Security And Data

Your Data Stays On Your Site.

What Presstack keeps, where it keeps it, what leaves your site and why.

In Your Own WordPress Database.
Where Your Data Lives

In Your Own WordPress Database.

Presstack is a WordPress plugin (or the theme, if you build the whole site with it), so it runs where your site runs. What Cleo knows and does is stored there, not in an account somewhere else.

  • On Your Site

    Your business details, Cleo's notes, the history of every change and the copies used to undo them, your ranking history and your enquiries. All in your own database.

  • On Our Side

    Your account and licence, a record of credits used (what was charged and for what, not the content), the sites your licence is used on, and your Google connection if you make one.

  • Not Kept At All

    The text sent for writing and the text that comes back are passed through, not stored. Nothing is logged with your content in it.

  • Short Lived Copies

    To avoid paying twice for the same lookup, an AI engine's answer to a search is kept for 7 days and ranking data for 14. Neither holds anything about your business.

Only What A Job Needs, Only When You Use It.
What Leaves Your Site

Only What A Job Needs, Only When You Use It.

Nothing is sent anywhere on its own. When Cleo writes, checks a ranking or makes an image, the part needed for that job only goes to the service that needs it.

  • Writing And Images

    To write, Cleo sends the instructions and the business details the job needs to Anthropic, through Presstack. Images are made by fal.ai. Use your own Anthropic or fal.ai key and the request goes straight from your site to them.

  • Rankings And Research

    Keyword positions and search data come from DataForSEO. AI answer checks ask OpenAI, Google Gemini and Anthropic the question you are tracking. None of it needs your content.

  • Your Google Data

    Search Console and Analytics are connected with read only access. Presstack reads them and never writes to them. Disconnect at any time and the access is revoked at Google.

  • Payments

    Subscriptions and purchases go through Stripe's own checkout. Card details are entered with Stripe and never reach Presstack or your site.

Security Questions

  • No.

    Your business details, history, enquiries and ranking history live in your own WordPress database. When Cleo writes, the text needed for that job passes through Presstack to the AI provider and back, and is not stored or logged.
