Find wpForo forum plugin addons on gVectors Team website...

Use of 3rd Party Services

wpForo connects to external services operated by gVectors Team for certain features. These connections are optional and only active when the corresponding features are enabled by the forum administrator.

gVectors AI API (api.gvectors.com, api.gvectors.net)

When AI features are enabled by the forum administrator, wpForo sends forum content (topics, posts, and metadata) to the gVectors AI API for processing. This includes:

• Content Indexing: Forum content is sent to embedding generation for vector database
• Semantic Search: Query is sent for embedding for vector search
• AI Translation: Forum text is sent for translation into other languages
• AI Summarization: Topic content is sent for automatic summary generation
• Content Moderation: New posts are sent for AI-powered content analysis
• AI Chat: Conversation context is sent for AI response generation
• Topic Suggestions: Forum data is sent for generating related topic recommendations

No data is sent to the AI API unless the forum administrator explicitly enables AI features, accepts the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and configures an API key. A fallback domain (api.gvectors.net) may be used automatically if the primary domain is unreachable.

Terms of Service Privacy Policy

gVectors Addons Store (gvectors.com)

When using wpForo addons purchased from the gVectors store, the plugin communicates with gvectors.com to verify addon licenses and deliver automatic updates through the WordPress Dashboard. This includes sending your site URL and license key to validate your purchase and check for available addon updates.

Terms of Service Privacy Policy

gVectors Addons News & License Reminders (store.gvectors.com)

If the forum administrator explicitly enables the addon news service (it is disabled by default and requires opt-in), wpForo connects to store.gvectors.com once per day to:

• Fetch news about new addons, new features and announcements (endpoint: /news) — this request sends no site-specific data beyond standard HTTP request information
• Check for addon licenses that are close to expiration (endpoint: /at-risk-licenses) — this request sends your site address, an anonymous site identifier (an HMAC hash generated from your site domain and your WordPress security salts), and the slugs and installed versions of your gVectors addons

No personal data, no email addresses, and no forum content is ever sent to this service. News notifications are shown as dismissible messages in the WordPress admin, and summary emails are sent by your own site (via your own mail server) to site administrators. The service can be disabled at any time from the wpForo Addons page, which stops all outbound requests immediately.
