Your data stays on your server.

← Back to AI Crawler Control

What the plugin records

For automated crawler requests to your site, identified by their published user-agent, the plugin records:

• The crawler name and user-agent string (for example GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended).
• The request path, a timestamp, and the response size used to estimate bandwidth.
• The requesting IP address of the crawler, used to help identify it. These are the bot operator’s own server addresses, not the addresses of your human visitors.

The plugin is built to log bot traffic. It does not track, fingerprint or build profiles of your human visitors, and it does not read the content of your pages or your visitors’ personal data.

Where it is stored

All logs are written to your own WordPress database, on your own hosting. You are the data controller. Nothing is copied, mirrored or transmitted off your server.

What is transmitted, and where

Nothing leaves your site. The plugin makes no external API calls, contains no analytics or tracking, and never phones home to J6 Venture. It has no cloud component.

Blocking crawlers

When you choose to block a crawler, the plugin applies rules on your own site (such as robots directives and request handling) to turn that crawler away. This too involves no third party and sends no data anywhere.

Data retention and your control

• Logs remain in your database until you clear them or until any retention period you set removes them.
• You can clear the log at any time from the plugin’s screen in wp-admin.
• Uninstalling the plugin removes its logged data from your database.

Third parties and remote code

The plugin uses no third-party services and loads no remotely hosted code. Everything it runs ships inside the plugin package and executes on your server.

Your responsibilities as the site owner

Because all data lives on your own server and you control it, you remain the data controller. If your jurisdiction requires it, mention automated-crawler logging in your site’s own privacy policy. The plugin gives you the tools to view, clear and control that data at any time.

Children

The plugin is a site-administration tool for website owners, is not directed at children, and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If the plugin’s data handling ever changes, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be noted in the plugin’s changelog.
