External services
This plugin’s optional Link Scanner feature can make outbound HTTP requests. There is no single third‑party API used; requests go directly to the destination sites you choose to scan.
- What service: Direct HTTP requests via the WordPress HTTP API (wp_remote_head/wp_remote_get) to the URLs you select. The scanner may also fetch each target host’s robots.txt (e.g., https://your-domain.example/robots.txt) to respect crawl rules.
- What data is sent: The destination URL is requested with a user agent of “BasisRedirects-LinkScanner/1.0” and standard HTTP headers. No personal data is sent by the plugin. You control which hosts and paths are scanned (by default restricted to your own site; you can change this in the scan settings).
- When: Only when an administrator starts a scan or enqueues URLs on the Link Scanner admin page. If you do not use the Link Scanner, no outbound requests are made by this feature.
- Terms/Privacy: Requests are made directly to the destination sites you choose; their respective Terms of Service and Privacy Policies apply. The plugin itself does not send data to any third‑party service provider. WordPress (the platform) privacy policy: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/
