Privacy

| Allow External Data Transmission | When enabled, aggregated store metrics (revenue totals, order counts, product names) are sent to the configured AI provider. Raw customer PII is never transmitted. The Ask AI feature requires this to be enabled. |
Important: If this setting is disabled, the Ask AI chat will return an error message and refuse to process questions. Enable it to allow the plugin to send anonymized store metrics to the AI for analysis.
