Privacy Policy
Effective Date
[TBD — set before launch]
Overview
BuildPress (“we”, “us”, “our”) develops WordPress plugins — BuildPress MCP and BuildPress Pro — that enable AI-assisted website building. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Key principle: BuildPress plugins run entirely on your WordPress server. We do not process your site content, designs, or user data on our infrastructure.
What We Collect
Plugin Update Checks
When your WordPress site checks for plugin updates (automatically every 12 hours, per WordPress default behavior), a request is sent to downloads.usebuildpress.com containing:
- Your current plugin version number
- Your WordPress version
- Your PHP version
- Your site URL (sent by WordPress core as part of the HTTP request)
We do not collect: page content, user data, design tokens, memory entries, audit logs, or any data stored in your WordPress database.
Marketing Website
When you visit usebuildpress.com:
- Standard web analytics (page views, referrer, browser/device — via [analytics provider TBD])
- Contact form submissions (name, email, message)
- Purchase/account information if you buy BuildPress Pro
Support Communications
When you contact us for support:
- Your name and email address
- The content of your support request
- Any diagnostic information you voluntarily share
What We Do NOT Collect
- Content you create with BuildPress (pages, posts, designs)
- Your AI conversations or prompts
- MCP tool call data or audit logs
- Project memory entries
- WordPress user credentials or App Passwords
- Database contents
- Media library files
BuildPress plugins do not phone home, do not send telemetry, and do not transmit site data to our servers. The only external communication is the standard WordPress plugin update check.
Data Storage
Plugin Data (on YOUR server)
All BuildPress plugin data is stored in your WordPress database:
| Table | Purpose |
|---|---|
wp_buildpress_memory | Project memory entries |
wp_buildpress_memory_history | Memory revision history (Pro) |
wp_buildpress_mcp_audit_log | Tool call audit log |
Various wp_options entries | Plugin settings |
This data lives on your server and is governed by your hosting provider's data policies. We have no access to it.
Marketing Website Data
Data collected through our marketing website is stored on [hosting provider TBD] and processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Third Parties
BuildPress plugins do not share data with third parties. The plugins do not integrate with any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Your AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) receives tool responses from your WordPress server as part of the MCP protocol. This data flow is between your server and your AI client — BuildPress does not intermediate or store this traffic.
Your Rights
GDPR (EU users)
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. Contact privacy@usebuildpress.com.
CCPA (California users)
You have the right to know what personal information we collect and to request deletion. Contact privacy@usebuildpress.com.
Plugin Data
Since plugin data is stored on your server, you have full control. You can:
- View all data in your WordPress admin (Memory page, Audit Log page)
- Delete individual entries through the admin UI
- Drop database tables via WP-CLI or phpMyAdmin
- Uninstall the plugin (tables are preserved by default; manual deletion required)
Cookies
Marketing Website
[Cookie details TBD — depends on analytics provider and any consent management tool]
WordPress Plugin
BuildPress plugins do not set any cookies. The plugins use WordPress's existing authentication system (cookies set by WordPress core).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via [method TBD — email, website banner, plugin admin notice].
