saved and auto-push is enabled
* Never sent automatically without admin action or explicit configuration

Third-party service information:
* Service: Cloudflare Workers KV — https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/
