Data Processing and Privacy

This plugin connects to AiGude’s captioning service to generate and translate image alternative text.

• Images and texts are transmitted to the service for processing.
  • We do not store images after processing; they are held only in memory long enough to generate a response.
• Alt-text generation is performed on AiGude–managed infrastructure located in the European Union. Image files are sent over HTTPS to this infrastructure. No third-party vendors are used for alt-text generation.
