Campaign AI integration plugin that protects websites and ad campaigns from bots and invalid traffic using real-time click fraud detection.

== Description ==

Campaign AI is a **service-connected WordPress plugin** that integrates your website with the Campaign AI fraud prevention platform.

The plugin enables your site to communicate with Campaign AI’s remote analysis system, allowing traffic activity to be evaluated for signs of automated behavior, malicious access, or advertising abuse.

⚠️ **Notice:**  
Campaign AI requires an **active external account**. The plugin alone does not provide fraud detection without a valid Campaign AI integration code.

### How Campaign AI works

Once configured, Campaign AI observes incoming visits and sends limited technical data to its remote service.  
This information is processed to help identify patterns commonly associated with click fraud, bots, and invalid traffic sources.

The plugin communicates with the following external service:

* **https://cronjob.campaign-ai.com**

### Information transmitted

To function correctly, Campaign AI may transmit the following data elements to its service endpoint:

* Campaign AI integration code
* Visitor IP address
* Referrer URL (if available)
* Time of the request

This data is used strictly for traffic evaluation and fraud detection purposes.

### Purpose of data processing

The transmitted information allows Campaign AI to:

* Detect automated or scripted traffic
* Identify suspicious click behavior
* Reduce waste from invalid advertising interactions
* Improve campaign performance insights

Campaign AI does **not intentionally collect personal user information** beyond what is technically necessary to perform fraud analysis.
