External Services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin connects to external services in two situations:<\/p>\n\n
1. EasyEmbed Dashboard (easyembed.io)<\/h4>\n\n
When you configure a Dashboard URL in the plugin settings and use the id<\/code> attribute in a shortcode, the plugin connects to the EasyEmbed service at easyembed.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nWhat data is sent and when:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- The embed ID and your API key are sent to retrieve the document URL and display settings each time a shortcode is rendered on a page.<\/li>\n
- The embed's public ID is sent to record a view count each time a visitor loads a page with a managed embed.<\/li>\n
- Your API key is sent to retrieve your list of embeds in the WordPress admin panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
No data is sent to easyembed.io when using direct URL embeds (the url<\/code> attribute), or when no Dashboard URL is configured in the plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n\n- EasyEmbed Terms of Service<\/a><\/li>\n
- EasyEmbed Privacy Policy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2. Microsoft Office Online Viewer (view.officeapps.live.com)<\/h4>\n\n
When embedding Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), or PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx) files using a direct URL, the plugin constructs an iframe pointing to Microsoft's free Office Online viewer service.<\/p>\n\n
What data is sent and when:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- The publicly accessible URL of the document file is passed as a query parameter to
view.officeapps.live.com<\/code> in the iframe src<\/code> attribute, each time a visitor loads a page with that embed. The document URL is sent to Microsoft's servers so their viewer can fetch and display the file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThis service is provided by Microsoft. No personal user data is sent \u2014 only the document URL.<\/p>\n\n
