## Deskripzioa

Clockdo helps WordPress site owners protect their publish date by generating a verifiable
content timestamp.

When your post goes public, Clockdo creates a deterministic fingerprint (SHA-256)
and requests an OpenTimestamps proof. This allows you to independently verify that
your content existed at a specific time — useful for documentation, plagiarism disputes,
and publish date verification.

### Features

 * Generate per-post timestamp records
 * Request OpenTimestamps proof
 * Export .ots and manifest files
 * Optional public meta tags and post footer with verification link
 * Independent verification using standard tools

### Use Cases

 * Prove when an article was first published
 * Add a visible publication record to your posts
 * Protect against plagiarism disputes
 * Maintain an independent timestamp history
 * Provide verification material for disputes or takedown cases

English (Summary)
 * Generate per-post records and proof history in the dashboard.*
Save proof artifacts to your WordPress uploads folder. * Optionally inject public
meta tags and/or a “Verify” footer link. * Proofs are designed to be independently
verifiable with standard OpenTimestamps tools.

### Privacy

This plugin may collect and store:
 * WordPress post metadata (post ID, URL, timestamps),*
deterministic hashes (SHA-256), * proof IDs/statuses, * proof artifacts written 
to local disk under `wp-content/uploads/clockdo-ots-private/`.

Outbound requests:
 * This plugin connects to a remote timestamping API (configured
by you) to request proofs. * Depending on configuration, it may upload `manifest.
json` and/or `export.json` (which can include post title and content).

Public disclosure:
 * If you enable meta injection or public verify links, your 
public pages may expose a hash/canonicalization identifier and a verification link.

See the included docs (for operators):
 * `assets/docs/privacy.md` * `assets/docs/
third_party_services.md` * `assets/docs/data_deletion_uninstall.md`

### Third Party Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

 1. **Clockdo Timestamping API** (`ots-api.clockdo.com`)
 2.  * Used to register sites, submit timestamp requests, and check proof status.
     * Endpoints called: `/api/v1/public/sites`, `/api/v1/public/site-stamps`, `/api/
       v1/site/me`, `/api/v1/stamps/{id}/`
     * Data sent: site domain, post URL, SHA-256 hash, manifest/export JSON.
     * Service homepage: [https://ots.clockdo.com](https://ots.clockdo.com)
     * Privacy policy: [https://ots.clockdo.com/privacy](https://ots.clockdo.com/privacy)
     * Terms of service: [https://ots.clockdo.com/terms](https://ots.clockdo.com/terms)
 3. **Clockdo Verification Page** (`ots-verify.clockdo.com`)
 4.  * If public verify links are enabled, post pages may link to this domain for independent
       proof verification.

All outbound connections are made via the WordPress HTTP API (`wp_remote_post` /`
wp_remote_get`).
 The API Base URL is configurable; the above domains are defaults.

### Uninstall

Uninstall removes plugin options and database tables, but proof files may remain.

To fully remove local data, delete `wp-content/uploads/clockdo-ots-private/` after
uninstall.

### Disclaimer

This plugin provides timestamping and verification tooling. It is not legal advice,
not a certification service, and does not determine ownership.

## Instalazioa

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or upload the ZIP via Plugins-
    > Add New -> Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to the plugin Settings page and set your API Base URL and fetch/save your Site
    ID.
 4. Publish a post and submit a record, or use the batch submit button in the dashboard.

## MEG

### Is this a copyright registration?

No. This plugin creates a verifiable timestamp record. It does not register copyright
or determine legal ownership.

### Can this help in disputes?

It provides independent timestamp evidence that may support your documentation process.
Legal outcomes depend on jurisdiction and additional evidence.

### Does this prove ownership/copyright?

No. It proves that a specific fingerprint existed by a certain time (via an OTS 
proof). Ownership depends on broader evidence and jurisdiction.

### What data is timestamped?

A SHA-256 fingerprint of a canonical representation of content and/or a manifest
that references it.

### Where are proof files stored?

Locally on your WordPress server (uploads directory). If you purchase a separate
hosted plan, proofs may also be hosted by the Clockdo service (manifest + .ots only).

### Will this affect SEO?

Meta tags do not duplicate content. If you enable a public footer link, consider`
rel="nofollow"` by default.
