Docs › Your data & privacy
A clear account of what information the tool touches, how briefly, and what we keep afterward (almost nothing).
| Information | How it’s used | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Your FTP username & password | To connect to your site and apply fixes | Only during your session, in encrypted memory. Wiped on disconnect or after 15 minutes. |
| Your site’s web address | To test whether the site is working before and after fixes | Only during your session. |
| Your access token | To confirm you’re authorised for that one site | Stored by us to prevent reuse on other sites. Contains no personal data. |
| A few config/log files from your site | Read to diagnose the error; some are edited to fix it | Not retained by us. Backups stay on your server, under your control. |
When the tool changes a file, it first copies the original into a folder named wp-repair-backups on your own website. These backups never leave your server. You can delete that folder at any time after you’re happy with the result.
The tool uses a single, strictly-necessary session cookie so your browser stays connected during the repair, plus a temporary key used to protect your credentials. These are deleted when you disconnect. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
