## Description

Protect the integrity and authenticity of your website content without leaving WordPress.
This Copyleaks integration connects your CMS directly to the Copyleaks plagiarism
and AI detection API, displaying instant scan results right inside your WordPress
platform.

**Features**

 * **AI Detection Score** — an AI-generated content score for every scanned post
   or page, shown directly in the posts list.
 * **Plagiarism Score** — a plagiarism / matched-content score for every scanned
   post or page.
 * **Grammar Suggestions** — a grammar corrections count for scanned content.
 * **Auto-Scans** — automatic scanning when a post or page reaches a chosen status(
   Pending Review or Published), plus manual on-demand scanning and a retry button
   for failed scans.
 * **Encryption and Data Security** — API credentials are stored encrypted, and 
   content is transmitted securely to the Copyleaks API.

**External Service**

This plugin transmits the plain-text content of posts and pages — along with the
post title and the post author’s WordPress username, email address, and user ID —
to the Copyleaks API (https://copyleaks.com) for plagiarism and AI-generated content
analysis. Data is sent when a post reaches the configured status trigger or when
a manual scan is initiated by a user who can edit the post. No site-visitor data
is collected or transmitted. Copyleaks is a paid, credit-based third-party service;
each scan consumes credits from your Copyleaks account.

Please review the following before activating the plugin:

 * [Copyleaks Privacy Policy](https://copyleaks.com/privacy-policy)
 * [Copyleaks Terms of Use](https://copyleaks.com/termsofuse)

### Privacy Policy

This plugin sends post content to the Copyleaks external API for analysis. See the**
External Service** section above and the [Copyleaks Privacy Policy](https://copyleaks.com/privacy-policy)
for full details.

**Data Collection & Security:** To provide plagiarism and AI-content analysis, text
and documents submitted for scanning are securely transmitted and processed using
enterprise-grade 256-bit AES encryption. By default, Copyleaks personnel do not 
have access to your submitted files. No credit card or payment details are stored
on Copyleaks servers; all transactions are securely handled externally via Stripe.

**Paid, Credit-Based Service:** Copyleaks is a paid service operating on a credit-
based system. Each scan consumes credits based on the word count of the submitted
document.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Copyleaks account?

Yes. Copyleaks is a paid, credit-based service, so an active Copyleaks account with
API access is required and each scan consumes credits from your account. Sign up
and view pricing at https://copyleaks.com.

### What data is sent to Copyleaks?

The plain-text content of posts and pages (HTML stripped), the post title, and the
post author’s WordPress username, email address, and user ID are submitted to the
Copyleaks API for analysis. No site-visitor data is transmitted.

### Is the API Secret stored securely?

Yes. The API Secret is encrypted before being stored in the WordPress database.

### Can I scan posts manually?

Yes. Set the scan trigger to **Manual** in the Configuration tab. A “Scan now” button
will appear in the posts list for any post that has not yet been scanned.

### How does AI detection work?

When a Large Language Model writes a sentence, it uses all its pre-training data
to create a response or an output based on statistical modeling. AI detectors can
recognize this pattern and flag certain content as AI-generated because it significantly
differs from the way humans write.

AI detectors can be trained on human-written content samples, so the presence of
an AI text generator becomes clearer compared to human writing.

### What models can the AI Detector detect?

Copyleaks can detect content from GPT-5, GPT-4, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek,
Llama (Meta), Bloom, Rytr, Jasper, and more.

### Why is there a minimum and maximum text requirement for some AI Detector content scans?

The Copyleaks detection models need a certain volume of text to determine AI presence
accurately. More characters improve detection confidence.

 * Minimum: 255 characters
 * Maximum: 2,000 pages (no character maximum)

### What data protection does Copyleaks have?

Copyleaks prioritizes data privacy and compliance. Current certifications include:

 * SOC2 & SOC3
 * GDPR
 * PCI DSS
 * NIST RMF

Visit the [Copyleaks Compliance and Certifications](https://copyleaks.com/compliance-certifications)
and [Security Practices](https://copyleaks.com/security-practices) pages to learn
more.

### Does the Copyleaks AI Detector flag writing tools like Grammarly as AI?

Not all writing tool features are flagged. Grammarly’s AI-based rewriting features
may trigger detection, while basic grammar and spell-check functions typically do
not.

The AI Detector is designed to distinguish between minor edits and generative rewriting,
helping ensure fair and accurate analysis.

### What happens to my data when I uninstall the plugin?

All plugin data is removed on uninstall: scan records, options, transients, and 
the custom database table are all deleted.
